Gameplay

Gladius – Relics of War is a turn-based strategy 4X game played on a hex grid, set on an imperial world of Gladius in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.[3] There are four races to choose from: Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Orks, or Necrons.[4] There is no diplomacy, a departure from a typical 4X game.[4][3] The multiplayer supports hotseat mode.[5]

Release

Gladius – Relics of War was announced on November 27, 2017.[6] Several downloadable content (DLC) packs have been released for the game.[7]

Reception

Gladius – Relics of War received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.[8]

Leana Hafer of IGN said that "[w]hile it didn’t wow me as a competitor to Endless Legend or Civ 6 in the 4X race, there’s a lot of action-saturated, tactically-driven fun to be had when you look at Gladius - Relics of war for what it truly is: a really well-done, turn-based 40K wargame. It’s one of the best turn-based 40K games I’ve played through that lens."[11]

Tom Senior of PC Gamer summarized that the game is "[a] plodding and predictable 4X strategy game that's relaxing in its own way, but rarely challenging."[17]

Davide Pessach of Eurogamer gave seven out of ten to the Tyranids expansion.[18]
