PC Gamer listed the game eight on its list of best Warhammer 40,000 games, calling it "a hell of a spectacle". The game was included in Eurogamer's list of "The best Warhammer 40k games to play in 2022". ĭaniele Dolce of The Games Machine said: "There’s a lot of content here, but the many technical issues, the poor balancing between the twelve factions, and the many features missing from its direct predecessor make Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 an underwhelming experience." Īlexander Williams of Strategy Gamer summarized: "It’s a solid but not exceptional middle-of-the-road game with some UI hang-ups but a wide variety of factions and a solid amount of the old 40K charm." Tom Senior of PC Gamer awarded it a score of 84 out of 100, and said the game is "an absorbing space strategy game" and "one of the most authentic attempts to capture the grandiosity of Warhammer 40,000". That's a separate issue though.Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 has received generally favorable reviews with a 77/100 on Metacritic. The AI also cheats, which is very disappointing - it heads straight towards a stealthed escort it should have no knowledge of on a regular basis. something no human player can do without active pause or slowing the game down. When you're both talking to each other at the same time, it's great.Īnd against the AI, it's also necessary - the computer is hands-on with every ship all the time - using the scanner, skills, switching stances the moment a ship crosses a range threshold. Pretty much the way it works in Total War in fact - you can both pause and slow the game while playing co-op. I don't see why it can't be introduced as an entirely optional feature - if both players want to use it, they can. We both loathe the ridiculous mouse-click fest the game becomes at normal speed. but if those don't exist in co-op, we won't bother.

Tactics, in other words, not mouse clicks per minute.Īnd I briefly tried co-op with a friend who plays the same way in the first game, and we discovered to our disgust that tac cog was limited, so we didn't bother after that.Īfter seeing the campaign had a co-op option, I was looking forward to trying it with the same friend, especially after loving the Total War-like time control options in the campaign. Everything moves far too fast and feels far too arcadey, and the test of skill becomes how fast you can click your mouse accurately.Īt 50% speed, it actually feels like the old WW1/WW2 battles it was inspired by - groups of ships actually needing time to get into position, and the skill reward is from anticipation, forward thinking, scouting the enemy while concealing your moves and drawing them out of position and then punishing them.
