$19.99
Open on Steam ↗US Steam price, checked 5 h ago · Lowest we’ve seen since Oct 20, 2026: $3.99
A deep, great-looking 40k fleet-combat RTS with a long, grindy campaign. On modern PCs it often crashes or won't launch, so skip it if you won't tinker with fixes.
Great for
Warhammer 40k fans who want weighty fleet combat and a long single-player campaign, and don't mind applying launch fixes
Main risk
Crashes on launch or within minutes on modern hardware and Windows 11, with no official fix
