The game has a number of cutscenes detailing each faction that you meet and even each system that you visit. Numerous cameos and mission dialogue also add more flavor to the universe.įans may appreciate Tindalos’ efforts in using the source material, but newcomers need not worry about getting lost. Creed (CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!) grace my screen in a video game for the first time. As a long-time Warhammer 40K reader, I clapped my hands and audibly gasped after seeing characters such as Trazyn the Infinite, Yvraine, and Ursarkar E. Make no mistake, the prologue already gives you an idea of what the story is about. The Imperium of Man, long beset by countless Xenos lifeforms and Chaos encroachments will now taste utter defeat at the hands of Abaddon the Despoiler.
