Evaluation

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada launched on April 21, 2016 as an RTS adaptation of the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game. At launch, the developer committed to a post-release content roadmap that included two faction DLCs: Space Marines (released June 21, 2016) and the Tau Empire (released September 29, 2016). Both DLCs were delivered as promised. The developer also shipped several feature patches throughout 2016, culminating in Update 1.8 on November 24, 2016, which added the Fleet Colour System and further bug fixes. All three items in the DLC list — Space Marines, Tau Empire, and the Soundtrack — are fully released. No unreleased DLC is listed on the store. The developer's roadmap commitments from the April 29, 2016 post were fully fulfilled by late 2016. On January 24, 2018, the developer announced that development focus had shifted entirely to Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2, a full sequel. No further content for the original game has been announced or released since November 2016. The sequel announcement confirms that active development on this first game had concluded. The last known update to the game itself was the November 24, 2016 patch. This game launched as a finished product with a defined post-launch content plan that was fully delivered. With no unreleased DLC, no outstanding commitments, and the developer having publicly moved on to a sequel, the game's content is complete.

About this game

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada is the RTS videogame adaptation of Games Workshop’s classic tabletop game, pitting the Chaos, Imperium, Eldar, and Orks against each other in visceral space-battles.

Developed with Unreal Engine 4, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada offers deep management of every ship composing the player’s fleet, both during and between battles. From the fastest frigates to the gigantic, miles-long battleships, the player will customize all aspects of his ships: weaponry, defense and support sub-systems, but also crew, captains, and more... each customization affecting the very performances of the ship and the special abilities available during battle. From battle to battle, the admirals and crew of surviving ships will gain experience and promotions, improving the battle-readiness of the ships for future, bigger and more dangerous battles.

Additionally an extensive multiplayer mode with persistent fleets where up to 4 players can battle simultaneously, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada also features a big story campaign, taking place during the 12th Black Crusade and putting players in the middle of the Gothic War that raged between the Imperium and Abaddon the Despoiler. Players will be at the centre of every fight, commanding fleets of gigantic ships as the Chaos unleash a sequential chain of surprise attacks on Imperium worlds – the start of 20 years of warring in the sector.

  • An expansive single-player campaign across the Gothic sector.

  • Four factions to command, each one with its own strengths and skills.

  • Tactical PVP multiplayer offering infinite replayability.

  • A huge array of authentically recreated Battlefleet Gothic ships.

  • A real-time strategy experience retaining many of the tactical Battlefleet Gothic elements.

  • A plethora of lore-abiding skills to fill the player’s arsenal.

  • Upgrade and apply skills at port Maw
