The games pitted against three Traitor Legions of Chaos

A good case in point is the turn-based tactical simulation,

which is awfully tricky to pull off successfully without a mouse on which to fall back.

War hammer: Command Squad could have been a contender if it had only come out on a platform better able to host this style of game.

All movement and combat is based on a traditional turn-based battle system where every unit is granted a set number of action points with which to move and shoot during each turn.

An us-against-them storyline pitting the Imperium against the forces of Chaos runs through the 15-mission solo campaign and further sets a no-nonsense tone.

Plot isn't much developed here (although the cutscenes feature gorgeous action-movie bombast and the battle sequences come complete with accurate takes on those distinctive Warhammer miniatures),

although you don't have to have any experience with the tabletop game to deal with the mostly straightforward objectives.

Most of the time you're just clearing out Chaos bases and trying to kill every enemy soldier on the map for the glory of the emperor.

However, you occasionally have to deal with complications, such as laser turrets and tanks.

This sounds like an awfully bland formula and, well, it is, but great level design makes every assignment feel like a fresh challenge.

Solid enemy troop placement along with loads of options for cover in buildings, walls, wreckage,

and other landscape features makes combat interesting all of the way through the game.

Almost everything in the game can be destroyed too, leaving you an incredible amount of freedom when devising battle strategies.

You can hammer away at foes head-on and blast through fortifications with the aid of such heavy weapons as laserguns or rocket launchers.

You can flank bad guys and clip them from long distance with sniper rifles.

Or you can mix up different approaches to attract the attention of adversaries on one front,

then sneak space marines behind enemy lines and let them go to town with their chainswords.

Let's go to the game Hero Squad Commando Warhammer.
