After completing the game, I wanted to update the review. Overall a recommendation if you like Owlcat Games and/or the Warhammer 40k universe.

Good things:
- Lots of atmosphere, lots of lore, feels like you can impact the story.
- The story is good, the characters and intrige feels just right for a Warhammer 40k,
- The combat system is good, and
- I think the ship battle is fine after you get used to how it functions.

So-so/bad things:
- There are bugs, but such is life with an Owlcat game. I didn't experience any game disrupting bugs, just weird small ones.
- While the combat system is great, I may have played on too low difficulty setting. By act 3 I was steamrolling every encounter, one shotting bosses and henchmen within 2 rounds sometimes.
- The loading screens are endless. I really really feel this is the weakest part of the game. Everytime you transition from one place to another, loading screen. Loading screen. Loading screen. Please, get rid of some of them!!!
- Navigating between star systems was not very well executed in my opinion. While it may reflect lore and the warp and stuff, I just didn't really care for all the many random encounters due to warp incident. It is also annoying that you can't trace a route a system to one some distance away if you got all green and safe routes. This part of the game could be optimized.

Fun game with lots of variety. First game I 100%'ed with achievements. I still need to beat highest difficulty with all characters though.

Great game, well worth full price, if you see it on sale, definitely grab it if you like cozy bullethell games.

At first I thought this game was too easy, man was I wrong. What a gem of a game, absolutely love it!

444 hours and still no level 100 char.. too much fun making new characters!

Fun game with lots of things to learn

Game is great. Great voice-acting, challenging combats. The story I'm still exploring and developing, but quite happy with it so far :)

I don't experience any crashes or gamebreaking bugs (yet), only a couple gliches here and there, which I don't mind. So don't believe the negative comments that it happens to all. It does not happen to everyone.

Difficult, fun, and extremely well made! Love it!

Lots of fun!

I went into this game coming from BB:TM (a boardgame) and hoped I could get some interesting games going with heavy team building, but this seems like a game where most of the time is in the matches and the rng there just isn't for me. I dislike wasting an entire turn because my player failed to pick up a ball.

I'm sure if you're down to playing long matches, limited team building and like punishing rng rolls, then this game could be really fun. Just isn't for me.

I tried the campaign but got bored of playing the match before it finished, then I tried making my own team and got bored playing that. The failing of rng is too severe - and I know you can get stuff to reroll failed attempts, but... the matches are still too long and that's not what I was looking for.
