A strategy game from Creative Assembly, set in a science fiction universe created by Games Workshop. Total War: Warhammer 40,000 follows a proven formula from the studio's other productions, allowing us to conquer the galaxy at the head of one of four factions.
The Creative Assembly studio is mainly known for its extensive strategy games. In the early years of its operation, the team specialized in historical games, but in 2016, it expanded its interests to include the fantasy world of Warhammer. Nine years later, the developers officially confirmed that they are once again expanding the scope of their activities, this time into the realm of science fiction, by announcing the game Total War: Warhammer 40,000.
Despite the new futuristic setting, Total War: Warhammer 40,000 remains largely faithful to the principles developed for previous productions under this banner. The gameplay unfolds on two levels – strategic, on a large scale, and tactical, focusing on the battles we engage in.
The base version of the game includes four factions: Space Marines, Astra Militarum, Orks, and Eldar. Each of them has a unique set of units, individual strengths and weaknesses, and most importantly – its own style of gameplay. Both fans of precise operations and commanders who emphasize aggressive, barbaric actions will find something for themselves here.
Creative Assembly's work provides us with a vast galaxy, which becomes the field of our activities. The decisions we make not only determine the fate of our faction but also influence the shape of its entire cosmic environment.
Thanks to the strategic layer, all matters related to managing our empire rest on our shoulders. We make decisions regarding the war economy, recruit troops, upgrade our fleet, and issue orders for attack and defense.
When battles occur, the gameplay shifts to the battlefields, and we take direct control of our troops, commanding them in real-time. Our success on the battlefield is determined not only by the size and advancement of the army but also by factors such as utilizing the terrain (which is subject to deformation).
We deploy both infantry and war machines. Additionally, powerful strategic abilities await testing (such as orbital bombardment or erasing an entire planet with apocalyptic weapons). Their proper use can secure us victory.
Total War: Warhammer 40,000 allows us to create our own army, deciding on the faction's title, heraldry, iconography, and weaponry. Moreover, we can adapt its features to our tactics.
