“The gameplay offers a distinctive take on battlefield mechanics, reflecting the style and lore of Warhammer 40k, with ample scope for character development.”
“The shooting mechanics are engaging, providing a unique experience that enhances the overall gameplay.”
“Controls are really clunky and gameplay is generic and boring.”
“The shooting mechanics are alright, but third-person cover has always been something I have detested. Being able to see over walls while hidden behind them often leads to some unfair and one-sided gunfights.”
“Technical issues, poor shooting mechanics, and gameplay dumbed down to hack and slash.”
Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade Review
The game is an unfinished and sloppy mess. With the majority of balancing and tweaking yet to be done there are some questionable items in the game, such as the previous mentioned shield for the Space Marines which seems to be capable of blocking all projectiles fired towards it. The shooting mechanics are alright but third person cover has always been something I have detested, being able to see over walls whilst hidden behind it often leads to some unfair and one sided gunfights.

If Games Workshop is throwing Warhammer at every wall to see what sticks, Eternal Crusade is certainly one of the splatters that has the most promise. Games of this nature inevitably evolve over time, but at worst, we’ve got a really good shooter here. Just don’t expect it to walk you into the world properly. It wants you to shoot stuff.
70%Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade Review
Available on PC, coming soon to Xbox One and PS4Eternal Crusade, it must be said, is not what all of its buyers either wanted or expected. When announced there was much talk of a massive multiplayer online shooter; a game with real character development that might see you taking part in huge battles involving hundreds of players, like a Dark Sci-Fantasy Planetside with Space Marines and Orks. What we’ve got at launch is something smaller in scale, more akin to a third-person Battlefield with less sniping and more shock troops and melee combat. This is the first reason why some are disappointed.
