Kind of obvious that this is mostly an early-game look into the game since it talks about only 4 classes, when in fact the game has 8 with the inclusion of the Librarian, Chaplain, Paladin, and Purifier. The Librarian in particular is utterly and completely broken with their Gate of Infinity ability, which allows one to do things like complete missions literally in a single turn especially in mid-game.
The four-Knights-per-mission thing is the only part that bugs me. I liked having multiple squads and heroes to command in the original game. Still wanna play this though!
Summon the tech priests. We must initiate the proper rituals to prepare our PC's for this game. And may the Omnissiah protect us from bugs, frame rate drops, and crashes.
If I didn’t have enough to play already, I would be getting this. The Grey Knights were my first army when I used to play 40k and to see a game finally focused around them is awesome. Until then though, back to King Arthur A Knight’s Tale.
I don't understand hype behind KAKT, it's limited to a point it makes me think it was rushed into early access. It has potential, but right now it looks to me like waste of time and money.
@@blacklight4720 It’s full release was last week and I have been playing the full game since last week. There is a review of the full game on this channel even so, yeah, the full game is awesome with good story, gameplay and voice acting.
@@grimsbeast I can go on and on about how unfinished KAKT is. There are features that are missing. I'm talking about some wild and complicated features, but something wuite basic. Other things are lazy design(especially the variety of enemies).
It's amazing that a franchise with such potential consistently drops the ball when it comes to functional games outside of the RTS genre. Is it a lack of funds or a lack of skill?
I'm sure you've played Space Hulk: Deathwing by now, but the people who made Vermintide 2 are making a game revolving around the Imperial Guard dealing with Nurgle corruption. It's called 40K: Darktide. Can't say for certain if it will be good or not, but those dudes do have a reputation of having pretty solid gameplay at the least.
@@rookiedrifter4273 Fatshark is the flagship for 40k games. I have logged hundreds of hours into it and I still love it. Hopefully, Darktide can meet and exceed expectations.
I think the issue is that 40k is not truly mainstream. It relies on so much passion, and whilst passion starts, it takes vision to create. This blows all other sci-fi away but it’s so much more vague
Can anyone tell me about Denuvo and the cosmetic stuff in this game? I have not seen reviews in which these points are discussed. I guess the DRM isn't very damaging to performance/stability, I hope? and the cosmetics, can we earn them or do we have to pay? I'd like to know before buying
I'd say plenty, the way you build your knights, the missions you go on, there's, dialogue options you choose... etc, I'm 30 hours in and I'm still on the first rung of the research tree. So there's plenty of hours worth of play even if I only do it once.
Why is the frame rate so poor during gameplay footage? Outside of gameplay it looks 60fps, smooth.. in gameplay it looks UNDER 30 fps. How was the performance?
I like XCOM style gameplay, and it seems there is a lot to do between missions, which is good. What bugs me is that I thought Space Marines are "walking cover" in the lore especially when donning Terminator armor. Seeing a Grey Knight in Terminator armor using cover doesn't seem right. Even cultists should not be able to damage Grey Knights with run-of-the-mill weapons, at most scratching the power armor. It doesn't even make sense at timestamp 8:06 where a cultist survives a swing from a Grey Knight. I understand Grey Knights are adept at combat, so it doesn't make sense at the same timestamp where aiming for the head is not available. Space Marines from the Retributors chapter cut through heretics like a hot knife through butter. I would expect more from Grey Knights in dealing with cultists.
Nah it’s not really like that. Yes they’re very tough but they still die in droves if they aren’t careful. The basic bolter was created with piercing power armor in mind (because the custodes and the new space marines needed to kill the thunder warriors VERY quickly) and there are plenty of basic less powerful bolsters in use through out the galaxy. Yes, the heretic cultists would have some off brand and weaker version. Also anti tank grenades, mines etc will still kill a space marine. Plus the acid and poison based attacks of nurgle always fucks up any imperium army. Space marines are powerful, but not that powerful
Well is a game though, I know what you mean, "why the fuck do regulars ass human can survive not space marines, super space marines swords?" Was my thoughts while playing, but is a game not a book, lore whise, grey kights are the most powerful space marines around but is a game thou
@Enis Berkay Mert Because the Grey Knights seem to thematically fit the theme they were going for, including the inclusion of psychic powers for every unit. Also, when my lone Purgator on the very first mission (not the tutorial) can kill an entire cultist group with a single cast of Psychic Onslaught it definitely feels like they're powerful to me. This is especially the case in mid-game where your Knights are so powerful they can clear entire missions in literally a single turn with the right abilities, up to and including boss fights.
He's not saying forty thousand k, he's saying forty thousand chaos gate. It threw me at first, too. Still, it is weird hearing the thousand pronounced every single time; everyone I know just says forty k.
but the game is published by Frontier, so they will make Money with it for Brabens next Villa or so, Would have been nice to Invest the Money in the neglected game first, before buying utterly expensive IPs and scamming your customers with that lazy asset flip called Oddyssey
I would say yes. I started my first playthrough on ruthless and got about 8 hours in, but had to restart as a lot of guys perma died and i was having hard time completing missions fresh recruits. So I rerolled on standard and the game let's you skip all tutorials and intro story stuff to get straight back into the campaign meat. My second playthrough has been pretty divergent so far as I got a bunch of different random events from my first playthrough which changed how I built my squad from the first go around. I would say there is easily 2 or 3 playthroughs here if you wanted to run through whole pool of random story events. Btw these random events all have consequences and rewards and certain characters will respond, some even have cutscenes. One ultimately lead me to having to exterminatus a planet (basically nuking it from orbit) because it got too corrupted. Later the Grand Master of the Grey knights chastised me for killing billions.
Is it just me or is the art really weird? The space marines have a 30,000 horus heresy vibe, with oversized boots and tiny thighs. The overall look is waaay to polished and straight-up plastic-looking to me. They should've taken notes from Space Marine - the game that came out over 10 years ago - that totally nailed the dark and gritty nature of 40k. This is by no means ugly, it just has the look of a korean MMROPG, a chinese mobile or Nintendo game, and i don't dislike those styles - it just doesnt work for me in the slightest for my 40k itch.
Is the money management easy? I just got BattleTech and refunded it due to not liking having to repair and replace my mechs constantly. I enjoy turn-based tactics just not the money macro aspect.
I'm probably the only one but I wish this was on consoles too like Xcom. I would play the hell out of this since the Gray knights was the first space marines I fell in love with.
I can only comment on Gears Tactics. As a Gears fan, the game got me into turn based games. Apparently it is way more aggressive and dynamic than many other similar games, with at least 3 action points a turn. My fairly limited dabbling in Phoenix Point confirms this. Play with the 'jacked' option to get a 5th utility character and more new enemy types. Id argue that it isnt as deep as some of these games- between missions, customisation is limited to soldier skills and loadout - and the first real boss is a huge difficulty spike. But it is a great game. Depends how into the genre you are already :)
Gears. Played a few different games like this, and gears strikes a good difficulty balance. Very enjoyable, but I played it on game pass PC so I didn't really pay for it.
I’m wild about the color used in this game! I’m always worried designers will go too grimdark with 40k stuff and everything will just be shades of brown.
The old game was actually incredibly colorful too! Look it up, it definitely still holds up in my opinion. Aside from the fact that it's nearly impossible to get running.
You are the only person I have seen this far to remember this game! (Original chaos gate)It is one of my absolute favorites and I have to keep a 99 laptop up and running to play😂😂🤣🤣
I love tactical turn based games, but I've always avoided Warhammer titles because the scope of the lore is so daunting. For someone with no knowledge of the Warhammer universe, could this game be a decent jumping in point, or will I not understand what's going on?
It should be no issue. For the Grey knights the essentials are pretty simple. Tldr they are basically a black ops space marine chapter that was created in secret with psychic powers with the goal of hunting demons.
Grimmdark but quite colorful and Damm, is so nice to see space marines in action with modern graphics, reading several books make wish see a good game of the space marines, I played a run of xcom wotc with a lot of mods to create the closest thing to spaces marines and simulate the 40k settings but no more since we got this great game, which is surprisingly good looking and fun to play, is there's a thing I would complain is how stupid the difficulty, like xcom leve of bullshit, play and you know what I mean and how limited is the customization which is quite limited but aside from that, I'm having a blast, good game from a quite small team with almost no budge to make it (fucking GW don't feel like giving money to make good Damm games) and papa nurgle bless yall
I like the gameplay and map navigations. I haven't run into any bugs yet which is fantastic, especially in this day and age! The only issues I have with this game are the sound effects for the weapons (dont seem as impactful or strong) and the big one for me, Grey knights armor being shit. GK Terminator gives base two shields which a fucking autogun tears through, but a normal plague marine gets 3? Also why the hell are auto guns hurting GK? They all technically wear artificer power armor so they shouldn't even get hurt. And since it is power armor it should at least get some defense ratings to begin with. How is power armor just like a chaos cultist clothes? Pretty dumb mistake IMO.
well, if you make the terminators as strong as the lore, the game would be unplayable... is that really so hard to understand? no, its not a mistake. As a wh40k nerd it hurts me too, i understand that.
@@konradcurze1278 No it wouldn't it would just be a rebalance of enemies purpose and damage. You'd be fighting enemies with equal threat rather than cultists. Cultists should be used to screen and tarpit your forces from reaching objectives. They shouldn't act as damaging unit, those should be the nurgle demons or plague marines. It doesn't make it unplayable. Developers either got lazy, no funding, or didn't think or design units with their proper purposes.
The game gets very repetitive. You're fighting mostly the same enemies (nurgle) in maps that look mostly the same (imperial ruins). It's a hard game, for me, to sit down and play for 3+ hours. I keep setting it down and coming back to it later.
I have a love and hate relationship with Warhammer , I love the lore of warhammer and i consider it one of the best i've ever know , what i hated it the most is Games Workshop . They have a really great product but for some reason they kept giving us a shitty warhammer games. i'm not saying this is shit is , it is way better than battlesector by a mile but majority of it is mediocre.
@@ShadowsofRlyeh OMG just imagine it is insane . imo Relic is the only Dev that produce a good WH40k games i've ever played . Totalwar was alright , Space Marine was fun but gets stale after couple hundred hours of online comp.
My review of "Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters" Don't waste time buying this game. You will NEVER see anyone actually finish the game, not even at the lowest setting. Show me the actual ending of a gameplay video. Even a screenshot will do. YOU WON'T FIND IT !!! (1) EVEN AT THE LOWEST DIFFICULT SETTING THE GAME IS NOT WELL-BALANCED (ask the game designers to finish it, they can't. They don't have a clue how to) THE STRATEGIC MAP is nasty and hopeless at the lowest setting TACTICAL MAPs with the 'must-do key missions' with five corruptions map is just stupid even at the lowest setting. (2) RANDOM INITIAL CORE ABILITIES ASSIGNMENT is totally wrong. In conclusion, I strongly suggest you save your money for a different game.
Game play sucks if it where me I’d developa game worthy of the grey knights. It would be a hack and slash no holds barred deamon slaying bonanza like devil mag cray. That just me alas we could dream
So tired of modern xcom clones. The xcom reboot was great but a little over simplified imo. I'd much rather see old style xcom with updated graphics and some cover mechanics. Why must every game be a copy can't people think for themselves anymore?
You can just play games like Xenonauts if you want a more "old-school" X-Com experience. Or you know, play Julian Gollop's Phoenix Point (which also practically takes most of its queues from XCOM: Enemy Unknown). Also, you ask "why must every game be a copy" when that's essentially how most video games are made: everyone iterates and eventually improves on old concepts and ideas. Unless you're plagiarizing or just lifting a game off without your own spin, being based off another game is natural in this business. Besides, what's wrong with having more of a kind of game that people enjoy? You may prefer the old style X-Com, but me and a lot of others like the new XCOM style, and want to see more of it in games, from Battletech to Gears Tactics.
Man this looks booooring and for the money they want for the game players deserve better. Another Warhammer game I won't touch untill it is wayyyyyy cheaper.
Put in a little over 4 hours and steam won't let me refund it sadly. I've played lots of Xcom, probably a couple hundred hours, played gears tactics to completion and other titles like this. This game however feels like xcom end game difficulty right at the start. It's just not fun. I had more fun dying to Malenia in ER than this. Troop gets hit once for minor damage? Out for two weeks. Gets hit twice? Well you're not seeing him on the field in full strength ever again. Before I quit I was fielding all wounded troops. I guess the game will rot in my steam library...
As someone who's played the XCOM games multiple times (including Chimera Squad), and also played Gears Tactics, you're just not playing the game well methinks if you're taking that much damage. Once I learned the game and did a second campaign after losing the strategy layer on the first, the game felt so much easier to the point where I can clear all the early game missions with nary a scratch. Also, you can still field wounded soldiers out in the field, so if need be you can just take them out to do missions.
@@Fextralife Yes... I cant even understand why someone doesn't pick that flag up and carry it, It would be an immediate preorder and I dont preorder anything.
a tiny bit of cringe I had to point out (because I'm a pedantic dick) ... I don't even play warhammer and I know it's generally called "40K" not "forty thousand"... and also, just some basic pronunciation, it's not a "Jenna seed" it's a "gene seed" ... like evolution genes, the basic genes that determine their physical characteristics ... not the supplies your friend's girlfriend just got at the garden centre.
@@griffinmckenzie7203 ya I know obviously lol ... "K" is just short hand for "1000". But in this case I've never heard anyone call it "forty thousand". It's always shortened and referred to as "forty kay". Saying "forty thousand" is not technically wrong, but he's not contextually right either.
@@fistimusmaximus6576 I don't give a flying F... Pretty sure Total War made a good use of the lore that existed before the "Age of Shitmar".. So yeah... i need more of that..

I've been loving this game! Ton of fun. I love the wh40k world, and it's cool to have a really great game set there.

For me, Epic Games is only good for claiming free games.
Nice review 😉
Yes. The answer is yes.
This game looks so fucking cool
I've never heard anyone pronounce gene-seed that way.
Can you have dreadnought in this?
this looks very very good!
The game gets very repetitive. You're fighting mostly the same enemies (nurgle) in maps that look mostly the same (imperial ruins). It's a hard game, for me, to sit down and play for 3+ hours. I keep setting it down and coming back to it later.
Nurgle the god of disease and love
sorry for asking but is there no female knight in the game? a playable female character at least maybe?
I might have picked this up but damn that ui is terrible.
The UI is definitely rough. Reminds me of the first Chaos Gate lol
I have a love and hate relationship with Warhammer , I love the lore of warhammer and i consider it one of the best i've ever know , what i hated it the most is Games Workshop . They have a really great product but for some reason they kept giving us a shitty warhammer games. i'm not saying this is shit is , it is way better than battlesector by a mile but majority of it is mediocre.
this is so true, the games they've put out is basically a disservice to the Warhammer lore
@@ShadowsofRlyeh OMG just imagine it is insane . imo Relic is the only Dev that produce a good WH40k games i've ever played . Totalwar was alright , Space Marine was fun but gets stale after couple hundred hours of online comp.
@@Blockdigit I just wish some AAA company ( NOT EA) would buy the ip and makes it.
Love your videos. I can help with Latin if you make more on this😂😂😂. Love you brother, no offense makes better
its good but i just lose so far
Sound design is laughable in this game. Yet another time when bolters sound like suppressed glocks
Oh shhhht wtf is this ??????? :P This looks like a nice little gem I've never heard of.
Fyi, it's okay to just say 40K instead of 40,000. Lol
My review of "Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters"
Don't waste time buying this game.
You will NEVER see anyone actually finish the game, not even at the lowest setting.
Show me the actual ending of a gameplay video.
Even a screenshot will do. YOU WON'T FIND IT !!!
(1) EVEN AT THE LOWEST DIFFICULT SETTING
THE GAME IS NOT WELL-BALANCED
(ask the game designers to finish it, they can't. They don't have a clue how to)
THE STRATEGIC MAP is nasty and hopeless at the lowest setting
TACTICAL MAPs with the 'must-do key missions' with five corruptions map is just stupid even at the lowest setting.
(2) RANDOM INITIAL CORE ABILITIES ASSIGNMENT is totally wrong.
In conclusion, I strongly suggest you save your money for a different game.
gene seed. pronounced like jean-seed.
is this larian made game
Game play sucks if it where me I’d developa game worthy of the grey knights. It would be a hack and slash no holds barred deamon slaying bonanza like devil mag cray. That just me alas we could dream
only pc... sad.
"jenner-seed"
lol ok, so you have no idea what you're talkiing about. "Gene" rhymes with, you know, "jean".
So tired of modern xcom clones. The xcom reboot was great but a little over simplified imo. I'd much rather see old style xcom with updated graphics and some cover mechanics. Why must every game be a copy can't people think for themselves anymore?
You can just play games like Xenonauts if you want a more "old-school" X-Com experience. Or you know, play Julian Gollop's Phoenix Point (which also practically takes most of its queues from XCOM: Enemy Unknown).
Also, you ask "why must every game be a copy" when that's essentially how most video games are made: everyone iterates and eventually improves on old concepts and ideas. Unless you're plagiarizing or just lifting a game off without your own spin, being based off another game is natural in this business. Besides, what's wrong with having more of a kind of game that people enjoy? You may prefer the old style X-Com, but me and a lot of others like the new XCOM style, and want to see more of it in games, from Battletech to Gears Tactics.
Man this looks booooring and for the money they want for the game players deserve better. Another Warhammer game I won't touch untill it is wayyyyyy cheaper.
as a huge 40k fan I just can't get over the cartoon artstyle, makes this so difficult to buy for me
Epic is EVIL! Sorry will be getting on steam.
What did I miss?
@@F4M3Resistance just a bunch of fanboys.
@@fmalch1209 Alright, thought they did/said sth dumb officially. Well thanks man.
Epic sucks

So lame it's pc only.
Put in a little over 4 hours and steam won't let me refund it sadly. I've played lots of Xcom, probably a couple hundred hours, played gears tactics to completion and other titles like this. This game however feels like xcom end game difficulty right at the start. It's just not fun. I had more fun dying to Malenia in ER than this. Troop gets hit once for minor damage? Out for two weeks. Gets hit twice? Well you're not seeing him on the field in full strength ever again. Before I quit I was fielding all wounded troops. I guess the game will rot in my steam library...
As someone who's played the XCOM games multiple times (including Chimera Squad), and also played Gears Tactics, you're just not playing the game well methinks if you're taking that much damage. Once I learned the game and did a second campaign after losing the strategy layer on the first, the game felt so much easier to the point where I can clear all the early game missions with nary a scratch. Also, you can still field wounded soldiers out in the field, so if need be you can just take them out to do missions.
I love the WH40K lore but all the games are Turn based and I don't find them fun. I prefer Real time Strategy or Space Marine type gameplay.
I'd kill for another good Dawn of War game...
Blood for the Blood Gods.
@@jareddmunoz Skull For the Skull Throne
@@Fextralife Yes... I cant even understand why someone doesn't pick that flag up and carry it, It would be an immediate preorder and I dont preorder anything.
a tiny bit of cringe I had to point out (because I'm a pedantic dick) ... I don't even play warhammer and I know it's generally called "40K" not "forty thousand"... and also, just some basic pronunciation, it's not a "Jenna seed" it's a "gene seed" ... like evolution genes, the basic genes that determine their physical characteristics ... not the supplies your friend's girlfriend just got at the garden centre.
Not saying you're wrong, but what the fuck do you think the "K" in "40K" stands for?
@@griffinmckenzie7203 ya I know obviously lol ... "K" is just short hand for "1000". But in this case I've never heard anyone call it "forty thousand". It's always shortened and referred to as "forty kay". Saying "forty thousand" is not technically wrong, but he's not contextually right either.
1 hit, 1 miss. 40k stands for 40.000, cmon.
@@Tentacl ... right ... obviously ... but again, as I said, no one SAYS "forty thousand" ... they SAY "forty kay"
Holy fuck you're a dick...
Epic games LOOOL. never again.
Ok
I guess Epic gave you cancer, but okay.
EPIC BAD
It's 40k so it's a nope from me.. I am only interested in Fantasy Warhammer...
that is dead, all that lore erased.
@@fistimusmaximus6576 I don't give a flying F... Pretty sure Total War made a good use of the lore that existed before the "Age of Shitmar"..
So yeah... i need more of that..
@@NickStrife lol I feel the same. I played original fantasy since 1st edition. Lot of history and lore.
