Gameplay

Players can play as one of four chapters of Space Marines or their opponents, grotesque aliens known as Genestealers who come in four different factions. The game has two single-player campaigns, one you play as Blood Angels, the other as the Genestealers, along with competitive PvP multiplayer and a skirmish mode. A map builder allows players to create their own maps and scenarios to share with others. It is a turn-based tactics game and has elements of deck-building games. For example, players can use cards to give bonuses to their characters or refresh action points.

Reception
