The Red Thirst Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Ok not sure if this already has a thread somewhere (please move if need be mods) I remember hearing about this a while ago but wasnt sure if it was legit... Horus Heresy: Drop Assault Here's an article on Polygon. http://www.polygon.com/2014/7/18/5915813/the-horus-heresy-drop-assault-warhammer-40000 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294086-horus-heresy-drop-assault/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saphrael Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Hmm... can't say that's really how I want to see the license used. I'll buy it if the game looks good (too early to tell now), but it seems like just a skin at this point. I remember the GW CEO clearly called out in their last annual report that they were going to address the drop in licensing revenue with some new Android/iOS games instead of traditional titles. It's tough to fault the logic of low cost, low risk games like this, but I really don't think it's going to do the brand/IP any service, nor bring anyone into the hobby. Though that's probably not the objective. Give me Dawn of War III or Eternal Crusade any day.

Bob Hunk Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm approaching this with cautious optimism. :) Hopefully it will sell well and encourage bigger and better Heresy video game projects.

SteelPaladin Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Not cool. They keep pumping out this shovelware garbage. I am just hoping that this increases awareness and brings new people into the hobby. Maybe one day we can get a proper 40k game again. Oh, how I miss THQ and Dawn of War...

Tiger9gamer Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'm being opportunistic. I like the heresy and I'm interested to see how this does. Hopefully it won't be a Dungeon Keeper-mobile esque greed game with them asking for money every few minutes, and hopefully it can be a solid game to try out and play. Angry Birds is a mobile game after all and look how well that's doing.
