Fans of miniature plastic soldiers rejoice. Games Workshop has brought several older Warhammer and Warhammer 40K video games to Steam for the first time, as well as a dozen games that haven’t been available on Valve’s storefront for a few years. Steam’s new releases include three games from the Warhammer Fantasy range – shadow of the horned rat, Mark of Chaos – Gold Edition And dark omen – and four from its science-fiction 40K universe – chaos gate, fire warrior, final liberation And rites of war.
If you’re a Warhammer fan of a certain age, some of these may be formative experiences for you. I know they are there for me. I can’t count how many hours I spent playing chaos gate I first discovered 40K when I was 10 years old. yes, it was one xcom Clones, but by that time I didn’t know about the MicroProse original, and Space Marines were cool.
Years later and as a Tau collector at the time, I also liked fire warrior, Even if it isn’t the most sophisticated or deep first-person shooter. I haven’t played the other five games included in today’s announcement, but I’ve heard Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat And Warhammer 40K: Rites of War Great if you’re into the setting or, in the latter case, a fan of the Eldar.
To celebrate the re-releases of these old gems, Games Workshop is running a Classics Sale on Steam, with discounts on all 19 re-releases. Plus, you can get discounts on some more recent releases, including the excellent Dawn of War – Definitive Edition And Dawn of War 2 – Anniversary Edition. If you’re new to the Warhammer 40K universe, and want to avoid plastic addiction, one of those would be my first port of call, along with the excellent space marine 2.
