“I've been playing strategy games for 30 years and never one seen anything approaching how poor the strategy layer of this game is. The game is broken down into two parts, an RTS grid battle mode which is absolutely…”
“Absolutely amazing game. The campaign can get griny as feth but I love the ship-combat and the manouverability of the fleets. Amazing step up from Armada 1”
“I just finished my second campaign. This really is one of the best warhammer licenced games out there today next to Warhammer Total War. I'm looking forward to playing BGA3 in the horus heresy setting in the far future.”

“Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 absolutely nailed the unholy trinity of things I live for: gorgeous space visuals, real-time strategy that actually rewards thinking, and the gloriously over-the-top universe of Warhammer…”
“Great game, amazing space environment to play ✅”
“Worth it just to look at all the different ships from all the different races. Timing torpedos perfectly is also deeply satisfying.”

“Got it on sale for $4, wasn't even able to complete the tutorial without repeated crashes.”
“This game was $3 and it's one of the best Warhammer Genre games I've ever played... I've played them all.”
“I mean, I spent €3,84 on this game - it's MOST DEFINITELY worth the price. It's good; it may not be as smooth and modern as modern games but it reminds me of a lightweight, space version of early Total War games. Set…”

“I really liked this game back in the day, tried to replay it but it just freezes over and over and none of the fixes worked. Utterly disapointed with Focus for not keeping this game alive.”
“tried to start it half a dozen times but it wont go further than the opening cutscene of the tutorial before it crashes. seems like a few people are posting similar reviews, absolute waste of money”
“The game keeps crashing. Sometimes I can get through a battle, sometimes it'll crash and freeze my whole computer. It's very frustrating & it's clearly affecting a lot of people. I'm playing on a fairly new PC with AMD…”

“This is a great game but the first one was far superior imo. They play completely differently. The first game is like a small fleet rpg where you level up a smaller number of ships and i personally liked the feel of the…”
“Its good,but first game had better campaign”
“Game shows a lot of potential but is not in enough of a finished state for me to recommend it. Also no actual skirmish mode (like the one in the first game)”

“the game is good but unnecessarily difficult. I am currently playing it on the easiest setting and live battles are a nightmare if you don't have the right composition and the right amount of micro. I feel like the…”
“hard to learn but when you get used to controls and mechanics it is so much fun to play. just check some guides if you wanna understand the terms, features, ways to use your fleet in an effective way. game is not much…”

“Beware if you have a gaming computer, this game is incompatible with the newer graphics cards. I've tried it on 2 different machines and it simply crashes and closes shortly after boot up on both of them. I Googled the issue and it is apparently well known. Probably why it's…”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“While I'm going to mark the game as recommended, only to support the game as well as this series of games for the franchise to continue producing, I have to complain about how difficult it was just to get the game launched. Why Games Workshop? Why rely on an anti-cheat service…”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“Great game, loved it when I played it a few years ago. That being said, I cannot run it without EasyAntiCheat even for single player ( -NoEAC in the launch options does not seem to work anymore ), so I cannot recommend it. I just want to play the game by myself, offline. Hell,…”
