Warhammer 40 000 – Sanctus Reach est sorti

Slitherine confirme que cette nouvelle jolie adaptation de Warhammer 40 000 sur PC, en 3D, et en tour par tour, est désormais disponible. Reprenant le décor de campagne Sanctus Reach paru chez Games Workshop il y a plus de deux ans, ce jeu permet donc de jouer les Space Wolves lors de leur défense épique du dernier bastion humain faisant face à une invasion Ork dans le système solaire de Sanctus Reach.

Le jeu bénéficie du nouveau moteur graphique Archon, construit sur la base de celui de Battle Academy, moteur offrant d’une part un rendu fidèle des unités (par rapport à leur équivalent en figurines), puis plusieurs fonctionnalités intéressantes, comme une belle palette de choix tactiques, un éditeur de scénario, un mode Escarmouche (système de génération de batailles rapides), un mode multijoueur PBEM++ mais aussi en coopératif.

Si seuls les Space Marines sont jouables en solo dans les deux campagnes du jeu (Stormclaw et Hour of the Wolf pour les connaisseurs), les Orks peuvent néanmoins être joué en mode multijoueurs. En outre ce jeu posant les bases d’une nouvelle série, il y aura bien sûr à l’avenir des extensions exploitant la richesse de l’univers de Warhammer 40 000. Futurs DLC très probablement sur le thème de la Garde impériale et des armées du Chaos, pour commencer.

Pour plus d’informations sur le prometteur Warhammer 40 000 – Sanctus Reach, dont nous vous reparlerons prochainement, voyez cette fiche chez l’éditeur ou celle-ci sur Steam, puis aussi notre AAR Green tide, Grey fog (1) et Green tide, Grey fog (2), ainsi que notre récente préview. Au passage notez que si besoin vous trouverez deux nouveaux videos tutorials présentant les mécanismes du jeu par ici sur YouTube.

A million turn-based ways to die in Sanctus Reach
Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach has landed on PC and Steam

The unforgiving planet of Alaric Prime is the perfect place to wage an apocalyptic battle between the ferocious Space Wolves chapter of Space Marines and the rampaging Ork Hordes of Grukk Face-Rippa. Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach, the turn-based strategy game, releases today and there’s going to be blood.

The game comes with 2 massive campaigns as the Space Wolves, fighting a battle to the death in hopes of saving the Knight World of Alaric Prime and the entire Sanctus Reach system from a terrifying fate.

In the new Skirmish mode, players can recreate the army of their dreams using over 30 different unit types for each faction. Locations can be changed, from dreary cityscapes that were once famous Knight Houses, to arid wastelands and deserts, from which Orks hone their battle skills and train for the WAAAGH!

In editor mode, players can generate a custom battlefield specified to their very own tastes. Moving around cover and placing obstacles to either complicate the combat, or an open field of battle where they face the enemy seemingly instantly, with no place to run or hide from their opponents.

Multiplayer is a deep addition, allowing players to play as either Orks or Space Wolves against each other.
