Rules
I read the lowest review (68/100) for this and it was basically "Game is fun, but the first game had a better campaign and more focus with more diverse gameplay because the Orks actually used tactics" which seems fair. I'll pirate it eventually, fuck the pricing they've put on it.
Yeah, their horde engine is kind of only suited for mass waves of zero AI enemies. To be honest, i'm not sure its really capable of any sort of varied tactics.
It is not, to the point i played there are 5 kinds of enemies:
Oh there was also Carnifex at one point but it was easier to fight than the warriors, but scripted so you couldn't defeat it.
I must admit all of those maybe except ranged warriors are very effective against my old and somewhat damaged nervous system.
It looks really cool visually but I can definitely see it getting old without variety. Gears of War kinda understood this, or at least some of those games did. I sort of see Space Marine as similar in style.
