Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters is a tactical strategy title set in Game's Workshop's grimdark universe, and for our money, it's right up there with Rogue Trader as one of the best games in the setting. Released on PC in 2022, PS5 and PS4 versions of Daemonhunters have been confirmed for a 20th February deployment.
Daemonhunters will scratch that very specific X-COM itch masochists get from time to time, swapping soldiers for Space Marines (the Grey Knights chapter, specifically) and relatively cute aliens for festering cultists of the Chaos God, Nurgle. It emphasizes close-quarters and melee combat, a refreshing twist and perfect for the setting.
As Force Commander, take command of the Baleful Edict and purge the Tartarus System of the corrupting Bloom, deploying squads of highly customizable, heavily outnumbered Space Marines and Terminators to burn it out root and branch. All the while, you must keep your ship in working order and upgrade it, along with its complement of daemon-busting warriors, in line with the ever-increasing difficulty curve.
What do you think of Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters? Can you believe how well fans of tactical turn-based combat have been eating on PlayStation lately? Along with the aforementioned Rogue Trader and Baldur's Gate 3, Persona 5 Tactica and Aliens: Dark Descent, it's been a feast, and Daemonhunters looks set to continue that trend.

Was about to buy this over steam, I guess I'll wait
That's cool, seems a good tactical game.
But rogue trader pretty sure has much more and better rpg dialogue and lore.
I wish they would bring the 40k space rts games too to console.
I forget the name just now.
Armada or something.
Edit: found the name again: Warhammer 40k gothic armada 1 and 2.
Looking forward to reading the review. Looks like it's digital only for now, not seeing a physical release for this.
Adding to watch list
This is one of those rare moments where console gamers get excited about a PC game coming to their platform, myself included 😬
This studio is where it's at .they reject the nonsense here is where great media is made. Cavils Warhammer live action movie can't wait to see it!
Have it on PC. Great game, the devs worked hard on it and have released loads of free updates and functions through the years.
I've played this on PC and it's one if the best X-Com type games around.
It'll depend on how the controls are implemented for the PlayStation version, though. I've never understood why they couldn't add mouse/keyboard compatibility for these sorts of games, the USB ports are there.
This is a great game. After years of not clicking with 40k I bought this Christmas 2022 and fell for the setting hook, line and sinker. I'm now over a grand deep in the models and love the table top game
Will you be reviewing this? Curious to get your full take on it. I’m enjoying Rogue Trader but I’m in Act 4 and the bugs are starting to frustrate me.
Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command on PSP anyone?
