Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader – $15.42
If you’re on the lookout for a more slow-burning experience, instead of cheap trills, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is the 100-hour-long RPG for you. Widely praised by gamers and critics, Rogue Trader hands you the reins of your adventure, as you travel through space systems, in a seldomly explored region of space. The typical traditional CRPG experience ensues, as you build up your crew, take on quests, make important decisions, and take on a massive adventure that will keep you glued to your screen for weeks before you see the end of it.
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – $7.25
You know I love my first-person shooters, and if I could only pick one for Warhammer, it would be Boltgun, an acclaimed boomer-shooter that will have you destroying legions of Tzeentch daemons from the POV of Malum Caedo, on the Forge World of Graia, which has just been overrun by Cultists. The missions are long, the maps are old-school huge, and the game is quite a challenge. Gunplay is fantastic, the 2D-sprites and respective animations are super high-quality, and there are plenty of memorable boss fights. Chuck a bolt unto a heretic, and become the Emperor’s chosen warrior. Another steal for the low price of $7.25.
Total War: Warhammer 3 – $8.99
If the space expanse of the 40,000 setting doesn’t tickle your fancy, maybe the medieval vibes of the Warhammer Fantasy Universe, now better known as The Old World, will do the trick. The Total War: Warhammer trilogy of games did a phenomenal job at bringing Warhammer Fantasy to life, while also being some of the best strategy games of the last decade, and each entry is even better than the one that came before. The better part of these games, in my honest opinion, is how each faction plays fundamentally differently from one another, each has its unique objectives, and above all, even their campaign mechanics vary wildly from one another, making each playthrough with them feel substantially different from the traditional historical experience of Total War. If you can afford all three games, I would highly advise you to do so, because the Imortal Empires campaign, which brings together all the maps and all the factions into a single, gigantic campaign, is something no other game in existence will give you.
Conclusion
There are plenty of other games on sale, and some of them are equally worth your time and money. I just wanted to highlight some personal favorites and the ones I think will have you fall in love with the franchise if you never got into it. Other titles like Dawn of War 2, Vermintide, Mechanicus, and Battlefleet Gothic: Armada are all amazing as well, so make sure you check those out, too!
May the Emperor protect you, citizen!
