Warhammer 40,000: Regicide Critic Reviews

The latest in a long line of Warhammer 40,000 games brings a great new strategy and a gorgeous appearance to its chess-based battles. It is an immensely satisfying experience.

Warhammer 40,000: Regicide is what every kid who played Battle Chess back in the day wished it could have been. It enthralls, but a lack of content and variety may see the majority of players move on far sooner than the game deserves.

I think Regicide is a really cool concept and an interesting adaptation of an already turn-based game with entirely different mechanics.

A combination of traditional strategy with layers of modern tabletop mechanics that work well to create a game that's fun to learn and satisfying to master.

Chess lovers who were looking for a nice Warhammer-themed battle chess, look no further. The regicide mode is bloody good fun, yet there are a few things that could have been better, such as the monotonous campaign.

A problematic AI is a huge flaw but fortunately Warhammer 40.000: Regicide is much more than this.

Regicide attempts to build on classic chess, but the result is one-sided. Warhammer 40,000 license is underutilized with only two playable races.

Sure, Regicide takes strategy to an all new level, but this level is a tad too brutal for me.

Regicide can make players feel far more capable than chess allows, but also occasionally powerless. Those who find comfort and excitement in Regicide’s middle ground, though, will have the joy of experiencing the strategic depth and twists its scrutinized balance and flexibility can offer.

A cute chess set for 40K fans and an unusual twist on the classic game, but skip the campaign.

Warhammer 40,000: Regicide is best recommended to only the truly dedicated fans of the Games Workshop created universe.

At its best, it's an exciting mix of chess and RTS but there are just too many frustrating moments.

Summary: Regicide is chess. You are buying a computer chess game. Yes the graphics are tasty and the fight scenes are well done and the atmospherics are exemplary. But it’s Combat Chess with a twist, and not even a big twist.

Just a chess game with Warhammer characters. It's fun, but it could have been much better.

It’s chess with Space Marines and Orks, and a few twists in the title game mode.

Regicide is more interesting than good. The second game mode is a nice idea for people not really interested in chess, but various shortcomings in AI and graphics make it hard to really appreciate the game.
