Battlefleet Gothic: Armada Critic Reviews

BGA is a great strategy and even better Warhammer 40K game. Its difficulty might scare away some players, but details on ships and impeccable voice acting will thrill the die-hard fans of the universe. This is a game that is truly blessed by The Emperor.

Armada is tactical, unforgiving and at times difficult, but incredibly fun and gives a great feeling of victory when things go your way. It's a side of 40K that I don't see explored that often, and it does so in an incredibly astonishing way.

At once gorgeous, accessible, true to the lore and entirely engrossing, there hasn’t been as emphatic a tribute to the universe of Warhammer 40,000 since Dawn of War. Warhammer fans will love it and space RTS bods will enjoy its complexity and depth of tactics. Battlefleet Gothic is a game the God-Emperor Himself would be proud of.

Battlefleet Gothic Armada is a superb example of a perfect RTS with a unique gothic universe, some technical issues with the graphics card are the worst aspect of this great game.

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada lets the player dispose of tens of thousands people at a time in battle, and the micro-management is no less complex. It appears as an excellent digital transposition of the original boardgame, and it also represents a great first test for the newborn development studio – Tindalos Interactive.

Slight frustrations aside, I’ve really enjoyed Battlefleet Gothic: Armada. It’s a fantastic micromanagement heavy “naval” skirmish game that drips with the Warhammer 40k flavor. It’s always great to see a genuinely good Warhammer game, particularly a 40k one, that’s not something of a throwaway these days.

By and large, Battle: Fleet Gothic Armada is a great game, and another one of the nice surprises that can occasionally emerge from Games Workshop's plan for world domination.

With a multiplayer that has as much nuance and depth as each ship you can manage, Armada is well worth your time if you’re a fan of the 40K universe.

It’s not just the best game set in Warhammer 40,000 universe we’ve seen in years, but also the best modern space strategy. I need to warn you though – it is brutally difficult.

Despite some problems with game balance and mission design, this is the best Warhammer game since Dawn of War 2: Retribution.

Battlefleet: Gothic Armada has a cumbersome UI but otherwise it feels like an excellent digital transformation of the original board game.

A tubthumping tribute to the 40K universe, with perfectly grim design. Multiplayer definitely needs work on its balance though.

The developers of Battlefleet Gothic: Armada openly wanted to create a videogame with a feeling as close as possible to the original board game, and to that extent, their goal is achieved. The single player campaign feesl a little bit repetitive from time to time, but overall, fans of strategy games and Warhammer 40.000 will be more than pleased.

If you want to be an admiral of colossal starships in the Warhammer 40.000 universe Battlefleet Gothic: Armada is your game. It's an epic, challenging and exciting adventure, especially in its multiplayer battles 2 vs 2.

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada is a beautiful game that’s flawed but brilliant. Occasionally obtuse but always entertaining, it’s a wonderfully unique way to experience the Warhammer 40k universe.

But for those prepared to deal with the learning curve, micromanagement and single-player focus – and especially for anyone who loves the tabletop game – Armada is well worth your time.

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada is an interesting proposition, worth recommending for gamers interested in complicated strategy, with quick reflexes and divided attention. It's also a beautiful adaptation, perfectly conveying the atmosphere of Warhammer 40,000.

Tindalos Interactive’s capital ship combat RTS provides a mix of deep, tactical gameplay and epic Warhammer 40K atmosphere. It misses on a “classic” status because of repetition in mission types and maps during the game’s lengthy campaign but it is still highly recommended for fans of the genre.

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada is not your typical space strategy game. It's a fun violent strategy game focused on space combat rather than micromanaging an empire.

Successful realtime strategy game in which you will learn how to lose. Despite a few flaws it offers great entertainment and lots of activities for space tactics.
