CHAOSGATE, released by SSI in 1998 was an amazing game. The X-Com style gameplay with WH40K itemization was such a great fit.
I've wondered since the release of X-COm 2 when some brave souls would revive this title, and now they have.
I'm a cynical and jaded old gamer, so I don't automatically assume this game will be good, but I pre-purchased it anyway because I need them to keep trying to make good WH40K games.
My quick ranking of the top 5 WH40K computer games:
1. Martyr
2. Chaosgate
3. Dawn of War II
4. Final Liberation
5. Dawn of War
To many my list is certainly heretical, but I stand by it. Most of the games that rank higher end up boiling down to rock/paper/scissors meets Chess in ways I found unfun.
Anyway... the obligatory trailer...
