I'm actually quite excited as I missd a couple of these when they first came out! I just hope they updated them to fix the bugs and work on modern systems.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815774.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815774.page GMT Classic Warhammer Games now on Steam. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815790.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815790.page GMT Classic Warhammer Games now on Steam. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815810.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815810.page GMT Classic Warhammer Games now on Steam. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815829.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815829.page GMT Classic Warhammer Games now on Steam.

But what I really really want is DoW2 Retribution to work on my PC :(]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815833.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815833.page GMT Classic Warhammer Games now on Steam. TW Warhammer it was the best warhammer gaming experience you could get.

It's still a decent game and brings a few unique things to the field - eg heroes can do a whole challenge match where the pair just square off against each other in a micro fight which is very war/hero hammer style.

I'll certainly get Chaos Gate again just to see if it isn't game-breakingly broken like the GOG version.


EDIT: Although £6.39 after 20% off is a bit steep...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815840.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815840.page GMT Classic Warhammer Games now on Steam. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815841.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815841.page GMT Classic Warhammer Games now on Steam.
Touhou is the only series I'll buy from Steam, and DOS Box on GoG hasn't been upgraded for Windows 11 last time I tried Rites of War....

Obligatory..



Because yes, it's the best kind of campy peak!

Also, with the FMV's, it's recommended not to play the "Is Mark Bedford in this scene" drinking game. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815906.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815906.page GMT Classic Warhammer Games now on Steam. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815910.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815910.page GMT Classic Warhammer Games now on Steam.
I'd also love to see the return of the EA Space Hulk games, Vengeance of the Blood Angels was my first exposure to 40k way before I knew what it was all about.

It's on the GOG dream list if people want to vote in the hopes if making a return: https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/space-hulk-vengeance-of-the-blood-angels]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815913.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815913.page GMT Classic Warhammer Games now on Steam.

I'm not sure if it's 100% there or if there's any weird politics around who's running it or whatever so caveat emptor but Return of Reckoning is a very functional fan run private server initiative thing for Warhammer Online and it's playable, I've tried it. https://www.returnofreckoning.com/]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815924.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815924.page GMT Classic Warhammer Games now on Steam. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815925.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815925.page GMT Re:Classic Warhammer Games now on Steam.

From what the reviews say, outside of making it run on modern systems, nothing has been changed. So, gakky aim-assist is present, bare-bones options menu with zero options.

But it has the voices of Tom Baker, Burt Kwouk, Peter Serafinowicz, Sean Pertwee and BRIAN BLESSED. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815935.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818736/11815935.page GMT Classic Warhammer Games now on Steam. GW had it playing on a loop for months, great intro to the setting.

Firewarrior also has my favourite incarnation of the bolter out of any 40k game. It FEELS like a bolter should. A big noisy terror weapon that shoots tiny missiles that blow you up. The chaos bolter also makes a cool sound when you fire it.



As an FPS, the game is so-so. It's pretty basic, not in a bad way in my opinion, but it hasn't got anything flash going for it. The graphics are a product of their time, so while it's unfair to criticise them because of it, you shouldn't be surprised when you boot it up and aren't looking at a modern game.
The storyline also gets a bit out of hand at about the halfway mark seeing as you start out as a Shas'la on his first mission fighting your way through the trenches, to going on to plow through a squad of marines, a couple of companies worth of guardsmen/stormtroopers, a half-legions worth of chaos marines, two daemon princes and a lord of change....

Not to mention you pretty much single-handedly stop an enemy boarding your spaceship, before launching an almost one-tau counter assault on the enemy ship which results in you capturing a navy admiral before descending down into (almost) hell and promptly stopping a warp rift from opening.
And you cripple a warlord titan with a few (well placed!) sticks of dynamite. It makes just about any Arnie movie look sensible by comparison.

At the danger of raining on nostaliga, its a 90s FPS reskinned to 40k and released in 2003. If you like the aesthetic then you can perhaps overlook a lot of sins, but I don't think its really worth playing in 2026.

Cynically this is going to apply to a lot of these titles. I really enjoyed playing Final Liberation, Chaos Gate and Dark Omen. But that was then and this is now. The aesthetic/mood may still be 10/10, but certain things have moved on.
