    Hello Legion Gamers!

    Epic Games Store continues to offer games for free every week, and the free game this week is...

    Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War

    Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War is the first turn-based 4X strategy game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Four factions will engage in a brutal war for dominance over the planet’s resources.


    I like the Warhammer 40K universe and lore, so played this one. I'd say it is a treat for fellow Warhammer 40K fans, as well as turn-based strategy connoisseurs. And even if you do not know much about this universe, it is a nice way to get familiar with it. Personally, I'd definitely recommend it.

    The only fly in the ointment here is that the base game only has 4 factions that are available in the original tabletop, so if you want to command the pious Adepta Sororitas, ingenious Adeptus Mechanicus, or treacherous Chaos Space Marines, among the others, then you'll need to pay extra. The developers gradually added almost all of them, currently, only Drukhari are left out. I hope they, too, will be added in the future.

    Though the good news is, they all are currently having some form of discount, and the free base game allows you to see if you'd want that extra content or not. But, and it bears repeating, it is a treat for Warhammer 40K fans.

    So, anyone wants to command some troops for (or against) the Emperor?

    @gohan I like turn-based tactics and real-time strategies. This is a turn-based strategy, so not exactly my favorite genre combo (it is more like HoMM), but it is close enough. And I like Warhammer 40K universe and lore, so that is an extra incentive for me.

    Red Alert is a great game, though which one are you talking about? My favorite part is 2. But Red Alert is a real-time strategy, so it is not exactly like Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War.

    @gohan they may, it's been overdue now. They made a remaster of Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert 1 not that long ago (the one with Kane still in it), so Red Alert 2 is hopefully next in line.

    It would pay them to go back to classics and original formula. Red Alert 3 left a lot to be desired, and C&C 4 was just...yeah... Best stick to what works.

    @DoctorEldritch One of my faves. I do like turn-based games. I recently started playing XCOM again. I know it's an old game but still fun.
