In the campaign, the biggest issue was with some of the shooty Nid monsters that can almost erase a squad per turn (remove “almost” when the squad in question is Sisters), which is very rude. That said, I have to wonder about the balance of the game. Tyranids are stupid, and the AI may be as well If you need to whack a specific unit, it will act under all the usual rules for it, and the difficulty isn’t to chip through its health bar while learning the attack sequence, but to get close to it through the swarms of Tyranids. In fact, it didn’t even waste our time with dumb boss fights (I will never forgive Dawn of War 2 for the “random infantryman in a light tank” boss fight, nor will I forgive the ending battle of Retribution). I love it! This makes the campaign a lot more intimate, gives me more investment in the heroes and the story, and shows that the developer put in the work.

And while the upgrade trees are flavorful and open up a lot of options, this means that a fresh Intercessor squad and the one that you kept alive through the entire campaign will be entirely identical once they’re on the field for the final boss battle.

Sometimes the game itself will boot old units from your rosters, essentially deleting them to free space for the new types unlocked in the mission. The only way to track which units were with you for the longest time is to look at which missions they were present for.īut in mechanical terms, it doesn’t matter. In Battlesector, upgrades are bought army wide, and getting replacements costs nothing. In Sanctus Reach, individual unit survival mattered because units collected XP and earned upgrades.

Saint Sebastian Thor, save us from dynamic map campaignsĪh, but if we’re comparing these two titles, I’d say that Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector is a much more polished version of Sanctus Reach, save for one thing: campaign progression. Do you see what I mean about game motivating aggressive action? Getting that sweet momentum juice flowing got me out of some sticky situations, so you can’t really ignore it. Luckily, AP can be spent to move an extra square. Another impetus to play aggressively is that you lose 10 Momentum if you go on overwatch and 20 if you end your turn with AP remaining. This means that you want to get close and stuck in. The closer they are to the target, the better. They gain Momentum from kills (counting individual members of enemy squad). Each faction has a different way of gaining Momentum, but once the bar is full, the unit can launch either an empowered version of an ability they have or gain an AP to spend. The Momentum pool is a fun new addition to the formula. Though, outside of heroes, units have only a single AP.

All units have separate movement and action point pools, plus a Momentum pool. The unit stats go pretty deep, and each member of a squad has their own HP track. On the more mechanical side of things, it’s a turn-based game where you control up to 20 units at a time. So, that’s the story you’ll explore in the single-player campaign of Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector.
