Dear Slitherine:

1. This game isn't a "pro" or "tourney-competitive" game. No one is "Pro-MLG" at this title. Stop trying to make it a thing. It'll never happen. There are sub-200 gamers online. Stop trying to focus on impossible odds/ladders.

2. Your job is to provide a good campaign story, which Black Lab admirably achieved during the Blood Angels original campaign. This doesn't qualify. By mission 3, you are literally facing 6-1 odds against Burna Boys, Nobs and Choppas. Your units aren't stronger. They don't hit harder. They aren't tankier. They don't have any significant advantages. Enemies wipe entire squads leaving 1-3 survivors in an alpha strike while your hits often take 3-4 concerted squads to kill anything. This is at medium difficulty and it smacks of lousy game play.

3. This title doesn't accurately represent the universe, or the TT game in a remotely faithful fashion. You don't square off against an opponent that has 2 Choppas, 1 Shoota, 1 Nob, 2 Gretchin, against 1 squad of Sacresants and 2 Sister squads. And in TT, their saves are power-armored which means they're more tanky, not less. Save up 3v4.

4. Missions 2 and 3 are identical. Defend the rhino. But wait, now they've included all the same units, plus burnas and rokkits! Oh and FOUR Nob squads! You see? Game play!

Seriously. You released the game years ago with no co-op. You included two measly races with only about 10-15 units per side and charged FULL PRICE. You focused on a non-existent tourney scene despite having sub-100 players staring you in the face. Players begged for other campaigns. You instead spent FOUR years vomiting races for 15-16 dollars a pop. By the time any player gets all races, he has easily spent 200 dollars USD for a game that Dawn of War and other games like it did a better job realizing at a fraction of the price/time.

Now you drop a campaign with over-tuned difficulty, and you represent replaying the same mission over and over and over as game play?

Get a clue Slitherine. Seriously.

Not worth your time. There are better games that scratch this itch available. Hell, making Popsicle stick marines and playing with them like a 12 year old man child, trumps this car wreck.

6/10.
