Sanctus Reach 1

Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach is now available on PC via Steam!

We first reported on this game way back in August of 2016. Now the time has come and Sanctus Reach is out today. To go along with the release, the developer has put together some tutorial videos. If you’re interested in picking this one up I suggest taking a look to get a feel for how the game play actually is:

This game visually looks like it’s taken straight from the tabletop. All of the models are pretty accurate to their counterparts in the physical realm. Even the buildings and other bits of terrain look like they are based on Games Workshop’s physical kits.

The game play rules are obviously different than what you’d expect but Slitherine is a veteran studio of the 40k IP. Their previous game(s) include Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon and all those expansions. If you enjoyed that franchise you’ll probably like this one too.

“Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach brings you to a dark era of carnage and endless war. There is no peace among the stars: the Imperium of Man is beset on all sides by all kinds of threats. Among them is the Orks, a barbaric and warlike xeno race. One of their fiercest leaders, Grukk Face-Rippa, leads his Red Waaagh! in the Sanctus Reach system. Worlds after worlds fall to billions of Orks, until only one last planet resists the green tide: the Knight World of Alaric Prime. This is where a brave company of Space Wolves makes its stand to defend the last bastion of mankind in the system…”

Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach is a 3D turn-based strategy game like you’ve never seen before: fast, immediate, deep, impressive to look at and incredibly fun! Lead the Space Wolves in their struggle against the Orks through two uncompromising and long story-driven campaigns: Stormclaw and Hour of the Wolf. Command several dozen different authentically crafted units and heroes, with unique and extremely detailed 3D models that bring the universe of Warhammer 40,000 to life.

The gameplay is rich and varied: spend your points, make your list, choose your deployment, and fight! Units at your disposal have different abilities, strengths and weaknesses, can level up and are carried over between scenarios. Choose among many different types of weapons, watch your flanks and make a wise use of the terrain: any tactical choice will be vital.

With a campaign system, a skirmish mode, a map generator and multiplayer PBEM++ support the game offers endless replaybility.

Features:

• Lead either the Space Wolves Space Marines in the campaign or the green tide of the Orks in skirmish battles!
