The campaign uses the Regicide game mode, but with set formations for the board depending on the campaign stage and objectives. Warhammer 40,000: Regicide has two game modes that can be played outside of the campaign, Regicide and Classic. Players new to the world of Warhammer 40K will have a decent introduction to the game universe as a whole, without having to learn the thousands of years of narrative that has been built into this property. Fans of the IP will pick up on the story immediately, and know what roles each person plays throughout the campaign. The Blood Angels have arrived on Hethgar Prime to eliminate every Ork on the planet, both to avenge the fallen Imperialists and to spread the word of the Emperor. The story of Regicide is typical Warhammer 40K, which is just fine with me. The map will also be set up uniquely between each stage, and the pieces available will be determined by what stage you are on.
Each objective will be unique to each stage of the campaign, and fits with the story being told. In these narrative sections, the objective of the stage will be set, as well as any secondary objectives that can be completed. The story is told before each stage of the campaign, and is told through text boxes that are fully voice acted. The theme is generally one of vengeance and intolerance towards the enemy, in this case it is the Goff clan of the Orks. The campaign story telling is very typical of Warhammer games. The Blood Angels arrive on Hethgar Prime too late to save its inhabitants from the savage alien threat of the Orks, but the Blood Angels are never too late to deliver the Emperor’s vengeance. The introductory cut scene shows the plea for help from Hethgar Prime, that finally reaches the Blood Angel Chapter of Space Marines.
The campaign for Warhammer 40,000: Regicide takes place on the Imperial world of Hethgar Prime. Yes, the base idea is Chess, but the good people at Hammerfall Publishing have made this game so much more then just that. That being said, to simply write that Regicide is Warhammer 40k Chess would be to over simplify the game. Today, I will be taking a closer look at Warhammer 40,000: Regicide, Games Workshop’s version of Battle Chess. My next two game reviews are both Games Workshop properties, which makes me a very happy game reviewer.
