The short version
- Creative Assembly's brand manager says they're hoping to make the definitive game in the 40k universe.
- After playing the game for a little while, I think they may have pulled it off.
- The game is, like all Total War games, a grand strategy, set in an especially chaotic corner of a war-torn galaxy.
What happened
In the demo I played, I was able to experience a slice of the tutorial campaign and the main campaign, plus a challenging large-scale battle to wrap up. It was a small window into what is looking to be a gargantuan tactical experience: nonetheless I left convinced of its merit.
Why it matters
It's also worth noting that this game is a new direction for the Total War series.
