  • Sound Design: The audio elements, including battle cries and sound effects, create an epic atmosphere that enhances immersion.
  • Tactical Depth: Players appreciate the strategic complexity and tactical choices available, with terrain affecting gameplay significantly and each unit having distinct strengths and weaknesses.
  • User-Friendly Saving Mechanism: Players can save or load at any time during missions without penalties, allowing for experimentation with different strategies.
  • Expansion Content: The three expansion packs add substantial content, enriching the gameplay experience with new campaigns, units, and battlefields.
  • Close to Tabletop Experience: Many users find it to be one of the best digital translations of the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game, offering a satisfying tactical wargaming experience.

The main cons of the game

  • Launcher Issues: The game includes a launcher that users find unnecessary and frustrating, as it serves primarily as an advertisement platform.
  • Multiplayer Limitations: The multiplayer mode has very few players online, and requires a third-party account, which detracts from the experience.
  • Technical Problems: Users report occasional crashes when loading save files and bugs related to unit upgrades.
  • Repetitive Music: The in-game music is limited to a single track that becomes repetitive over time.
  • Lack of Clear Instructions: Some mechanics are not well explained, leading to confusion and a steep learning curve for new players.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • More Comprehensive Storytelling: The plot is minimal and primarily consists of flavor text, leaving players wanting a deeper narrative experience.
  • Improved Technical Performance: Users desire better performance options, including the ability to adjust frame rates directly from the game menu.
  • Enhanced Tutorial or Guidance: Players suggest that clearer instructions or tooltips would improve the learning experience, especially for new players navigating complex mechanics.
  • Better Music Variety: A more varied soundtrack or additional tracks to accompany gameplay would enhance the overall audio experience.
  • Fixes for Known Bugs: Persistent bugs, particularly those related to unit icons and crashes, need addressing to improve gameplay stability.

Summary

  • Overall, while Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach is praised for its tactical depth and adherence to the Warhammer 40k lore, it faces criticism for technical issues, lack of narrative depth, and some frustrating gameplay mechanics.
