About Battlefleet Gothic: Armada (Classic)

. . Battlefleet Gothic: Armada is the RTS videogame adaptation of Games Workshop’s classic tabletop game, pitting the Chaos, Imperium, Eldar, and Orks against each other in visceral space-battles.. . Developed with Unreal Engine 4, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada offers deep management of every ship composing the player’s fleet, both during and between battles. From the fastest frigates to the gigantic, miles-long battleships, the player will customize all aspects of his ships: weaponry, defense and support sub-systems, but also crew, captains, and more... each customization affecting the very performances of the ship and the special abilities available during battle. From battle to battle, the admirals and crew of surviving ships will gain experience and promotions, improving the battle-readiness of the ships for future, bigger and more dangerous battles.. . Additionally an extensive multiplayer mode with persistent fleets where up to 4 players can battle simultaneously, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada also features a big story campaign, taking place during the 12th Black Crusade and putting players in the middle of the Gothic War that raged between the Imperium and Abaddon the Despoiler

Aesthetically this game fits the Warhammer 40K universe more then any I've ever come across

Aesthetically this game fits the Warhammer 40K universe more then any I've ever come across. it looks like 40K and the voice acting is amazing. As a game, I believe Battlefleet Gothic Armada accomplished what it set out to do, It captured the feel of the original Table Top game. And while many may argue about the implementation, and the balance, the majority of players agree that it is fun. One challenge new players might have is the different factions. Remember that each faction has it's strengths and weaknesses, which means each faction has different play-styles that fit them. You will need to learn how to play each faction that you wish to use, and you will lose some battles in that learning process. Be patient, learn, and remember: sometimes a faction just might not fit your play-style. The only problem I have with the game is that sometimes, it's easy to forget that you're commanding ships that are miles long. these are not small vessels. yet there's so much going on so often that you just don't have the time to zoom in and enjoy watching your space cathedral floating along.

Single player is great

Single player is great. Skirmishes are fun only on hard mode. PvP is full of cheeze and imbalance, if you don't use battleships, you're crippling yourself. Ranked PvP never increased above 1v1, dooming the game. If you can get it on sale, do it for the campaign. If you're looking for multiplayer experience, don't bother, devs abandoned the game long time ago and don't adress imbalances.
