A look at this melding of chess and bloody orc death.
Nerd Rock's Trevor Coelho writes: "Despite the niggles and the ragequits, I enjoyed Regicide. I really, really enjoyed it. Like I said at the beginning of this review, there was much enthusiastic giggling and chuckling, as I watched my Space Marines do what they do best.
And what seemed like a silly idea to me has turned out to be a remarkably enjoyable experience. Person at Hammerfall who thought this up - you've won me over. Real chess needs bolters."
Chalgyr's Game Room writes:
Chess is already a very strategic game, but when you mix new elements in, you have an opportunity to turn those tactics on their head and create something fresh with them. While there are some rough edges here and there, Warhammer 40,000: Regicide delivers a solid experience for chess and strategy game fans.
Sam from The Gamers Lounge writes, "I will give the twisted minds behind the Warhammer 40,000 universe credit, they at least know what they're doing with atmosphere. The series, a reductio ad absurdam of pretty much all science fiction and a little fantasy, is known for its rich atmosphere and utterly insane character designs. (Well, and codex creep, but that's for another article) It's a huge, bombastic setting of spaceships the size of former Soviet republics and ten foot tall warriors with six lungs and specially made ribs."
