Each marine in the squad has a different class that grants them unique abilities, from a melee sword that can teleport behind enemies to having a bot that can heal other marines. This is my first introduction to the game’s combat. But first, I’m ambushed by a squad of soldiers infected by Nurgle’s rot. To do this, I have to get one of my marines with melee capabilities up close and personal with one of the targets to perform a special melee attack.
The first mission I embarked on had me taking a squad of four marines to extract seeds of the Bloom, a parasitic growth quickly overtaking the star system, from living hosts that work in service of Nurgle. I was unable to interact with any of these systems during my time with the game, but from what I saw, the ship’s design perfectly encapsulates what so many fans love about 40k‘s iconic Space Marines. It is in that ship that players can interact with NPCs, upgrade and customize their soldiers, travel throughout its star system, and research new technologies.
At the start of each mission, I was able to get a brief glimpse at the player’s ship and home base throughout the game, The Bleful Edict. My time with the game was split into four sections, two of which were regular missions, one of which was a boss fight, and the last was a cutscene. As part of this year’s GDC, I was lucky enough to get some hands-on time with the upcoming squad-based tactical game Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters from the developers at Complex Games.
