Starting with the bad;
1-LOADING SCREENS LOADING SCREENS LOADING SCREENS. you might not feel it at first, but I have a very fast high end SSD, 8k speed ram 14k intel cpu and the game does not instant load.
The developers could have made many zones, like every zone in the ship, loadingscreenless.
2-Is this on the newest unreal engine? because I could have swore at some moments I was getting bad lag, jitters, and oh, more loading screens? wait the game forces you to load screen into an area that you need to load screen OUT of this area(like captains quarters) and it does this very frequently?
3-Rolls values are garbage, many times at a 95% chance I have instead of hitting an enemy, veered off to hit an ally. SAVE AFTER EVERYROLL IF YOU WANT TO MIN/MAX.
(side note, i'm ok with some bad rolls, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is the game based on PURE luck, even down to engagements where anyone can go first)
4-Initiative means nothing. you can save before a fight and infinitely reload until you get the characters on your team to start the battle first. Sometimes an enemy or groups of enemys starting first in a fight means the difference between literally winning or not. prepare to waste your time with more loading screens.
5-because of everything stated above, RTS skill means very little, infact with enough bad luck your skill means absolutely nothing, game is a roll for luck to win, waste your time with loading screens.
6-I had to take a break from playing the game because I clicked an area next to a console and my character not only went the opposite way, but also put himself in danger of immediate death and doomed my entire encounter to a loss. because the game is RNG, I should have saved before I moved, obviously. what good game have I ever felt the need to constantly save, to combat really bad RNG? I cant remember the last good game to make me feel like I had to save before every single thought crosses my mind.

TLDR-Ending with the good;
Its like playing every other rts, xcom, divinity original sin, baldurs gate, pillars of eternity etc
Its not all just turn based with classes, there is also a turn based ship battle
You can upgrade your ship as much as you can your own gear
Leveling is not reduced to just 12, classes and abilities have much to choose from.
Story is not so bad, but its difficult to ♥♥♥♥ up a warhammer story as you have so much to choose from
You don't have to buy it for $50, you can wait for a 50% off steam sale and buy it for what its actually worth.
You get to read this review and save yourself the annoying headache of loading screens.
