“I feel compelled to leave a review to balance out the new reviews that are more negative. This game is masterful. A good combination of XCOM and Gears Tactics. It is a challenging game, but certainly within reason. The…”
“I really enjoyed playing this one back in the game. Easily one of my favourite Turn Based Warhammer 40k games. Much fun. Proper difficult without being impossible or anything. An easy recommend.”
“Its not an easy game but it lots of fun and well HAMMER SMASH HERETIC”

“A fantastic game. True to the lore, beautiful designed and made. A true 40k masterpiece.”
“While I love everything about Warhammer 40k and everything how the game implemented the universe , there are some big issues I have with this game. The dub of all characters, graphics, aesthetics, sounds, everything is…”

“If you like Grey Knights, this is the Grey Knightyest of Grey Knight games. Boy howdy.”
“- Start playing - Do tutorial - See not so good looking guy - Realize he's actually goated - Start to actually like him - He dies - Hunt daemons Pretty fun turn based game”
“Its a bombastic 40k game!”

“This game suffer just one main issue: the balance was made by dumb developers who could not find a better way to make the game more challengin than make it stupidly difficult without any reason, just in some missions.…”
“Game difficulty outpaces you incredibly quickly, making it really save scuming feel like a must do. Just not fun”
“This might be the most poorly balanced game I've ever seen in my life. And it's a single-player only game, so you better believe this is quite an achievement.”

“This was a pretty good game on launch. But the addition of the defend servitors missions is just plain awful! They are so unbelievably dull, and the game is clearly not designed to deal with them. I accidentally clicked…”
“It's not an awful game, it's just not good for what it is. As another review said, it takes the worst elements of XCOM and Rogue Trader and combines them. A word of advice: Be prepared to lose marines.”
“I find this game as a lot of anti-fun designed into it. Everything has a negative to it - you can't use abilities without spawning more enemies. Your weapons seemingly do next to nothing to the enemies you fight. You…”

“Really wanted to enjoy this game. I am not a huge Warhammer fan, but I appreciate the lore. The first few missions felt fine, then I took a break and came back later. That is when things started to fall apart. The…”
“Jesus. I'm a huge warhammer nerd, and there's a lot I can tolerate before the rope begins to tug. But, my lord. This game I couldn't withstand. It's like a garbage heap of all the things that XCOM could do wrong. I…”
“[h1]WH4K: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters[/h1] I'm not a big Warhammer 40K fan and while I don't love this title, it's a pretty decent game if you can see past the limitations and a few self-inflicted wounds. If you read…”

“I'm at a loss for words on this one... I was really liking it until now, but I'm in a position in my game where there's literally no way to proceed forward. I HAVE to go to a previous save like 20 hours ago in my 59…”
“I really tried getting into this game, but it is so frustrating that I cannot recommend it. Chaos Gate - Daemon hunters is an X-Com style game in a Warhammer 40K setting. This is a combination that should sell like hot…”
“I rate this game a 7/10. It has several issues, gamebreaking bugs, etc. but IMO the worst part is how enemies are mega tanky and damage can't be avoided anyhow. A plant enemy with 50hp will hit enemies at 15 tile range…”

“Didn't like it much at first, ended up loving it by the end. One of the better 40k tactics games out there, in my opinion.”
— a player, Steam review · 200 hrs played“I didn't truly bounce off this tactics game (unlike "Miasma Chronicles,") but I did get stymied somewhere in the middle. Which is a shame, because I ended up appreciating the cartoony visual style and highly entertaining sound design. Or at least, one part of it. The Space…”
— a player, Steam review · 13 hrs played“I should love Chaos Gate and I'm ploughing on with it until something else grabs my attention, but I can't honestly recommend it. Imagine if XCOM and Rogue Trader had a baby that got the worst bits of both - that's Chaos Gate. Never have I missed XCOM's random number generator…”
