Battlefleet Gothic: Armada is the RTS videogame adaptation of Games Workshop's classic tabletop game, pitting the Chaos, Imperium, Eldar, and Orks against each other in visceral space-battles. Additionally an extensive multiplayer mode with persistent fleets where up to 4 players can battle simultaneously, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada also features a big story campaign, taking place during the 12th Black Crusade and putting players in the middle of the Gothic War that raged between the Imperium and Abaddon the Despoiler. Players will be at the centre of every fight, commanding fleets of gigantic ships as the Chaos unleash a sequential chain of surprise attacks on Imperium worlds at the start of 20 years of warring in the sector.

Super cracked game, I love the endless Skirmish progression system.
Campaign is cinematic and amazing, very good at delivering a grand 40k feeling. Soundtrack is similarly matched. However, the plot points themselves are pretty unimaginative. Core gameplay is good but becomes repetitive and meaningless after you reach max level and can use every ship. Allied AI pilot the most fragile eldar ships that they immediately use to ram ork battleships with, which make some campaign missions obnoxiously difficult. Second is better in almost every single way mechanically.
the story is awesome.
what stops me from playing is wanting to win perfect battles... but this is 40k, so it may not even be possible.

I'm sure this is a great framework for a game, greatly appreciated by those familiar with the genre, but the learning curve is steep, too steep for an idiot like me
