Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach is a fun and cool turn-based 3D wargame that allows you to engage in Space Marine-on-ork violence on an intimate scale. You get to lead your units through two campaigns, leveling them and choosing your tactics wisely to outmaneuver your enemies. Despite its roughness, Sanctus Reach is a great addition to the Warhammer 40K line-up that fans will enjoy.


What we like:
  • Fun and tactical turn-based combat
  • Wide variety of units with customizable armies
  • Levelling system for units
  • Easily accessible for tabletop fans on a budget
  • Good value for money with lengthy campaigns and DLC options.
What could be improved:
  • Poor storytelling and lack of character development
  • Limited factions and missing units from the codex
  • No sync kill and lack of eye and ear candy.
