About This Game

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.
Developed with Unreal Engine 4, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada offers deep management of every ship composing the player’s fleet, both during and between battles. From the fastest frigates to the gigantic, miles-long battleships, the player will customize all aspects of his ships: weaponry, defense and support sub-systems, but also crew, captains, and more... each customization affecting the very performances of the ship and the special abilities available during battle. From battle to battle, the admirals and crew of surviving ships will gain experience and promotions, improving the battle-readiness of the ships for future, bigger and more dangerous 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 – the start of 20 years of warring in the sector.

- An expansive single-player campaign across the Gothic sector.
- Four factions to command, each one with its own strengths and skills.
- Tactical PVP multiplayer offering infinite replayability.
- A huge array of authentically recreated Battlefleet Gothic ships.
- A real-time strategy experience retaining many of the tactical Battlefleet Gothic elements.
- A plethora of lore-abiding skills to fill the player’s arsenal.
- Upgrade and apply skills at port Maw
Cross-platform play between Steam, GOG and Windows Store.

Constantly crashes, just don't bother
To anyone attempting to buy this game be warned. It has no difference between the hardest difficulties and the lowest. Also it will effectively put you through multiple impossible to win games in the first five to seven turns and scold you for losing. Exceedingly frustrating and overall not very fun game play design. Good 40k ascetic but a poorly made RTS.
Theme and Lore are great if you like 40k. Campaign balance is terrible, Needs mods to fix it.
Battlefleet Gothic Armada is undoubtedly one of the best strategy games available. Plus, the graphics are awesome.
Quite lovely game. Most direct implementation of TT rules in many aspects, while keeping game in real time. Strong representation of WH40k world both in artstyle and VA. Style of gameplay isn't for everyone since it requires micro and proper control of what is happening. You also need to play as factions dictate, so there are clear better or worse upgrades. Lastly game has handful of campaing missions that get much harder, as means to lose them without game over. It make rest of campaing harder and can discourage players, if they don't know what to do. Also be warned that there are some errors from time to time on newer systems.
One of the enduring Space RTS out there, with amazing visuals, units, factions and story.
The fights in this game are very nuanced, and lots of tactics are available. I highly recommend this game.
Good show
