Surprised that the Warhammer 40K: Gladius game didn't already have a thread here considering it's a 4X Turn Based Strategy 'Civ like' game set in the Warhammer 40K universe. Did a search and can see a few people ( @Futumch , @Casworon , @FinalDoomsday , @Pfeffersack , @Senethro , @OmegaDestroyer , @Synobun , @Stew Pid , @Enginseer , @Commodore , @PhilBowles , @CorvusFortis ) talking about it in other sections of the site over the years. What did you guys think of it? Would you recommend it? How Civ like was it?
I can see in the many positive Steam reviews multiple people describing it as 'Civ meets Warhammer' and a 'more faster simplified action packed Civ style game'. Obviously it's a few years old now but it still looks pretty cool and I can see it's got a lot of DLC spread out over the years (meaning it must have sold well) including this year, and I can see you're starting out on different alien planets giving it a bit of a cool Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri & Civilization Beyond Earth feel, and maybe now days a bit of a Age of Wonders Planetfall feel too. Can also see it's creator Proxy Studios (who previously made the Beyond Earth like game Pandora: First Contact too) is using an updated version of the engine to make a new similar kind of game called ZEPHON due in 2024 that looks pretty cool and Civ like too!
