    Warhammer Games are notorious for being awful shovel ware. Somehow making the grim dark future of warhammer 40k boring and repetitive. There is a new 40k game on the block, one that seeks to deliver fast paced, bite sized 40k gameplay. and its a free to play mobile game of all things! After having played Warhammer 40,000 Tacticus for about 100 hours since launch, I feel I am finally ready to give my verdict on the game!

    Full disclosure, Tacticus is sponsoring this video. They told me they wanted to sponsor a full dedicated video about the game since I had put so much time into it, and it could be any kind of video I want. I figured a review was a great place to start. I told them that I had things I like and didn't like about the game and would be completely honest with my audience about it. they agreed and encouraged this, as the feedback from me would ultimately help make the game better.

    ...I swear, Games Workshop hates it's fans. Instead of doing the right thing and taking a few years off and making a proper 40k game that would blow peoples minds... a Mobile Pay to Play/Win dumpster fire. I am not mad at you Wes, I get it, need to pay bills. I am just over how Umbrella operates, sorry I meant Wayland-Yutani... sorry (get those mixed up) I meant Games Workshop.

      I'll be honest, I'm not really sure how it works behind the scenes. But I'm pretty confident anybody who wants to make a Warhammer game Can. They just have to pay for the rights to the IP. Games Workshop doesn't make any of these games. People just come to them and say they have an idea for a game and GW says "yeah all right sounds good Go ahead"
      I remember the days where we had to wait like five or six years to get a Warhammer game. Dawn of War and Space Marine were great but there was like 8 years between them. I kind of prefer this shotgun approach since we're getting a wide swath of different types of games. A lot of the lower budget ones have turned out to be incredible. I played the hell out of mechanicus and I bought it for a dollar on steam. I'm also really enjoying tacticus. It's not for everyone but it's definitely not pay to win as the only thing putting money into the game does is helps you make a little bit more single player progress. So you can if you want to, but why would you? I think multiplayer modes is when pay to win stuff gets really predatory.

    A point I would like to add is that the process of getting new characters is really slow. And once you do get those characters, they are very under-leveled, to the point you cannot play them in your current team at all because they will die instantly. So now you have to spend more time leveling them on a relatively playable (and boring) level, over and over until those characters are relatively playable. That is what made me quit the game, as it felt like I was being punished for unlocking new characters. I play Combat Cards more. Give that game a try Wes! Do it! As usual, love your work and please carry my nurglings.

      Yeah I agree, I don't mind grind on moblie games, but when you have to either invest those tomes to give exp (which you dont get a lot of) or grind them from level 1 all over again? Yeah its what killed the enjoyment of the game, it does have decent gameplay, but too much grind for AFTER youve unlocked the new characters

    • @assaultghost00
      @assaultghost00 Рік тому +3

      I haven’t ran into this issue because I had already picked out the characters I wanted and instead of leveling up all these other characters I hardly use I would save up and when I finally unlocked the characters I want I could easily get them up a few rarity’s.

    • @highroller6244
      @highroller6244 Рік тому

      Once you unlocked most of the campaign Missions, to quickplay, powering up Characters goes pretty fast. The one thing that bothers me is, that they implemented yet another currency to Upgrade characters from rare to epic and so on. And the currency is different for each tier. Farming Splinter takes time but is managable but the other currency is super rare.

    • @axios4702
      @axios4702 Рік тому

      If you don't like it, it can't be helped, but unlocking and leveling up characters is the whole point of a game like this.
      It IS grindy as hell though, you often get just 3 shards a day for standard grinding and characters go up to 500 shards for legendary, Epic and rare characters needing 250 and 120 shards respectively.

    • @dbz9393
      @dbz9393 Рік тому +2

      This game is a grind not only cause of that but because you can't even level up or promote your team at all if you can't progress the campaign's or are stuck. For example I only have three xenos characters for a campaign that requires four. The fourth character takes 150 shards to unlock which can take weeks and then you have to level them up which again takes weeks and you can only play a limited number of matches a day

  • @ajhess8308
    @ajhess8308 Рік тому +44

    One of my biggest problems with the game, and one that you touched on briefly, it’s how long everything is and the grind. Characters take weeks to unlock since you can only raid missions 10 times and I average about 3 shards in those ten times. Scale that you to even uncommon units who need 50 shards and it takes a long time.
    Character progression is also really slow, they require a lot of XP per level (most of which you’ll give them through books, playing missions to level is insane) and leveling only really exists to increase skill levels. The ranking system is also really slow, and often times early to mid game makes you complete large swaths of the campaigns to get items needs to get characters out of stone 1. You can also get screwed over by items not being available in the campaigns you have unlocked meaning you just have to wait.
    That’s another thing, all the waiting. Completing 1 campaign mission means 30 minutes of waiting, arena tokens take 3 hours per, onslaught take 12, raid take 6, and salvage take 8. It’s kinda ridiculous and keeps me from getting really into the game.
    I love it, I play it daily at least, I just wish it moved faster than an iceberg

    Ive played it pretty much since launch - and it is *painfully* P2W. The only fun modes are Onslaught and Salvage Run, and theyve got insane cooldown. Getting shards is beyond a grind and down to luck. Ive got a mission to do damage with Thutmose. Except Ive only got 18 shards and it seems to only give 2-3 each 10 daily raids. So its gonna weeks to even unlock the character. Same story for energy - its gone within seconds, then you have to spend money to play again. Its just a P2W grind. Could have been really good - it was really promising, but its just another cash grab.

    This review is straight up wrong. This is more like an early game review, from a person who hasn't played more than a couple of days. After that, the game absolutely turns predatory with it's microtransactions and putting you up against whales that have bought everything. You can't even go through the story mode all at once, you'll need to wait weeks to get stronger units unless you pay money or get an insanely lucky first pull. I like Wes a lot and I hope he's not lying about this stuff but this is completely off.

    25 tokens to upgrade a character just one level (which is nearly nothing compared to what they throw at you). You can only get a token playing a specific level AND the percentage to get the token is incredibly low. Add to that that you can only play a level 10 times every 24hours..
    it’s insane how much they push you back hoping to get you to pay for a loot box where the chance of getting what you need is also very slim.
    I must be playing a different game or maybe I’m in a timeline I don’t belong to, where most people just seem to bow down to these exploitative unethical corporations.
    Don’t get me wrong. I’d happily pay 20$ for this game if there were no lootboxes or microtransactions. And would even pay extra for “DLC” like the new T’au they are adding, to support development.
    But this casino style approach where they stretch progression as much as possible via inhuman grinding to force people to spend money is abhorrent.

      They could add a game mode that lets you play always that you can earn energy. That would let players earn more energy to keep playing. My biggest gripe are the timed packs, you get a new character, level it up and there comes a 2hr or 4hr timed pack. Those packs should stay in the character view sections, then you could decide later if you like the character to buy that pack. It should just unlock the pack not put it on a timer.

    I will watch the review after writing this: The game is very grindy, many comments say that and it is true. But other than most gotcha games Tacticus can really be played on the side because of the long cooldowns and how long it takes you to upgrade certain characters. I find this really refreshing compared to Raid: Shadow Legends for example where you have so much to do that it fills an entire workday. What I find sad is that, yes the comments are right, there is not much tactics in most modes. The most tactic is in the raid mode where most bosses bring very different mechanics and sometimes you really need to think (or watch some youtube vids). What is VERY frustraiting is that there is, once you understand how the mechanics work, mostly just a very tiny roster you need for most modes (Eldryon and Ballator for example). But you have a steady progression from my point of view, I play for 4 months now and can beat most content without paying too much money (20€ in 4 months, thats like nothing and it was give something back to the devs). The problems start with most of the events to unlock new characters. The normal ones are easy but tidious, the legendary events are really annoying because you need a big and broad roster of champs. If you dont play since the start your progress will stop at 25 to 50% of the event. yeah they come back but to be honest often you need to level and gear characters you otherwise would NEVER use. Overall an okay expierence you can enjoy on the toilette, other than Raid which takes too much time.

Also, if it's not like that, it means there are burdensome ads littering the experience. If I could just drop like $5-10 on the game and get the whole thing without bullshit, I'd rather do that.

    In my PvP experience, the victory points scattered around the map ensured skipping turn wasnt as viable as many players thought. In LIVE PvP, you must get 5 points, you get them from killing characters and taking tiles marked as Victory Points. A battle can be won or lost on capturing this points, even if you suffer many casualties, taking them ensures your opponent needs to wipe you out or remove you from them to win, while you only need to strike at their weakest forces to secure victory.
    Also, summoners mostly suck in PvP, except for the Black Legion sorcerer.
    and I have realised, maybe the reason there is no voice acting is because they try to keep the game´s weight on memory as light as possible. I have gacha games with dozens if not hundreds of characters each with their own voice lines in different languages and BOY! the difference in weight from those games to Tacticus is absurd!

    I’ve been playing (free) for a week or two now. I have 4/5 Ultramarines, 3/5 Sororitas, 3/5 necrons, 3/5 Black Legion, 2 Orks and 1 Death Guard. My biggest issue, is that the progression is so goddamn slow past the first week. Having the chance for upgrades, spending precious little energy to replay or raid a cleared stage for just a chance at getting the needed upgrades is just insanely slow when those needed upgrades are forced to combine 3-6 of them for the true upgrade past the first week. The required character shards are few and far between, I’ve got a number of my characters “maxed” at their current level since it takes a long time to get enough shards to rank them up and continue leveling them.
    This could be a cool game, if they just charged $5-10 for it and got everything (not micro transactions for the campaigns). This game is typical P2W, the whales are going to keep this game going for years, while 99% of the playerbase quit within six months.

    The game is just alright. As I see it, a game needs to be either fun or interesting. Even if a game isn't the most fun, it should at least be interesting enough that I'm willing to keep playing through its less fun moments.
    Tacticus is somewhat fun, but nothing special in that regard. When it comes to being interesting however, it's really not very interesting a game and I feel that is its biggest flaw. I love 40K because it's so unbelievably interesting in story and style, and I feel like Tacticus forgoes all of what I love about 40K for something that feels a bit sterilized for the sake of selling a product to the general market. I didn't dislike the game while playing it, but I get more positive feeling out of watching 40K lore videos than playing a game that stirs nothing in me, positive or negative.

    I spent $ on the Eldar quest but aside from that I've more than doubled my strength compared to my guild mates, though I'm most likely going to join a stronger guild as I never asked to be the leader xD.
    I agree with every single point you've made. I wish the devs would be a bit more transparent when it comes to factions as I really, really want my buggy bois to be playable.

    Wes I'm deep in this game because of a video you did previously.
    I brought the chaos pack and a few bits a pieces, my only gripe with the game is how slowly you aquire shards, you need 300 for 1 summon which could be as little as 1 character motif and 3000 for 10 guaranteed 1 champion (you may already own)
    I understand that this is a new game, not many hero's to choose from or factions in regards to the amount available in the TT so it's not so bad right now however, I feel if they don't increase the shard acquisition rate as they begin to add units and factions then unfortunately this game will be dead in the water

This mobile game is honestly the first time I've been hooked onto this genre for the game play not just the story line.

    Finally decided to give this game a try after the recent lore video. All the negative stuff seem to be exactly the same as a year ago ... I'll probably play this for as a side game. Can't do much to progress once u are stucked. The raids using the energy is by far the one i hate the most is for there just to slow the progression. Only been playing for like 2 days and i already felt everything the negative side of it. I'll probably play little longer untill the honeymoon phase goes away. I do the the graphics and how each unit looks and the main game play.

    It's decent, Ok to be blunt but Getting characters is hard and all of the Eldar fans only have two (I'm waiting for Night lords and 1k sons) and mainly just the campaign just being that (yeah unlocking a Death Guard and Black Legion member is easy but considering i need 3 Chaos Members BLACK LEGION specifically). The game is more of a daily log in and a few battles or two..

    I wish there were defined classes. If the PvP system had limits to how many of each class you could have it would be more fair. Example if you have the black legion summoner, the canoptek spider, and the imperial commisar you can spam the field with summons, a totally broken tactic.

      That's pretty much what the PVP mode turned into after it had been live for a little bit. It was so broken. But it was also kind of hilarious when you and your opponent were doing the same thing. There was like 80 characters on screen at once 😂

  • @ashforddolan3012
    @ashforddolan3012 Рік тому

    I love the game and recently spent 1k, there’s so many issues , firstly the shop , they charge you 50 blackstone to change what the shop offers which is an absolute joke and get nothing you want or need 1/5 times , the cost of the items in the shop are realistically 3 times too high and the creators are using it as a cash grab . Seriously creators of Tacticus lower the bloody prices and you will get more people wanting to spend money because they will actually see the value . They do put a lot of effort in fixing problems when they arise with glitches and reward you for that but it’s never really helpful for the higher level accounts , pump out the other factions and make new campaigns , create other characters in the existing and stop making it such a grind to get legendary characters. 5 min for 1 energy also is rubbish , 300 blackstone for a crappy requisition drop , come on seriously!!! 90 percent of them are worth 30 black stone . Definitely could make this one of the greatest mobile games if you actually listened to players and you would keep people playing instead of players losing interest before reaching level 15 . Need to keep player’s interested and not feel like a such grind . Yes I understand you can’t give out everything quickly but there needs to be a lot adjustments There’s my rant … none the less sick gameplay and most of the events are decent but the onslaught and salvage take way to long to be given again

    I tried it, but uninstalled after few dozem maps. It wasn’t really intuitive what each unit does, and what the terrain features should do. Usually you just loose a turn because some random grass. Just wasn’t that fun.
    Plus the traditional mobile game upgrade item and resource spam, that isn’t really my bag.
