I've had a lot of fun. A few things to point out:
+ atmosphere - the grimdark is really thick here, with the story and characters fitting well together (including the slightly saddening, but very fitting ending). The neverending struggle of humanity against the chaos is depicted nicely.
+ audio/video - the game looks nice and there is a bit of character customization, which is welcome. There is enough detail to look at during the game. Enemy body parts missing is particularly pleasing and connected to gameplay. The sound of guns and other effects is good and dubbed knights are a nice bonus. Overall music is nice and fits to the situation without being intrusive.
+ story - it got me interested and I wanted to see how it ends.
+ gameplay - the core game mechanic is nice, turn-based tactics feel good. There is enough character types and builds to keep the game fresh with different options and playstyles. Criticals, disables and executions make it all the more satisfying.
- mission variety - I don't have any DLC, so I have less variety in missions and they can get repetitive towards the end of campaign
- target indication - in some cases, the game indicates you can shoot a target from a certain position, but when you actually get there, the target is ujnreachable due to obstacles or full cover. This is only a minor annoyance, not a big criticism, but it would be nice to keep it consistent.
+/- random events on star map - they can go either way, sometimes giving small rewards, sometimes giving significant penalties, but overall I appreciate the variety it brings

TL;DR: it's a pretty good game with nice replayability. Definitely worth getting for all WH40K fans and for all others who like tactical turn-based combat.

Early Access Review
The game certainly has an appeal. Developing your ground and building towers is time-proven concept. It looks nice and is easy to control, less easy to get far, but there is sense of achievement or progression in it.

However, there are some elements I did not like too much. It is quite obvious, this is a ported mobile game and as such, it shows its gacha roots. Endless grind is not fun for me. Another aspect is the "rogue-like" nature of the game. I don't like relying on RNG to build an effective base.

Still, it's not too bad and anyone willing to try it can have fun building and evolving monsters and exploring synergies. These two concepts are well made and give players meaningful progression on a small scale within a single game.

Very cute and relaxing game.

Mechanics are simple enough and objective is clearly communicated via instinct. The end is a bit difficult to pass due to perspective changes, but it fit well with trying new things in a game and is very peasant experience after understanding it.

But the atmosphere is the best. Visualy very well made. I'd definitely appreciate more of it.

It's a nice game, visually pleasing. But it has some drawbacks...

Story is basically not there, it's so childish and naive...

Manual mode doesn't even let me chose who do I want to attack. So the tactics are limited and quite unsatisfactory.

Currency system is too complicated - too many types of currency for each action. Internal exchange of currency types is balanced to always put profit into the game's pocket, not players'.

At a certain point, you'll encounter a difficulty spike to force you into spending real money to progress further, becasue the grind give so little reward it's basically a non-factor.

And despite steam tags, there is no nudity or sexual content, unless the end-game gets way more brave than the start.

The game offers a nice stealthy action and a variety of approaches to it. Even though there are some small criticisms I could point at it, I had fun the whole time. The feel of Thief Deadly Shadows is present and it's good that the creators maintained the spirit of the original. Nice work.

The game looks good, but the Ubisoft policy is extremely bad. I have it in my steam library, but I have to use uplay to play it? No. Crack. And then encounter a bug that prevents me to finish main mission and progress the game and again, customer is locked behind some ubisoft account gate... This ruined a nice game. No more ubisoft again :(

Generally fun to play, with the setting making a huge part of that. I'd prefer sieges and army recruitment from Medieval 2, though. Also moving units without generals...

I never played the basic game, but only Third Age Total War and Divide and Conquer mods. That is enough to recommend - base logic of the game is nice even compared to the newer titles and the mods add LOTR. Nothing more needed

Pure unbridled violence. Very relaxing.
It's actually pretty good fun becoming rage fuelled murder machine demigod and go demon hunting. The game is simple enough on lower difficulties for a casual play after work with mechanics and enemies that keep me entertained throughout. Coming to the end of it, I start to feel there could be a few more missions, so the only drawback for is the single campaign size (comparing to previously finished RPG games might not be totally fair, I admit, but I can only compare the games I've played).
Still, a solid 9/10.
