About the game
Get ready for some intense action! Kill Team throws you right into the battlefield of the 41st Millennium, but with a much more intimate focus than the original Warhammer 40,000. Think fast tactical combat, with smaller squads and fewer models to manage. It's your chance to lead your crew, whether they're Space Marines, Orks, or any other faction you fancy, through tense, action-packed missions. Every game is an opportunity to upgrade your warriors, evolving their skills and turning a rookie soldier into a battle-hardened veteran. The feel is very similar to 40K, but here we're talking about moment-to-moment action, where every shot and every move counts. Prepare to roll dice, use line of sight to your advantage, and measure every inch of the battlefield. It's a game that shines in both quick matches and campaigns where your squad grows and develops. If you enjoy the Warhammer 40K universe and want a more focused and agile experience, Kill Team is your go-to. Just be aware that the game requires a significant amount of English reading, okay?
