So guys what's the skinny? The game came out with little hype and was released today. the game was marketed as an xcom-ish flavor TBS using a square grid and point buys. GW is also marketing minis from the game (surprise and totally not a cash grab).
Right now retail is 30$us. Game dev is slitherine same as Armageddon and various tbs hex based tank games.
You can play as a Titan as well.
After deathwing, and although I have almost every 40k vidya, I'm a bit skeptical, many other fans probably feel the same.
Thanks /tg/uys!

there is no connection between DW and SR though. Slitherine is a good developer and if it the game was 10 bucks cheaper I'd blindly buy it. For 30 I'll w8 a week or two for some reviews and then buy it (or not). From what I've seen so far it looks pretty good.

I understand that, but if devs go for "lets sell them on the 40k IP, it doesn't matter if the game is shit they'll buy it" then I'd just buy/play a TBS game like <insert good game here>. But my love of the 40k lore, artwork, and fandom always pulls me back in.
And I have played the other slitherine games - both 40k Armageddons, and the overlooked Ravenmark: Scourge of Estellion which plays similar to a square-based wargame. I think slitherine mainly lacks on the window dressing of their games - minimal voice acting, animations, and cut scenes - but they've obviously proved themselves as being able to make solid core game mechanics.
Shit, did I just shill myself...
>10 bucks cheaper
totally, right now its a price issue, and its not on GMG, but if you have humble monthly you can get 10% on humble store (and right now if you sub you get xcom2 free..)
oh shit I just did it again...
