Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is the new real-time strategy game adapted from Games Workshop’s famous tabletop game that portrays the epic space battles of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
Developed by Tindalos Interactive · Published by Focus Entertainment









Set amid the Warhammer 40,000 galaxy’s wars, the game puts you in command of space fleets. Its campaigns follow the Imperium, Necrons, and Tyranids, with additional factions available across the game.
In real-time battles, position ships, manage their abilities, and direct attacks with weapons such as broadsides and torpedoes. Each faction fields distinct ships and combat styles, and you can customize fleets and ships.
Between battles, manage fleets and systems across a strategic campaign map, taking sectors and responding to enemy activity. The game also includes multiplayer modes, including cooperative play.
In this review sample, players who enjoy the game most often praise its tactical fleet battles, the spectacle and atmosphere of its Warhammer setting, and the variety between factions and campaigns. Some also value its visuals and music. These positives are frequently tempered by reports of crashes or launch failures, often involving Easy Anti-Cheat, and by complaints that campaigns become repetitive or overly demanding.

| Multiplayer | The store page lists Online PvP, Online Co-op, Cross-Platform Multiplayer, and co-op-related tags including Co-op Campaign and Online Co-Op. Reviews consistently confirm a cooperative campaign playable with a friend and versus multiplayer, with repeated comments that matchmaking is sparse or effectively dead. Cross-platform play between Steam, GOG, and Windows Store is explicitly stated. |
| Multiplayer & mods | Reviews state mods can still be used for multiplayer against friends, including launching with -NoEAC. No evidence is provided that mods are supported in ranked matchmaking; one review mentions strict anti-cheat around ranked PvP. |
