However, the faster pace and several of its mechanics make the battles closer to the underrated Gears Tactics. If you like the juggling-many-plates-style metagame of XCOM, it's pretty much guaranteed that you'll enjoy Daemonhunters. There have been other XCOM-style turn-based tactics titles set in this universe, including the excellent Mechanicus, but this latest one is a challenger for the top spot.

There was a lot of anticipation around the awkwardly titled Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters, but does it live up to the pre-release hype? Yes, yes it does.ĭeamonhunters deserves a place among the top five games to carry the Warhammer name. There are a lot of PC games out there that carry the Warhammer name, and while the franchise can boast brilliance such as Dawn of War 1 & 2 and Space Marine, there's also absolute garbage like Dawn of War 3 and Fire Warrior.
