Gladius Prime was known to Imperial scholars as a planet of archeological interest. During its colonization ancient relics were found, revealing hints of a shrouded past. But it was more than relics. Something awakened, an unspeakable horror from an ancient past, and the citizens of Gladius found themselves trapped in a terrible war for survival.
Gladius Prime was once a planet of peace. Now there is only war.
Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War brings you to a world of terror and violence. Four factions will engage in a brutal war for dominance over the planet’s resources.
In the first 4X turn-based strategy game set in Warhammer 40,000 you will lead one of four factions: Astra Militarum, Space Marines, Orks and Necrons, each with their own unique gameplay, technological tree, units and heroes.
Face a challenging AI or cooperate or compete with friends and strangers across the globe.
EXPLORE
Play as one of four iconic Warhammer factions (Astra Militarum, Space Marines, Orks or Necrons), each with their own unique playstyle and technology tree. Explore a randomly generated world filled with special features and threatening wildlife that can crush your troop's morale. Secure control of powerful ancient artefacts to grant you an edge against rival factions.
EXPAND
Construct cities, buildings and fortifications to expand your empire and produce an army to vanquish your foes. Harvest resources and research new technologies to fuel and upgrade your machinery of war.
EXPLOIT
Progress through a different storyline with each faction as their destiny on Gladius Prime, a world tainted by the warp, unfolds. In the end, when all the dust has settled, only one faction can emerge victorious.
EXTERMINATE
Command a wide array of devastating weaponry, issue city edicts and deploy tactical operations. Recruit hero units that possess distinct special abilities and can be equipped with items, ranging from advanced grenades to mighty relics of the past. As they become more and more powerful with each rank, they turn into true champions of your cause.
why do they keep giving the franchise rights to some unknown develpers?
yep
but i wouldnt call Slitherine completely unknown , when it comes to hardcore strategies (they seems to be quite tied with the devs they published games for)
@Sin317 you mixed up the publisher with the developer, the developer did like 3 games according to their page, but as prudi mentioned, if they did an ok-ish 4x game maybe this will turn out ok
Tyranids will soon storm Warhammer 40,000: Gladius!
A new faction with new rules and a planet-size hunger
Eat the planet! Gladius Prime is a planet in a never-ending state of war. Space Marines, Astra Militarum, Orks, and Necrons fight relentlessly to conquer the ancient prizes on Gladius surface. But something worse lurks in shadows: feral Tyranids will soon roam the planet surface. All life on Gladius will soon shudder in fear.
Get ready with your flamers! Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War - Tyranids DLC will be available in January 2019
Warhammer 40,000: Gladius is back with a new playable faction, the Chaos Space Marines.
Fueled by their hatred for the Imperium, they will stop at nothing before they exact their revenge. Fielding hellish machines, wielding Warp powers and possessing the experience of a thousand wars, these ancient warriors are ready to conquer Gladius Prime, killing and enslaving all who oppose them. In the name of the Warmaster, and their Dark Gods.
