Gameplay edit

Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon is a turn-based strategy wargame played on a hex grid, set on a polluted hive world where Imperium armies have to defend from ork hordes.[1][4] It uses Panzer Corps' game engine.[5] There is co-op and player versus player multiplayer, either via online, hotseat, or play-by-mail methods.[6]

Release edit

Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon was announced on 21 May 2013.[7] The game was released on 26 November 2014.[1] An iOS port was released on 19 June 2015.[2] A macOS port was released on 20 June 2017.[3] Several downloadable content (DLC) packs were released: Untold Battles, Vulkan's Wrath, Angels of Death, Glory of Macragge, and Ork Hunters in 2015, and Golgotha in 2016.[8][9][10][11][12][13]

Reception edit

The iOS and PC versions received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[14][15] Several critics called the game very similar to Panzer Corps, Slitherine's game from 2011.[21][5]

Richie Shoemaker of Eurogamer said of the PC version: "[a]t the core of Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon there is a very good strategy game, unfortunately too much of it is either obscured, poorly explained or needs attention before it can be given a recommendation."[16] Adam Smith of Rock Paper Shotgun said that "[i]t's an accessible wargame and a good place to start for those familiar with the fiction and looking to make the jump to hex-based warfare."[23]
