Matrix Games announces it is now Armagideon Time, as they have released
Warhammer 40,000 Armageddon, a turn-based strategy expansion for Windows
PCs. The release is now up
on Steam, and it carries a 25% discount for the next week.
A trailer released
last week offers a look, and here's the announcement:
A massive Space
Hulk is drifting towards Armageddon with a fearsome Ork army on board. Led by
the infamous and megalomaniacal Ork Warlord of Waaagh! Ghazghkull, the Orks are
prepared to land on the planet and invade this precious Imperial Hive World.
This colossal conflict for dominance of the planet is known as the Second War
for Armageddon! In Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon, players have the opportunity to
relive this epic fight between the Orks and Imperial forces including the troops
of the Armageddon Steel Legion and three chapters of Spaces Marines: the
Salamanders, Blood Angels and Ultramarines.
Today we are overjoyed to announce that the game is finally released and
available on both our sites and Steam! In this hex-based, turn-based strategy
game developed by Flashback Games and The Lordz Games Studio, players will fight
alongside iconic characters such as Commander Yarrick and Lord Dante to repel
the Ork invasion, protect the hives, and eventually liberate the planet from
this perfidious alien attack. But the Orks are well equipped and hard-boiled
soldiers, therefore only those commanders able to expertly combine their units,
take advantage of their special traits and abilities, and understand the assets
and dangers of their environment will have a chance to save Armageddon!
Thanks to its epic story-driven campaign with more than 30 scenarios, over 300
unit types, a multiplayer mode in which players can command both Ork and
Imperial forces, and a powerful map editor, fans of Warhammer 40,000 should
prepare themselves for a long and heroic journey across the surface of
Armageddon!
We are offering a $10 discount to the early adopters during the week of the
launch! We are also going to offer a free Steam key to anyone who bought a copy
of the game from the Matrix Games or Slitherine store, once the game is
available on this digital platform!
