Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon

Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon is a hex-based, turn-based strategy game set during the Second War of Armageddon. You lead the Imperium’s Armageddon Steel Legion in the defense of the planet against an Ork invasion, with support from the Salamanders, Blood Angels and Ultramarines. The campaign spans over 30 scenarios, from the Ork landings to the planet’s liberation, across hostile terrain and gigantic Hive Cities.

The war for Armageddon

A massive space hulk drifts toward Armageddon, bringing the war-hungry Orks to the planet. You fight alongside Commissar Yarrick and Commander Dante against the Ork Warboss Ghazghkull Thraka. The campaign also features characters such as Inquisitor Horst and Governor Von Strab, with voice-overs, and its plot can develop during missions, including twists that unfold in the middle of battle.

The branching campaign includes 30 major scenarios and five additional tutorial scenarios that explore the story. You can carry your core force between scenarios, keeping battle-hardened veterans and using their experience to upgrade their equipment and weaponry. Several difficulty settings and replay value are also available.

Lead your forces

Combat accounts for terrain, cover and morale. Armageddon’s battlefields include ash wastes, volcanic canyons, acid-polluted rivers, dense jungles and massive Hive Cities. More than 300 unit types represent the Armageddon Steel Legion, the Orks, the Blood Angels, the Ultramarines, the Salamanders and even Titans. Units can have multiple weapon systems, each with distinct stats and graphical effects; the game also includes 20 unit stats and many special traits and abilities.

Fog of War and Undo Moves can each be enabled or disabled. The game also provides extensive modding options through an editor for designing and building scenarios to share with the community.

Multiplayer

You can play as either the Orks or the Imperial forces in multiplayer. A separate set of maps is designed and balanced for asynchronous multiplayer through the PBEM++ system, and Hotseat mode is also included.
