Well, I had issues installing the game. I had to reboot the computer about 5 times. The download would hang, so I’d have to reboot, restart steam, continue download.
Eventually working.
And, one campaign mission in, I like it.
It feels quite fun, a bit like DoW2 imho, in that your hero unit is doing all the work.
One thing I think they could have done better is add more lore, e.g. to the various elites. The more info question mark just tells me the abilities and stats. I think they assume I know what Dreadnoughts are (I do) but this is, imho, a missed immersion opportunity.
Plus I finished the first orc mission (great fun) but got no skulls and no gorgutz experience…:S?
edit: one skirmish mission done, normal difficulty, non optimal play, still won fairly easily.
20 skulls earned, but no elite points, despite using all 3 of my elites?
Still, I managed to fight off an ork waagh with their music blaring etc. Was fun. Sp[ace marines are…strong it seems. But the right kind of strong.
more edit: I think they could have dressed up the powercore mechanic in more lore, e.g. the SM version would be a holy relic, and if destroyed then gg.
Would have added more variation and defused much of this moba accusation stuff imho.
