"This is not a perfect game but in reality, that is something games should only strive for and not one of them will ever reach. With that in mind, Black Lab Games certainly did an amazing job in that pursuit …"

"The only major flaws holding this game back are that there only two playable factions and only one faction gets their own single-player campaign. But aside from that, Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector is a great, addictive strategy game that wonderfully translates …"

"A nice turn-based tactical game, simple to understand but hard to master, set in the ever-fascinating Warhammer 40.000 universe. The experience is fun, but just two armies and one campaign don&s;t fully justify the relatively steep price."
Read original review"The Momentum concept, designed to shake up a relatively classic turn-based experience, is interesting but does not affect the action enough. Black Lab has already said that they are planning to add more factions to the game, presumably with a …"

"Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector is a solid turn-based tactical game, but also quite generic. That&s;s because the developers did almost nothing to differentiate their game from other titles in the same genre. Recommended if you&s;re a WH40K enthusiast, but demanding turn-based …"

"The tactical approach is smart and well balanced, but we wished for more contents and modes."
Read original review"Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector offers an authentic tabletop experience, except in a much more convenient form. The game major&s;s issue is the lacking hardware optimization, but despite that it should provide you with dozens of hours of fun."

"For Sci-fi strategy fans Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector is a pretty good hit, even without any exposure to the lore. There is just a lot of good things to say about mowing down aliens hordes. There are some small, but ever-present …"

"To date, &s;Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector&s; is the best digital rendition of the Warhammer 40k table-top miniatures game that I&s;ve ever played. The amazing attention to detail and unknowing nature of each mission will resonate deeply with 40k fans and be …"

"Warhammer 40000: Battlesector is another great example of Games Workshop’s hands-off approach with the license working wonders. It’s such a fun game, with a great fast paced take on turn-based combat. Fast, flashy, and both factions play true to form."
