Even if we just wanted a 1v1 together we had no option to build the fleet we liked, we had to make an admiral/fleet then get grinding as if it were a campaign.Ĭan we actually build the fleets we want in private matches?Īnd does matchmaking actually put us against equal fleets or will we just get curbstomped again?Īlso is it less micro intensive? In the first game we were a bit soured to find that despite the slow pace of the ships we had to micro manage every little bit of movement, attacks and special abilities since a ship could go 100-0 mega fast. Which was funny to say because the DLC factions were OP as shit.Įither way MP was borderline unplayable, we kept getting roflstomped and couldn't build decent fleets.
We asked why matchmaking would throw us in our starter fleets against people with maxed out doom fleets we had no chance against, their response on the forums was along the lines of "the 40k setting is not fair" and "people these days are too obsessed with balance". The devs kinda pissed me and my friend off last time. It’s difficult to get excited about leveling up a skill to do 0.3 more repairs per second when it’s only active once or twice per mission, for instance.I just want to know if multiplayer is actually allowed to be fun. I was disappointed by the fleet customization, however – it seems like a good idea in theory, but some of the decisions are far too minute to feel meaningful. It’s simple but fairly effective, and also filled with the expected overserious vibe of Warhammer 40k, something reinforced by the bombastic music and exaggerated voice acting. The first is a traditional story, where you play as the Imperium fighting against a Chaos invasion, recovering artifacts, gaining levels, and customizing ships as you progress through the potentially dozens of missions across 10-20 hours. There are two campaign modes in Battlefleet.
There’s clearly a lot going on under the hood as well, with each ship having different systems that can be individually targeted, special moves for captains to undertake, boarding parties to launch, and bombs to plant. The background of every battle includes colorful planets and nebulae, while the fighters, torpedos, and projectiles from each ship makes combat feel busy and exciting.
“The real-time two-dimensional battles are relatively slowly paced, especially next to something like a StarCraft-style RTS, but they’re always visually appealing.
