If you like the juggling-many-plates-style metagame of XCOM, it's pretty much guaranteed that you'll enjoy Daemonhunters. There have been other XCOM-style turn-based tactics titles set in this universe, including the excellent Mechanicus, but this latest one is a challenger for the top spot. There was a lot of anticipation around the awkwardly titled Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters, but does it live up to the pre-release hype? Yes, yes it does.ĭeamonhunters deserves a place among the top five games to carry the Warhammer name. There are a lot of PC games out there that carry the Warhammer name, and while the franchise can boast brilliance such as Dawn of War 1 & 2 and Space Marine, there's also absolute garbage like Dawn of War 3 and Fire Warrior. Gameplay: Warhammer 40K tabletop game brought to the PC, Strategic overview, RPG elements.Graphics: Cartoonish, but in a good way.
