The game's story is characterized as short, simple, and humorous, revolving around an orc's quest to retrieve his stolen hair scrunchee from a warboss. While the narrative effectively captures the comedic essence of orc culture in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, many players feel that its brevity—typically lasting around 3-4 hours—limits replayability and overall value. Despite its simplicity, the story is praised for its entertaining dialogue and engaging characterizations, making it a fun experience for fans of the genre.
- “The story is well written and the visuals look fantastic.”
- “The story is simple, you want your wig back from the guy who shoved you out of a plane, along the way you'll kill the imperial guard, gene stealer cultist/tyranids, the baby crocodile you flushed when you were 6, space marines, and orks who look at you funny.”
- “The story is sufficiently orky and mildly silly (a nice change of pace for 40k games) but still feels appropriate.”
- “The only negative thing I can say is the story is a bit short for me.”
- “However, the actual story mode of the game only lasts about 3-4 hours and while yes there is multiplayer and coop it is quite buggy and doesn't always work out.”
- “If you have no intentions of playing the versus mode, the story mode is way too short to be worth 20€.”

I bought it because it was on sale and I'm a completionist 40k collector, but have been delightfully surprised by the style, variety in weapons, myriad of enemy types, easter eggs, and fun references to the lore, as well as its challenging (not tedious) and fun gameplay.”

While some find the gameplay enjoyable, the persistent technical problems lead to a general recommendation to wait for fixes or purchase on sale.

For those who enjoy multiplayer or co-op play, there may be more incentive to revisit, but the general consensus suggests that the game could benefit from additional content to enhance its replayability.

- “The campaign is short but has a lot of replay value with the achievements and different classes to choose from.”
- “Replayability is next to null and rapidly oscillates between too hard and too easy with not much in the way of in-between or skill involved.”
- “The game is also tremendously short, no more than 4-5 hours and there is no replayability or strange unlocks.”
- “While it has good gameplay and a very Waaagh story, it is also incredibly short and has little to almost no replayability.”
