Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War brings you to a world of terror and violence. Four factions will engage in a brutal war for dominance over the planet’s resources. In the first turn-based 4X strategy game set in Warhammer 40,000 you will lead one of four unique factions.
Unfortunately, you often have this concept on Games Workshop Games. For example:
In every single game I have listed, you have to buy new teams or characters via DLCs. Yes, those are normally complete teams and not one or two additional units for your fraction, like here with Gladius. But I see this behaviour in every other Games Workshop licensed game, so that it looks like GW is trying to force this behavior. This is just a feeling and I don’t have evidence for that, but it feels like that.
That being said: If you like 4X Games where the focus is at the fighting part, then this game might be for you. I have arount 60 hours in this game and it’s fun to play with friends.
