What’s more, there is even a newly released quasi-sequel/kind-of remake of the game, and it’s fantastic (but similar enough in design that we didn’t want to include both.) And luckily, it’s still available via GOG. That was the world into which Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate was released in 1998. Remember the 1990s? Surge, Sam Goody, and Warhammer 40,000 third edition.

Warhammer 40,000: Inquistor - Martyr is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. It works better than you might think, and it will lead to some truly memorable ARPG encounters. With its focus on ranged combat, especially with certain classes, the cover system helps enable a more tactical ranged experience. But it’s still a thrilling time nonetheless, and it tosses in a wrinkle that helps it stand out from other ARPGs: its cover system. Admittedly, it is a bit messy - glitches, poor microtransactions, a forgettable story, and a boring endgame hold Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr back from being truly special. It is a Diablo-like through and through, with loot and in-depth character building. This 2018 game puts you in the role of an Imperial Inquisitor (kind of like an armed, galactic super priest) as you battle across the universe in a familiar action-RPG fashion. Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr Image: NeoCoreGamesĭo you like Warhammer 40,000? Do you like Diablo? If your answer to both of these questions is yes, then Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr (it gets no points in the name department) is the game for you. Space Hulk: Deathwing Enhanced Edition is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC. It is by no means a perfect Warhammer 40,000 game, but it is a first-person shooter with wrist-mounted guns and chainswords, so it is still a rip-roaring (often literally) good time. From vast spaces to maze-like corridors, you’ll fight your way by bolter and blade through hordes of Tyranid Genestealers who have taken refuge in the Space Hulk that you and your team are tasked with exploring. You and an AI (or live player) control a squad of Terminator Marines of the Dark Angels chapter as they explore not-so-abandoned Space Hulks (vast derelict space vessels often twisted by The Warp, a realm of unreality) looking for artifacts. Space Hulk: Deathwing is a first-person survival shooter that was released in 2016.

(Unless you count the sudden removals of Legacy of Dorn: Herald of Oblivion and Warhammer 40,000: Regicide from digital marketplaces. There’s an absolutely massive array of games from myriad nooks and crannies of the 40K universe, and if recent years are any proof, their proliferation shows no signs of slowing down. From tabletop to screen, it is often a grim affair.īut it is a fun setting to play games in, because the world Games Workshop has created lends itself well to both tabletop and video games, from wars fought at inconceivable scales to in-your-face skirmishes. In many ways, humankind is among the worst of all the warring factions.
Demons, Orks, and aliens of all varieties abound. It’s grim, there are no good guys, and there are these fellas called Space Marines who carry machine guns that shoot rockets, and people deify them like gods. So, now may be the best time ever to dip your toes (or dive headlong) into the vast, complex, intimidating sci-fi universe. Games Workshop, Warhammer 40K’s creator, is also finally taking steps to change parts of the franchise’s lore that have attracted hate groups in its community. Said universe is also undergoing a dramatic shift in the lore’s status quo, as the narrative turns sideways across books, video games, tabletop games, and general fandom. Henry Cavill, everyone’s favorite celebrity nerd, moved away from his roles as Superman and Geralt of Rivia and toward a collaboration with Amazon on a series based in his beloved Warhammer 40K universe. It would be an understatement to say that Warhammer 40,000 is having a moment.
