A popular PC game normally costing $40 is currently available for free on Steam until May 28th. Unlike many free games offered this year, which have been relatively unknown indie titles, this is a well-regarded game – its original price suggests it’s a significant offering.
From now until May 28th, you can download and keep the turn-based strategy game Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War completely free! Developed by Proxy Studios and Slitherine, this 2018 game is set in the popular Warhammer 40,000 universe. While it has a Metacritic score of 71, players on Steam overwhelmingly recommend it, giving it an 81% approval rating based on over 5,152 reviews. This earns the game a “Very Positive” rating on Steam, meaning most players really enjoy it.
2018 Strategy Game
If you’re new to this game, it’s a turn-based strategy game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe – and it was the first game to explore this setting. The game takes place on a planet torn apart by conflict, where four groups fight relentlessly for control of limited resources. You choose one of these groups and focus on eliminating the other three. Unlike many similar strategy games, this one cuts out things like diplomacy and technological research, focusing entirely on military strength and conquest.
I was reading reviews for this game, and one person hit the nail on the head – if you love games like Civilization but always skip the diplomacy stuff, you need to check this out. Another reviewer put it perfectly: it’s not trying to reinvent the wheel, it’s just a really fun, well-made game. It’s a solid experience, and I’m definitely adding it to my list!
Some players have pointed out that the game has a lot of downloadable content, which can become expensive if you buy it all. However, you can still fully enjoy the main game without any of the extras. It’s also worth noting that this game is more affordable than many other titles in the same genre.
