Over the years, 40k fans desperate to experience their beloved war-torn future in digitised form have received a precious few shining, darling games that they (by which I mean we) keep coming back to year after year.Īnd, as Games Workshop has recovered vigorously from its business slump ten years ago to become an eye-wateringly profitable entertainment juggernaut, the envy of CEOs the world over, several more such successful videogame forays into the 41st millennium have emerged, which absolutely deserve your time, (minimal) money and hard drive space.ĭawn of War stands shoulder to shoulder with demigods like Age of Empires 2 and Starcraft 2 But that, dear reader, is not to say there were no diamonds in the grimdark galactic rough.
To put it undiplomatically, a lot of them have been catastrophic, smoking dumpster fires, crippled by misbegotten concepts, uncomprehending publishers, short-changed budgets, confused mechanics, and jarring lore inconsistencies. In the 33 years that Warhammer 40,000 has been filling dining room tables with green-skinned cockney aliens and colourful, massive-shouldered Space Marines, the setting has generated at least 50 digital game adaptations (including, latterly, a few mobile offerings) and the vast majority of those – to put it diplomatically – have not managed to capture the magic of the tabletop game or its deep fiction. Warhammer 40k computer games get a bad rap.
