Leana Hafer (IGN)

Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters is an excellent XCOM-like and one of the best 40K games since Dawn of War II.

A brutal but graceful and comprehensible mix of ideas from Warhammer, XCOM and Gears Tactics.

While there’s enough tactical depth and customization to sustain a playthrough, much of Daemonhunters’ battles feel like vehicles for getting across its great story, and not the other way around. For many, XCOM is as much about the long journey — failures and do-overs included — as it is the destination. And while I don’t think Daemonhunters offers that same kind of obsessive replayability, it does lay a crunchy, thrilling tactical base for its brazen aesthetic and brilliant story to tread upon.

GamingTrend	Ron Burke	90 / 100	05-05-2022	Where so many games in the Warhammer universe feel generic and uninspired, Daemonhunters manages to give us a game with tight tactical combat, a decent story, and a careful balance that is challenging but not punishing. The Emperor demands you pick up this game!	Read review

IGN Italy	Claudio Chianese	8 / 10	05-11-2022	A nice turn-based game, quite similar to XCOM but not a clone: a good use of the Warhammer license.	Read review
PC Gamer	Robert Zak	87 / 100	05-04-2022	A layered and engaging space opera that triumphs both on and off the battlefield.	Read review
PCGamesN	Phil Iwaniuk	8 / 10	05-05-2022	Turns out it's possible to be a turn-based Warhammer 40k game and still retain user-friendliness and pace. Who knew.	Read review

SpazioGames	Daniele Spelta	8.5 / 10	05-10-2022	Daemonhunters doesn't just live up to the expectations, but is one of the best tactical games out there.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Stefan L	8 / 10	05-04-2022	Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters is a great take on the turn-based strategy genre, encouraging front-foot combat with a strike force of empowered Grey Knights at your disposal. It takes a while to get going, the situations and enemies you encounter lack a bit of variety, but this is an accomplished effort that's easy to recommend to fans of Warhammer 40K and XCOM alike.	Read review
Wccftech	Nathan Birch	8 / 10	05-04-2022	Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters manages to successfully separate itself from most other tactics games on the market, while also capturing the gritty spirit of Games Workshop's universe. Daemonhunters' punishing difficulty spikes may turn some away, but hardcore strategy fans looking for an uncompromising challenge will likely embrace the chaos.	Read review
