iPad strategy game Warhammer 40k: Armageddon is out now, with a very premium price tag
There is only war
The game also has in-app purchases, with three mini expansion packs for £3.99 / $4.99 a pop.
So what do you get for your cash? Well, 30 scenarios, 300-odd unit types, hot-seat and asynchronous multiplayer, cross-platform play with PC, and apparently modding options with a game editor.
We'll look into all that with a review, soon.
Original story follows…Slitherine is well known on iOS for its hex-based war games. But this Thursday, it will combine that approach with the explosive sci-fi battles of Warhammer 40k.
Originally released on PC last fall, Warhammer 40k: Armageddon thrusts you into a sprawling story-driven campaign against the Ork menace, as you lead Ultramarines, Space Marines, and mechanized support across a variety of terrain ranging from volcanic canyons to dense jungle.
With 300+ units at your disposal, upgradable stats and equipment, and factors such as morale, fog of war, and cover to consider, Warhammer 40k: Armageddon promises a challenging tactical experience.
The game will be available for iPad tomorrow at around midnight.
