Hi guys, Kenton here from Eutechnyx, the dev team currently working on Warhammer 40, 000: Storm of Vengeance. Just wanted to drop by and say hi. Over the coming few months we're going to be releasing increasing amounts of information about the game, and obviously we'd like as much feedback from the hardcore 40K fans as we can get.

Storm of Vengeance is a strategy game for mobile and Steam set during the Battle for Piscina IV. Over the course of 60 missions, you can play as either the Dark Angels under Master Belial or the Ork Waaagh! of Ghazghkull Thraka . Each mission requires you to construct buildings, collect resources, build and deploy units and use unique command skills to overcome the enemy.

Anyhow, we should have some gameplay to show fairly soon, but in the meantime here's a quick preview of one of our new units we haven't shown publicly before today.



All feedback welcome, we'd love to hear what you think!


You can find us on Twitter at @W40KSOV or via Facebook https://www.facebook.com/StormOfVengeance for regular updates.

That's not an Ork!
MOAR ORKS!

Looking forward to seeing more of your game, nice that you're asking for feedback. Will it be on Android, too, and not just on iPhones/iPads?

Yes, we're developing for iOS, Android and Steam.

Good, then I can get it too!

SM vs Orks again?
I wish there was a game that you play where you pick any army and go on a campaign against any of the others. Similar to the actual table top version. Real time strategy with all the fluff and fun that comes with the building of an army and creation of bases like this one in this Storm of Vengeance. Total Annihilation style.
Don't get me wrong, I love the sound of this game!

Ohh, sounds neat! Now, will this be a RTS or turn-based?

Interesting. Always good to see some VG adaptations.

When you say strategy, do you mean, Real Time Tactics, Real Time Strategy, Turn Based Tactics or Turn Based Strategy?

I find that whenever the term "strategy" is used, it refers to one of those four.

ooo shiny, i could get in on this....i echo Cthulu's question on strategy however....

Dawn of War then?

Big question for me:

Will you be developing the game for PC or Android/iOS first? Because, forgive my cynicism, I highly doubt you'd try and develop both at the same time and you'd rather save resources by porting one to the other.

We're actually developing for all platforms simultaneously. We're used to doing it, as we've made games for PC and multiple console platforms simultaneously in the past.

It's real time, with the game split into a large number of missions, each lasting around 5 minutes to make them suitable for mobile gaming and for those people who don't have endless hours to devote to their game sessions. The game takes place over 5 lanes which you can place buildings and units to try and capture the opponents lanes. Each unit can be individually customized with improved weapon types, grenades, jump packs (for assault marines) that let units jump between lanes, and a large range of other items and abilities. You can also unleash command skills on the battlefield, send Ravenwing or Ork Trukks to push a lane, and much much more. It's a bit of a new approach to the Warhammer universe, but everyone who's played it so far has been really hooked on it.

Anyway, hopefully we'll have some gameplay footage to show soon.

So more like a Tower Defense game meets a basic MOBA?

Sounds quite cool - looking forward to seeing some footage!

Micro transactions or pay to win and I'm giving this a miss

Is this sort of like League of Legends, gameplay wise?

Intrigued both by the concept, and that a dev is looking for feedback from Dakkaroos.

Eutechnyxs last mobile game, Ninja Cats vs Samurai Dogs, was a lane game, similar to the description above.

Having a poke around seems that game reviewed pretty well.

Looking forward to see what you do with Orks.

That said, I don't own a smartphone so I'm not getting this simply as I have nothing to play it on, unless you like... release it on steam or something.

I too am curious about the ork play, and I do have an android device to actually play it on. Though I'm curious how the payment will work, because as stated, pay to win and I'll probably say forget it.

It appears you're in luck:

Pretty good description really!

We want to get opinions from real 40K fans, we grew up with the IP ourselves so we want to make sure it feels as genuine as we can.

It's a similar style of game, but we've added a lot more this time.

It will be on Steam.

No pay to win here.

OK so since it's on the mobile and Steam, am I correct in saying that you plan to have this as a one-off payment? What sort of price bracket are you aiming for? And will you try and pull a fast one by charging double on Steam like some game companies do?

As for the game itself, I'm not fully sure on how it will play. I'd need some footage of gameplay to understand how it all works.

I´d rather become a Servitor than to pay for micro-transactions...

I'll probably buy this game. I would like to see the ork story be a bit more in depth than orks smash though, i think orks directness is too often translated into stupidity when it simply is a lack of fear coupled with supreme confidence. I'll probably give the marines campaign a miss though, I don't want to sit through all that emoistic saviour of the universe crap.

Hopefully this will be cool.

I couldn't put this better myself.

Cheers.

X3 as well. The orks have so much potential for good gaming ideas and plots and it's usually missed.

Some more info and a trailer. "No microtransactions" WOO!

Hmmm, looks pretty interesting.

I'm not 100% sold to be honest. I want to like this and it's cheap enough to give it a good go I suppose.

This looks pretty good! Can I ask if there will be a Mac version or am I limited to playing it on my phone? I'm not averse to the idea of playing it on my phone, but I'd rather desktop it tbh.
