Reviews

“Rites Of War is a combination of two of my favourite wargames, Warhammer 40k running on a modified Panzer General II engine.”
8/10 – Eurogamer

Re-release

Originally released in 1999, Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War is a strategy title built on the engine of the wargame classic Panzer General II. It captivated players with its strategic depth and its unique Eldar perspective. This is the first time the game is available on Steam, with adjustments to support modern systems (see "WHAT’S INSIDE THIS RELEASE" in the section below).

About This Game

We have come to witness and to sacrifice. Our words we give to honour. Our hearts to battle. Our essence to he who awakens. The time for battle is once again upon us. The bloody hand will point the way.

LEAD THE POWERFUL ELDAR WARRIORS IN A DESPERATE STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL!

In a galaxy dominated by the uncaring Empire of Man, the mystic Eldar must battle the evil, bio-engineered Tyranids!
Rites of War thrusts you into the electrifying Warhammer 40,000 universe.

Based on the award-winning Panzer General II game system, this turn-based strategy game is easy to play, but filled with deep strategies that are a challenge to master. Substantially upgraded from its famous predecessor, units are twice as large and animate when they move, attack and die. Wage a full-scale Eldar campaign built around careful planning and tactical mastery.

WHAT’S INSIDE THIS RELEASE

This edition updates Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War to run smoothly on modern Windows systems, delivering improved stability and enhanced compatibility. Mouse responsiveness has been refined for a smoother overall experience. Steam achievements have been added, and the Scenario Editor has been updated for compatibility with modern systems.

FEATURES

  • 70 diverse 3D-rendered, animated units from the Warhammer 40,000 universe

  • A 24-mission campaign with a tightly crafted storyline, detailed atmosphere, and varied victory conditions

  • Additional scenarios let you command Tyranid and Imperial forces

  • A glory point system that lets you build and customize armies with different unit types, wargear, and warrior skills
