You play as Lieutenant Demetrian Titus, an Ultramarine reinstated to his chapter, fighting Tyranids and Chaos forces across distant planets. The campaign can be played alone or with other players.
Combat combines third-person shooting with close-quarters attacks, dodges, parries, and executions. You face large enemy groups and use weapons and abilities to push through their assaults.
Beyond the campaign, co-op Operations and Siege pit teams against AI enemies, while Eternal War offers competitive multiplayer. Seven classes, weapon upgrades, class perks, and armor and weapon cosmetics provide ways to develop and customize your Space Marine.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the forceful gun-and-melee combat, executions, and the spectacle of fighting huge enemy swarms. They also praise the Warhammer 40,000 atmosphere and the chance to tackle co-op missions with friends. Some reviews, however, find the campaign short and repeated missions or progression grinds tiring.
