Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters is very much XCOM with Space Marines. Gears Tactics is a good point of comparison, but I found Daemonhunters even more traditional at times, to the point it was easy to spot familiar systems operating beneath the grim-dark veneer. That said, it still offers impressive production values for an indie title, with a suitably epic, narrative-driven campaign and an aggressive gameplay loop that’s perfect for those who prefer shorter, tougher missions with plenty of decision-making in between. It also plays great on a gamepad – I’m guessing it was just the small team size that prohibited a simultaneous console launch – just don’t expect it to change your mind about the genre, even if you love the IP.
