Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
89 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s well worth mentioning that I am basing this review entirely on the single player aspect of Battlefleet, however there is a popular multiplayer scene that is active with matches too; this is where the game is going to get the large amount of replayability that RTS have been known to have.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
83 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I preferred the first as it is more of a story arc - defend the Imperium's systems as they come under relentless assault and choose certain split paths like ally with the Eldar or waste 'em.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is definitely going to be more enjoyable for people who enjoy hugely strategic games and planning your attacks meticulously; with plenty of micro-management thrown in too.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are simply superb, the sound and visual effects top notch.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Voice acting is also excellent - I mean think of it, you're the actor in the sound booth and you put THAT amount of imagination and over-the-topness into it!?
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The main interest of this for me was to be able to play the co-op skirmish with my friend.
