    I spent some IAP, total of 3 purchases of top tier $36 pack, so 90 draws, I sold all the 3 star and below heroes and most of the 2 star and below weapons, then used those proceeds to draw more. My biggest fear is that the gun that I want/need will RNG never drop and since there is no crafting or upgrade system then I may never get the unit/weapons I want even if I played forever!

    I ran into the same thing. Enemy turn and game would crash every time. Cleared memory, restarted iPad, etc. Still crashed. Finally I quit mission and lost all my XP! Not just mission but all of it. I was in act 3 and had not spent anything yet. So that was painful watching 7-8k go away per marine.

    Almost think I'd have been better off reinstalling and starting over since I wasn't thrilled with my pack pulls.

    Still, I loved Hunters 1/2, WHQ, and I'm digging this game. Even that huge XP drain hasn't dimmed my spirits too much. But I'm looking forward to some quick patches to make it more stable.

    I have had to reinstall twice now. If this continues I am waiting for a patch. Love the game but loosing progress because of an error is frustrating.

    Anyone know what happens when you quit a mission?

    Edit: sounds like you lose all experience for the whole squad, is that right?

    And to rodeo: there are a lot of pleases but it's ridiculous memory management—iPad Air and if I lock it or it goes to sleep after two minutes, I have to reload the app........which is not fast, mind you! Really annoying when interruptions come up, let alone playing mobile.

    I just crashed on enemy turn and there goes 20 min of playtime and the exp... This really needs a fix please. The issue is actually a lot more serious since my game is now bugged and I can no longer play!

    I am on iPhone 6, crashed campaign 2, mission 1 on enemy turn. But when i closed app feom background and restarted phone, when i launched game the map i was in loaded on enemy turn and i crashed again! So basically my 8 hours of playtime and $108+tax down the drain if i have to reinstall! This is really unacceptable, i have to say for a paid title. At game launch it asked if i want to send crash report, i pressed "Always Send". My gamecenter name is ChaosProdigy if you need it

    I tried restarting and restarting a few times but always same crash. I took a few screenshots of this mission below so you know exactly where it crashes. It is the mission where one of your team is separated and you must keep him alive 10 rounds. I believe this may be round 6-7? It crashes around the same place but sometimes I get a few extra seconds into enemy round before it crashes.

    I found a way to exit the bugged map by clicking settings auickly and leave map. It said your heroes will lose all unspent exp, i believed it meant from that mission but it actually reset all my heroes total exl to 0! I had more than 4000 exp per hero and was saving up for the expensive skills and now all my hours grinding are gone due to this bug. I just cannot believe this whole situation! Immagine if I was saving 20,000 exp for end tier skills? I would be so much more pissed off at the lost time and the the massive inconvenience of it!

    Wait, wasn't that what we did with combat monster? I remember your ID now! Not that I hate IAPs, I think they are totally fine. But so far I have been resisting any spending on this game despite wanting to support the developers.

    IMHO, looting is a vital part of the game experience. Getting great heroes late and leveling them up against unfavorable odds are really challenging and fun. And often there would be random unexpected gears that force a change in play style, which, to me is intriguing. Moreover the excitement of getting some awesome heroes after a huge boss fight is so rewarding.

    So I believe unlike some other games where IAPs are necessary to experience the full features, for this one they are actually depriving part of the fun. I highly recommend trying to build your dream squad from scratch.

    I certainly hope that there would be expansions in future, say new chapter IAPs. Instant buy, no doubt.

    It's sucks compared to Warhammer Quest, and slightly better then Space Hulk with its totally random based one-hit-kill combat.(however SH Accention Edition get nice implementation of field of view, and in Deathwatch we have square-based field of view). I hoped for more freedom and novelty, but this is just reskinned Hunters.

    Been busy too much and have only just got my second card pack and still my luck....I swear I'll own every plasma weapon in the galaxy soon all the terrible ones. Also got a champion unit....the same one I got in my last pack : ( tactical space wolf.

    I also desperately want to replace my Blood Angel, even though he's a veteran his ability I unlocked shoots everyone in range so he loves shooting all his team mates.

    Do I ever get units after completing a level or just gear?

    Is that the one with the glowing FENRIS in his chest?
    Do know it's awesome...he singlehandedly saved the day in last 2 missions :)

    Actually, I took chance of this post to address the high variability of the game, which is a big plus in my book.
    I have 2 play through under my belt...one till Act 7 and one complete.
    They were pretty different in Marines I got, gears and weapons....so different I changed approach completely.
    On game I had almost all tactical Marines, no assault, just one devastator.
    Second one I relied a lot on Assault reaction skills, plus many scouts with AP aumgentation aspex.

    Also I really really liked how some missions seem impossibile till you find the right combo.
    I started trying weapons I never cared about and found awesome new ways to proceed where before I was just teared apart.
    (Things like grab guns, laser cannons etc....)

    I've now started 2 new playthroughs (one on iPad, at veteran....ELITE UNITS!!!! OMG!!!!) and one on iPhone on normal.
    And they are both radically different as well.

    I can't wait to unlock shields and chrono bombs....I want to do a Space Wolves only assault team.

    What a game!!!
    I dumped over 300 hours in Warhammer Quest, but I can see myself playing this one even more!!!

    I'm disappointed with this game. I loved Warhammer Quest, and I thought a space marine reskin would be grand. This just isn't satisfying me.

    1/ The game is slow. It's sloooooooow. With only four action points, you need to reserve *at least* 2 points if you want to go on overwatch. Advances with overwatch support take forever.

    2/ The line of sight rules are bad. Got three enemies lined up in a corridor? You only see the first one, and only by killing it can you discover the ones behind. This isn't fun if you decided to march up an assault marine to melee the unit. I'm a huge advocate for fog of war in games, but the way it's implemented here isn't fun, isn't realistic, and doesn't make for satisfying tactical decisions.

    3/ Did I mention the game is slow? Watching a termagant take four shots one by one is torturous. Obviously TBS games allow a player to take as long as they like to move, but you still need to find a way to keep that sense of urgency.

    It's not bad. It's just not great. Feels lifeless, with some poor decisions on presentation and gameplay.

    If this was a simple reskin, we wouldn't have a new engine, new 3d environments, new 3d models, abilities, mechanics. While everyone has an opinion and Deathwatch may not be to your taste, its these kinds of inaccurate, terse statements which hurt the most.

    Its wargear from completing missions, but dont worry, if you go into the inventory, select a piece of wargear you can sell it for requisition points and buy more packs, which contain marines. You can also sell your old marines, to get packs, for new marines.

    The circle of life!


    Being able to see through units is something we toyed with, like a soft fog rather than a black out but it felt a bit weird. This might be something we consider in the future if we can perfect it.

    We're working on a speed up button, it might appear in the next patch no promises though.


    If you participate in the iOS 9 betas, you can't expect everything to work. By their very nature they are an unstable testing ground which we cannot plan or prepare for. If you spend 2 months making it work on Beta 1 for them to change the SKU in Beta 2, you've wasted 2 months work.
