Set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, the game casts you as a commander of Space Marines or Orks. Its campaign follows Captain Dracomedes and the Sons of Sanguinius fighting for Hethgar Prime.
Battles use chess-like movement and turn-taking, with two modes: Classic chess and Regicide. In Regicide, combat adds attacks, tactical abilities, and psychic powers to the board-game framework.
Play a 50-mission single-player campaign, skirmishes against AI with five difficulty settings, or multiplayer in local and online formats. Campaign and other play can unlock models, while Chapters and Clans and ability loadouts let you shape your force.
Supplied reviews often enjoy the idea of combining chess with Warhammer 40,000, and some praise its presentation and animations. Others criticize random combat outcomes and balance, while several report that online services or access problems make parts or all of the game unavailable.
