    • “The graphics are amazing, the controls are simple and you get to kill greenskins!”
    • “Apart from this, whilst the graphics are dated and, after a while, the gameplay gets very samey, this game is still very enjoyable.”
    • “The graphics for knights and the large enemies aren't terrible, but the graphics for infantry are so bad.”
    • “Graphics are mediocre at best.”
  • story
    487 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its immersive narrative and connection to the Warhammer 40,000 universe. However, issues such as repetitive missions, bugs that hinder progress, and a grind-heavy upgrade system detract from the overall experience.

    • “The storyline is really great for each map, making the game much more complex.”
    • “The story is gripping and keeps you hooked from start to finish.”
    • “This game is incredible with story and combat.”
    • “I've played this over the past four or so days but have found some issues that detract from enjoying myself out of sheer frustration. The worst part is that all of my issues with the game come from the quest end of this game, which unfortunately becomes a big problem when three quests are broken without a clear way to resolve the issue or notify the dev team.”
    • “The game is really quite repetitive; the missions nearly all look and play the exact same, and yet they still make up excuses to replay missions you've already finished.”
    • “You are locked into specific loadouts for missions, which sucks, and they give up on the story quickly and then it gets bogged down trying to get upgrades and keep playing.”
  • gameplay
    444 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its fun and engaging mechanics, smooth controls, and impressive graphics.

    • “The gameplay is great and the concept is amazing.”

    199 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, including unskippable ones that disrupt gameplay. While some users appreciate the option for in-app purchases, they feel that the aggressive monetization strategy, including high prices for microtransactions and forced ads, detracts significantly from the overall experience.

    • “Really fun concept surrounded by monetization.”
    • “Engaging story, fun on-rails shooter gameplay, non-predatory monetization, mechanics catering towards free-to-players.”

    • “The game and concept are great, but I have no desire to have a game where I spend more time watching ads than playing the actual game.”
    • “I would pay $5 immediately for an option to disable all ads.”
    • “The amount of ads you must watch in order to win a mission is just simply terrible.”
  • stability
    70 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant concern, with numerous players reporting frequent freezes, particularly during multiplayer sessions and specific missions. While some users have experienced minimal glitches, many others find the game unplayable due to issues like freezing during critical gameplay moments, unresponsive controls, and problems with claiming rewards. Overall, the game is described as enjoyable but plagued by bugs that detract from the experience.

    • “No glitches or anything to complain about.”
    • “This game looks and runs great.”

    • “The game freezes if you try to play multiplayer; the only way to back out is to close the game.”
    • “It's buggy and they don't care.”
    • “The multiplayer element is very buggy as it loads for hours and I never get any valor.”
  • grinding
    45 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience.

    • “Leveling isn't too grindy at first, which makes the early game enjoyable and accessible.”
    • “One of the most tedious and grindy games I've ever played on my phone.”
    • “Grinding out the medals/stars or whatever to beat the main campaign without spending money takes about 60 hours of gameplay.”
