Rogue Trader is my first Warhammer 40k game and it has enthralled me. What other great games in the 'verse have I been missing out on? (lemmy.world)

Through a little research, I believe RT is the only RPG currently, which is unfortunate because I think it's a great way to soak up the setting.

I have my eye on Mechanicus, because it looks very XCOM influenced. I like the smaller-scale squad-based tactics much more than the army-scale grand strategy/RTS style.

Any other suggestions? I know because of what the original game is, the RTS ones are probably going to be the majority of the PC titles, but there seems to be some representation in just about any genre. I even saw an Ork dogfighting (planes) game.

Space Marine 2 and Vermintide 2 are pretty decent shooters. SM is kinda like Gears of War and Vermintide is essentially Left 4 Dead.

Er... Vermintide is just Warhammer, but not 40k. Basically the same but humans don't have the tech; the rat people do.

There is Darktide, which is the 40k counterpart to Vermintide

I'd hardly call Vermintide 2 a shooter. Only a couple of classes can shoot at all, it's more of a (very good IMO) melee game. I think Darktide is more of a shooter.

I mean, yeah. But the game's genre is still mostly FPS fare (as stated it's pretty much L4D's gameplay loop). Just think of it like shooting extremely close range guns that look like axes and hammers :p
