This isn't just any ordinary update; it's a massive expansion that's bringing the dark and fearsome Drukhari into the mix. Doing so on Linux as well as being Steam Deck playable. The Drukhari, also known as Dark Eldar, are notorious for their love of causing pain and suffering. A group of ancient, wicked beings who live in vast, hidden cities in another dimension. They're all about suppressing their psychic powers to stay under the radar. They are also famous for their brutal raids and lightning-fast attacks. In this expansion, you get to experience their world and tactics. Let's dive into what makes this content stand out. The Drukhari are powered by the Power from Pain. This means the more chaos and suffering they cause, the stronger they become. It's a unique mechanic that rewards you for being aggressive and wreaking havoc on the battlefield. Destroying enemy units gives you influence points, thanks to their Soul Hunger trait. It's like earning points for being a top raider. Speaking of raiding, the Drukhari have some unique structures and units that reflect their raiding lifestyle. Their outposts grow slowly but can be boosted by controlling more of them. The Raider Fortress is impressive – it's like a gateway for launching attacks.
Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Drukhari out now
Now, the heroes in this content are something else. You have the Archon, a cunning leader who's great at targeting and taking down important enemies. Then there's the Cronos, an Engine of Pain, which sounds as terrible as it is. It helps heal your troops nearby. And let's not forget the Haemonculus, who keeps your units fighting longer with his brutal tools. The units themselves are a reflection of Drukhari culture. They like their blades, so expect a lot of melee combat advantages, like bonus armor penetration. You've got units like Wracks, Wyches, Scourges, and Incubi. Each with their own unique abilities and styles. Plus, there are some useful vehicles like Raider transports, Ravager gunships, and Razorwing Jetfighters.
The Reviews:
Fans of the Drukhari are eager to celebrate the unique, aggressive play style this expansion brings. They're liking the rush of stepping out of Commorragh for raids and are very impressed by the clever integration of lore into gameplay mechanics. Like the Cronos Parasite engine that heals only after inflicting damage. However, not everyone's experience is shining. Some players are reporting technical issues, like frequent crashes and difficulties in accessing the DLC, leading to frustration. A common sentiment among these users is that the expansion feels a bit incomplete, especially when thinking of its roster size to the price. While the eagerness for the Drukhari faction is there, the call for bug fixes and possibly waiting for a discount before diving in seems to be a wise move for those still on the fence. Warhammer 40,000: Gladius has been a hit since its Linux and Steam Deck playable release in 2018. It's a strategy title where different factions battle for control over a planet that's full of ancient relics. This new content adds another layer to that strategy, giving you new ways to play and conquer in the game. This new DLC for Warhammer 40,000: Gladius is also a game changer. It brings a new play style centered around the Drukhari and their unique traits and tactics. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the world of Gladius, this content offers a fresh and exciting game that's worth checking out. So, gear up and get ready to join the ranks of these master raiders and experience the thrill of their dark and twisted world. Available on Steam and GOG. Priced at $14.99 USD / £12.79 / 14,79€.
