Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters heads to consoles
22.02.2024 - 22:39 / destructoid.com
A previously PC-only turn-based strategy game, Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters is now available on Xbox and PlayStation consoles. PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One owners can now play the Warhammer universe-based adventure for the first time. I’ve spent some time playing it on PC already, so here’s what you’re getting, console players.
Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters is a turn-based strategy game developed by Complex Games. It takes place in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, like Darktide, Space Marine, Rogue Trader, and Boltgun, for example. This simply means it uses characters, creatures, environments, and lore from the franchise.
You don’t need any previous knowledge of the extensive lore or other games to understand the story and characters of Chaos Gate. Additionally, the story isn’t too important, you’ll mostly just want to make your army of knights awesome and (strategically) take out every enemy in sight.
Overall, the game plays as you’d expect a turn-based tactical game to play. If you’ve played a game like XCOM, for example, it’s a very similar style. You’re in command of a group of ‘Grey Knights’, capable of dismantling enemies using a host of rad weapons and abilities. Knights are class-based, so you’ll bring a healer, tank, mage, and soldier-like characters into battle.
One thing to note is that Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters is very challenging. In my time playing it on PC since it came out, I’ve definitely had my fair share of struggles. However, there are multiple difficulties to choose from. If you’re new to the turn-based strategy genre, or don’t want an exceptionally hard challenge, I’d recommend playing on a lower difficulty.
Combat feels much more exciting than many turn-based games. I’m not a particularly huge fan of the genre, but enjoyed my time blowing things up and performing big melee executions. The after-mission parts of the game are its weakest area for a few reasons:
In other words, you’ll be using the button to pass time and waiting to get back into the battle fairly often.
Building a team of Knights, upgrading them, and equipping them with awesome melee and long-range weapons is certainly the highlight of the game–if you’re into that sort of thing. Fun and interesting abilities, like teleporting behind enemy lines to execute them with a sword, help it to stand out among others in the genre.
Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters is now available on consoles for $44.99.

PowerWash Simulator goes surprisingly hard on the Warhammer 40K vibes
PowerWash Simulator is a chill-out game that captures the simple joy of scrubbing dirt and grime from the side of a house, statue, or playground. But what if you’re bored by the humble scene of a garage door or muddy truck? What if you yearn to gain the same satisfaction as a miniature painter gets from airbrushing an elaborate figurine? PowerWash Simulator occasionally does pop culture crossovers to introduce a little bit of variety — like SpongeBob SquarePantsand Final Fantasy 7 Remake— but none of them are as grim and dark as the Warhammer 40,000 pack.
