Aye, right now its a bit of a mess. Some of the missions are hilariously poorly balanced due to the RNG nature. Spawn in a small room, pop open the only door, only to immediately get gunned down by a crapton of ranged opponents and a Dreadnought waiting for you there.

The game is.. okay right now. I've put some hours into this current build and while it's a massive step up from the previous versions, I still feel they've got a long way to go, it all still feels very alpha stage to me.

I've also stumbled across the following, in no particular order, personal gripes:

- "Muffin" is not allowed as a character name for some reason. Back to calling the Inquisitor "Punch Munchkin" it is then.
- The voice acting is all over the place. Weird delivery of some very weird lines. "I FEEL GREAT! I JUST KILLED A HELBRUTE! Oh by the way, the Space Marine is dying."
- They keep referring to a massive space ship as a "fortress monastery", wut.
- Annoying camera controls.
- Out of sync execution animations. It was supposed to be a cool killing animation of a Helbrute, where you tear the head off and stomp on it(?), but it looked like a poorly choreographed mess with bad clipping and weapon placement.
- The loot drops are piss poor, though this may be to punish people for going with cinematic mode instead of whatever the hardcore mode is called.
- During a VIP mission the VIP model was twice as big as every other model out there, not to mention as dumb as a bad of hammers.
- Slain Alpha Legion operatives spawn daemons of Nurgle, but slain Death Guard operatives do not.
- Turret emplacements are nine out of ten times utterly useless, despite the games insistence that you should hop on and let rip.
- I play an Inquisitor who was a Death Cult assassin, so every once in a while she hisses the phrase "Precious blood" when killing enemies, which feels pretty heretical, but YMMV.
- Some models still feel unfinished, like the Sentinel pilot when you destroy his vehicle.
- Hydra anti-air emplacements are used to represent mortars, again, wut.
- The Leman Russ Eradicator cannon is presented as an energy weapon and not a gun that shoots nukes.

Again, YMMV, these are my personal gripes so far. I'll still power my way through it when I've got the time, but so far, it's just okay.

But a mess.

Armageddon is a decent turn-based game, certainly not garbage tier.

Decided to reinstall and play it some more, forcing myself through the grind. There is a lot of that, especially with the missions not having a lot of variety (kill this, activate that, protect someone / something) and the drops being so-so most of the time.

At least I have a full bridge now so I can tinker with the healing implant and craft my own weaponry. Which is a bit.. odd, that they've put arbitrary waiting periods on the crafting of items.

And as I progress through the story more and more odd crap pops up. Voice acting is also still all over the place.

Eyup, their DLC right now isn't exactly doing all too well either judging from the Steam reviews.

I'd love to see the community crank out custom campaigns.

Just wrapped it up after thinking the story would carry on for some time to come, but nope, it had to end on a very, very weak cliff hanger by shoving the credits into my face.

And what is the point of a moral system if there isn't even enough gameplay to fill the flipping thing up? I've had what? Two, maybe three choices between radical and puritan..
