Others will have you take on Abaddon’s lieutenants, each with their own “specialty” (such as a plague ship or corrupted Slaaneshi rock formations that stun your craft). Some task you with boarding an Eldar vessel to forge an alliance with Yvraine (complete with a trippy dream-like state). While a majority of the game’s battles are random skirmishes with other forces (which you can auto-resolve with random results each time), you’ll also have dozens of scripted missions. There were a number of issues, including unavoidable crashes, which I’ll detail below. Both were works-in-progress as of this writing. The press version has all three campaigns playable past the initial sector, minus the multiplayer. The game/beta 2 only has the prologue and starting sectors for a couple of campaigns, although it does have multiplayer. The other is for the press/review version. One for the game itself which had its public beta 2 playable by those who pre-ordered. Sadly, it also has some glaring flaws.įull Disclosure: We were provided with two review codes. Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is ambitious, massive, and a treat for long-time Warhammer 40K fans. It’s also based on a Games Workshop board game that’s an off-shoot of Warhammer 40,000 or Warhammer 40K. It is the sequel to Tindalos Interactive’s pausable real-time naval warfare strategy game in space (that’s a mouthful even Tyranids would have a hard time chewing on). Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 provides plenty of opportunities for both. Those screams, however, can be a sign of jubilation or just sheer frustration.
