Hitting enemy with melee weapon or bolter just feels good and that's something games like Gears Of War haven't managed to get right. The story is told in small pieces so that it doesn't cut the flow of the game. Worth trying! Brutal, gritty and weighty, it's definitely recommended for fans of third person shooter fans or Warhammer 40K fans. Solid gameplay too. Multi-player's dead, though. While the game doesn't try to be original with its gameplay, it's the first time this genre is matched with the 40K lore and it's great.
The first level is all brown and looks gross. Then you get a jet-pack for a minute, and quickly have to discard it. All the fun stuff comes later. Actually, skip the campaign and play online. Just a few matches will net enough experience to get a jet-pack all the time, and swoop in on other players and kill them for fun.
Try it, you might like it. This was one of those games I bought for the Winter Steam Achievements, and will be continuing to play afterwards.
In fact, I already purchased the DLC for it -- and I've only played the multiplayer portion of the game so far. If you are into gears or 3rd person shooters, this game is for you.
Don't worry if you're not familiar with the Warhammer universe - I'm not, but the story is presented in such a way that I had no trouble following it and understanding what was going on. Very good voice acting and graphics, and gloriously brutal combat - especially when it gets up close and personal. It did suffer from a few poorly designed sections, though. In one instance you have to navigate a facility armed with a large number of automated turrets that will tear you to pieces in very short order.
You can't destroy the turrets until they're activated, and they don't fire at your companions - only you. It's very annoying. Also - and this might be a mild spoiler - the final battle consists of a quick-time fight. I'm not opposed to that in general, but this one goes on for far too long, doing the same things over and over again.
It got pretty boring. Overall, though, I was very pleased with the game and would like to see more. I really enjoyed this game. Hacking through orks with a chainsaw in one hand and a blaster in the other is very satisfying! The story is descent for an action game and the main character likable.
However the gameplay is a bit repetitive, it could have been improved. Same for the level design. The graphics are great. It uses the same engine as Darksiders I believe.
The combat is just so satisfying. Orks' heads constantly exploding around you. Ripping those green little bastards limb from limb. Sticking a chainsword through their open maw, up through their skull until the whole thing explodes in a fountain of gore. The only issues I have with the game is how repetitive it is. It basically always boils down to clearing out a room of orks, running through a few empty corridors, and then clearing out the next room.
I would have liked a little more variety in combat scenarios, and maybe a little more clutter in the environments as too make things look a bit more realistic. Also, the only way to regain health in this game is to use an execution move on an enemy.
This can be tough when you're at low health, and surrounded. Execution moves look incredible, but take a few seconds for the animation to play through. While this animation is playing, you are still vulnerable to incoming damage from enemies.
So if you let your health get too low, you'd be hard pressed to survive long enough to pull off an execution move and get some health back. These are all nitpicks though. Overall, the game is extremely satisfying. Sci-fi ultra-violence at its best.
If they ever decide to make a sequel, I'll be first on board. Considering how little I have heard of this game, I would consider it very under appreciated and knowing how cheaply you can guy this game, I highly recommend it if you're looking for a game to run through on a weekend.
Though the toughest enemies are bullet sponges, hard difficulty offers a good challenge without being absurdly laborious. This game's biggest weakness is it's repetitiveness. You enter a closed area designed pretty much like the previous one. Fight waves of enemies from a very limited pool of creatures. Reach a checkpoint where you can replenish ammo. Progress to the next area. And then repeat the gameplay loop until the next chapter. Publisher: SEGA.

Drogan informs Titus that he has designed an experimental weapon, the Psychic Scourge that could be used to completely wipe out the Orks, and Titus agrees that despite the risk of tearing the planet apart, they must proceed despite the danger.
Securing Imperial transports, they proceed onward to Drogan's lab at the Kalkys facility, where the weapon is located. After getting past security, Drogan tells him that the Power Source has to be inserted into the core, and that the Orks managed to cut the power to his machine. After solving both issues, Titus and his men watch as Drogan activates the weapon, which fires Warp energy at the Orbital Spire.
Titus and his men then prepare for the final showdown with Grimskull, but are instead interrupted by the arrival of scores of Bloodletter Daemons and eventually a mighty Chaos Sorcerer Lord named Nemeroth.
He quickly subdues both the Warboss and the Ultramarines, and Titus can only watch as Inquisitor Drogan submits himself to the sorcerer. Nemeroth takes the Inquisitor's life, informing Titus that Drogan was already dead, and was simply being used as a puppet by his servant in order to draw the Space Marines to the planet, using them as a tool to deliver the power source through the Orks and into Chaos hands, and makes intrigued remarks about Titus' ability to resist his dark powers.
Aiming to capture Drogan's Power Source for himself, Nemeroth is interrupted by the Ork Warboss once more, claiming he is hard to kill. The two begin combat and tumble over the railing into the abyss. Now aware of the weapons' true purpose - to open Warp portals all over the planet to allow Nemeroth to invade - Titus formulates a plan to destroy the Orbital Spire by supercharging the weaponry of the Warlord-class Titan named 'Invictus' at Manufactorum Ajakis.
His plan goes unchallenged, but direct concern over Titus's connection to the Warp unnerves Leandros, and it is not before being quickly silenced by Sidonus that he halts his concerns.
The three then travel back to the Manufactorum, destroying whatever enemies that get in the way while assisting the Imperial Guard and Lt.
Once in the Manufactorum, and whilst separated from his squadmates, Titus is drawn into a final battle with the Ork Warboss Grimskull, who claimed that no 'Humie' could conquer his might.
After a fierce battle, Titus executes Grimskull with a Plasma Pistol round to the head. After the death of the Warboss, Mira reports that the Ork horde has started to fall back, thus leaving only the Chaos forces to fight.
Powering up the mighty Titan, Titus protects it while it is moved into position, finally managing to launch a devastating strike to the Spire, which results in the closing of the Chaos Warp portal; however, Nemeroth and the portion of his army that made it through is still large enough to pose a threat. Requesting extraction via Leandros, Titus gives the Power Source to Sidonus, instructing him to make for the extraction point while he and Leandros hold off the Chaos forces.
Sidonus, however, is ambushed and killed by Nemeroth, who takes the Power Source and retreats back to his stronghold in the Orbital Spire. Titus, Leandros and Mira grieve for several moments over the fallen Sidonus, Titus instructing Leandros to turn his sadness into rage to be directed towards Chaos. Titus himself vows to kill the Sorcerer, and Mira advises him to use the resistance to the Warp to his advantage, killing Nemeroth before he has a chance to use the Power Source to transform himself into a Daemon Prince.
Titus then begins his quest to avenge his fallen friend, and battles the forces of Chaos with help from both elements of the newly arrived Blood Ravens Chapter and his Ultramarine brothers. Upon reaching the damaged Spire, Titus boards a Thunderhawk the same that brought him to Graia in the first place and enters the Spire via Jump Pack. Fighting his way to the top, he finally confronts Nemeroth, who insists that the connection to the Warp Titus has means that he is destined to serve Chaos.
Titus, however, angrily refuses all claims, and that his destiny is the way of honor in destroying the traitors once and for all. Nemeroth manages to partially ascend, but Titus uses his resistance to the Warp to directly assault Nemeroth, causing the two to fall towards the planet's surface at an alarming rate. As they plummet, the pair battle to the death, Titus using all of his skill and fury to engage the Chaos Daemon Prince in direct physical combat.
After a brutal struggle, Titus finally crushes Nemeroth's skull, killing the Sorcerer, before he rips the Power Source apart with his bare hands so that it can never be exploited again. Returning to the surface, Titus links up with his remaining Space Marines as well as Leandros and Lt. She assists Titus with his wounds, marveling in the realization that Space Marines truly are 'human'.
Titus merely responds: "More than you know".
