Much like Gears Tactics, Daemonhunters is an aggressive simplification of the XCOM formula. Image: Complex Games/Frontier Developments plc He functions as a bit of a one-man army, appearing behind enemy lines to massacre weaker foes, or keeping larger targets at bay with the Daemon Hammer’s knockback effect (he can also knock enemies off cliffs and into pits, which feels a bit like cheating in the best way possible). Like many of the game’s classes, he’s melee-focused - but he can also teleport. Nor have I grown bored with my favorite little toy-soldier man: the Interceptor. I haven’t gotten tired of watching my fully decked-out squad teleporting down to a planet in a flash of fibrous lightning. In my long campaign against the forces of Chaos, I witnessed these door breaching, grenade-throwing, and pillar-knocking animations countless times, and yet, after 40 long hours, I still haven’t gotten tired of seeing them play out. On the same turn, I tell a second knight to slam into a pillar, thereby toppling it over and wrecking another congregation of enemies.
The top-down tactical view suddenly and slickly zooms in on the projectile, the camera admiring the grenade’s contours for a split second, before doing a bullet time spin and zooming back out for a devastating overlook. A group of underlings linger in the corner, so I issue the command to hurl a frag grenade at their feet. Only a few minutes into the tutorial mission, my gruff squad of four Grey Knights are shoulder-barging through blast doors and into a demonic lair in slow motion.
