Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus ™ in IOS

Turn-based tactical battle RPG

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

86/100

Tacticus is arguably the best implementation of the Warhammer 40k universe on mobile to date. It captures the grimdark atmosphere perfectly but presents it through a highly accessible hexagonal tactical grid. The game is all about positioning; utilizing high ground and environmental cover is just as important as the stats of your units. Each faction—from the Ultramarines to the Necrons—feels unique, with abilities that mirror their tabletop counterparts.

The campaign missions are bite-sized, which is perfect for mobile play, but the 'Guild Raids' and 'Arena' modes provide the long-term strategic depth that 40k fans crave. The character models are surprisingly detailed for a mobile title, and seeing a Chainsword rev up to execute an Orc is always satisfying. It’s a 'gacha' game at its core, but the tactical gameplay is strong enough that it feels more like a strategy game first and a collector second.

Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus ™ is a turn-based tactical strategy game set in the eternal conflict of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 Universe. Experience the intense battles of the Space Marine, Imperial, Chaos, and Xenos on the go!

In Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus ™, you bring some of the universe’s most powerful warriors to lightning-fast tactical skirmishes where you are in full control and only superior tactics can deliver victory. Expand your collection across multiple factions to find new tactical possibilities as you bring your troops to battle and sweep the galaxy clear of all resistance!

New players and grizzled fans of the Warhammer universe alike will find challenge in Tacticus, as they progress and compete in various game modes, including PvE Campaigns, PvP, live events, Guild Raids and much more.

CREATE THE ULTIMATE WARBAND

It’s your task as a collector to build your collection into an elite league of warriors capable of meeting any challenge. Equip your heroes with the ultimate gear, wrestled from the hands of your enemies, to enhance their attacks, armor, and abilities on the battlefield. Not every warrior is ideal for every task, however: Make key strategic choices in who to promote and pick teammates with complimentary abilities to maximize your chances in battle!

ENGAGE IN TURN-BASED BATTLES

Strategic choice in how to build your squad is only the beginning. Once the enemy closes, you must take advantage of terrain and positioning, as well as deploying your troops’ weaponry, specific traits and specialist abilities, to prevail. Martial skill reigns supreme!

RISE TO THE TOP

Choose your alliances wisely! Collaborate within your guild in raids against some of the most dangerous beings of the galaxy. You must unleash your guild’s entire arsenal of heroes and tactical tricks to outsmart the relentless enemy and establish your guild's dominance on the top of the global leaderboards.
