Rob Zacny Posted January 22, 2019 Three Moves Ahead 459: Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Tyranids In the grim dark future there is only war. No, really. In Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War, there is no diplomacy system. All of that nonsense has been put aside in lieu of 40K chainsword murder. Gladius manages to be a chimera of strategy games. Is it a 4X? Part of an RTS? Grimdark Civ? Whatever it is, Rob and Fraser generally like it.

Akalabeth Posted January 22, 2019 When you say it's a 4X just about war, isn't it comparable to say the old Warlords games? I played one of those, I think the third one, and if I remember correctly it was all just about building units and smashing the other guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Party Panzer Posted January 23, 2019 I too wrote this game off as soon as I saw it. Pleasantly surprised it is recommendable with some serious caveats. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khan Khomrad Posted February 1, 2019 So far I've only played once as the Space Marines and got obliterated by the Necron AI at normal. A very pleasant surprised. The game reminded me a lot about Endless Legend when it comes to the city building and management aspect as well as the battle mechanics. I hoped for an overview of the other civilizations aside from the Tyranids, Space Marines and Necrons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
