[wh40k] Picked up Chaos Gate: Daemonhunters. Initial impression is "XCOM but in the Warhammer universe"
GalacticBattler
You're playing the Grey Knights
GalacticBattler
so your tactical priorities are a little different from XCOM's
GalacticBattler
You don't lie in cover you kick down fucking doors
GalacticBattler
Other mechanics
GalacticBattler
- no misses ever. Cover and shit just reduces damage directly
GalacticBattler
- you have WP points (willpower) which is like MP but you can also use it to just slightly raise the damage of an attack
GalacticBattler
So if you aren’t QUITE hitting hard enough to finish a guy off you can decide to just hit a little harder
GalacticBattler
Premise of the game is that I am the provisional commander of a Grey Knight task force that just finished a big mission
GalacticBattler
The actual commander died at the end of that mission so I’m just standing in
GalacticBattler
Our ship is barely holding together, are ranks are badly depleted
GalacticBattler
We were GOING to just go back home for some r&r
GalacticBattler
But a passing Inquisitor was like “YOU”
GalacticBattler
“NURGLE IS UP TO SOME SHIT”
GalacticBattler
“IM COMMANDEERING YOUR FORCE”
GalacticBattler
And she can do that, apparently
