Warhammer 40,000: Freeblade Reviews

by TrrblSwftSwd

...for a week before re-enabling me quietly. In desperation, I even deleted my game and reinstalled it in hopes that the problem had lay with a corrupted app data AND having to reset my phone to retrieve my hard won status as a 55th level player placing in the top ten ranking every week. I confirmed that they were locking me out based on my Game Center ID because the same thing happened when I tried to play on my iPad. I don't know why they did this since they never responded to my emails, but I presume that they decided to reinstate me after they determined that I had re-started as a entry-level player. THIS was the last straw. I've been plagued with many bugs in this game, but if this is how they treat a loyal, "paying" (and believe me, I've paid) customer/patron, I'm DONE!!! I'm walking away....

Update: OK, I eventually came back to claw my way back to the top again, and they did it again: they lost my profile in their cloud, wiping out my months of effort. No point in trying to contact their support team. They never reply. REALLY?!

The game is visually great, but there is no way to tell how many items I have and how much inventory space I have left. It is unclear weather or not boosters count as items and take up inventory space. There is no area where I can see my entire inventory in a group and there is no way to trash boosters.
I have gotten to a point where all of my war gear is good (about 9% critical strike damage on multiple pieces of armor) so I don’t want to trash it but it also takes me a couple days to get enough ore to forge them into new gear. How does the game decide what the stats will be for the forged gear? It doesn’t appear to always be strait addition of qualities. In the forge, does the valor chance bar mean the chance to get a new and different quality or the chance for the qualities in the old war gear to carry over into the new war gear? Why doesn’t the qualities for 1 piece of gear carry over into the new piece of gear? For example, I can forge 3 pieces of armor together that each have the effect of +8 Valor(or something close to that), but the new piece of armor will have completely different effects. The +8 Valor wasn’t added to or even carried over to the new piece of armor, it was simply removed.

Before I say anything more, I love the game. I’ve been getting more and more into Warhammer recently, and knowing this game had been out a while, I got it to further my interest, and it was pretty neat. Nothing too special about it other than it’s Warhammer themed, but a little rail-shooter is nice to play on occasion. Nice and simple, I don’t need to think as much as I would a triple A game, or something similar. But I entered Warhammer40000 today (just a few minutes ago, in fact) and all my progress is gone. I hadn’t progressed much in terms of players who place at the top of the multiplayer season, or the events, but it was definitely a few weeks worth. I have no recollection of deleting Warhammer40000 , and I don’t see a “Reset Progress” button. It only makes me more frustrated to see that the Game Center achievements are still listed. So I don’t know what happened. I know this isn’t on me, and I see other reviews that describe similar problems. Y’all need to find out what’s doing that, cause it’s certainly ruined my experience playing your game.

This is an amazing game. Looks amazing, good story line, a ton of content to go along with. Multiplayer is fun with a great chance for cool prizes.

All this said, “customer care”is awful and gives little actual resolution. After multiple data losses, costing days of progress, I had submitted multiple tickets. I outlined what I lost. Sent screen shots. Detailed how I was playing and the platform I used. After more then a week, I got a basic reply telling me it was a known issue for data loss on Apple products and given a rather poor work around (change your paint job and force save for those needing to know). There was no offer of a time for a fix. No real offer to help make up for time lost. Just not good. If customer care responded in a timely manner, fixed amazingly critical bugs, or at least offered some sort of compensation when a player submits actual proof of loss, I’d give this a far better rating. Enjoy the game, but don’t assume anything you earn along the way will be there the next time you turn on the game.

I know everybody has better than the iPad mini 2, but that’s what I have. The game runs good on my prehistoric device but there are some changes I would like to see.

1. Melee. Whenever you kill whatever it is in melee, say a mega dread or whatever, you always walk past the dead enemy but reappear in the same spot you where before the engagement. It’s just a little pet peeve of mine that a game flows smoothly.

2. Auto Cannon. When you fire your mounted weapon, it targets all the enemies on screen, even if they happen to be behind a wall. I don’t know if this is the case with all mounted weapons, but it’s a bit unrealistic when your light weapon cannot fire through walls, whilst your mounted can.

3. Valor Medals. Earning Multiplayer targeted wargear is great, but it takes quiet a while to earn it. After you receive your daily valor medals, you have to earn them. I would like to have a valor multiplier in place so it’s not as hard to earn a crate. What I mean is, one valor crate is worth 60 medals (of course you can spend in-game currency on it too) but winning a multiplayer battle is worth 5 medals. That’s a 12 multiplayer win streak to get a Single crate. I personally believe that these crates should be less expensive, or should have a medal multiplier for each win.

Thank you for your time, developers!

Yesterday, I was halfway through a game when I needed to go do something and shut Warhammer40000 down. Today when I opened it, I realized that I had lost two experience levels, a chaos relic, and some good gear. It essentially reset everything I did yesterday. Could be my fault for shutting down the game but doing that shouldn’t be the reason it doesn’t save everything I did yesterday. I understand I will receive no score on the level I started but they should not reset everything that I did finish. I’m pretty sure when it says”returning to the fist of caliban” means that it is saving whatever you did. But I guess just shutting down one game erases everything you’ve done that day. It’s happened to me before and I’d like to see it fixed. Otherwise it’s a great game.

I like a lot of the choices in this game; the ability to hop in whenever I want with little downtime is great. Feels powerful, mech times, the usual. Problems include a patrol I was in where the ork copter was above my camera range and none of my weapons could target or destroy it (forest); one of the multiplayer maps seems I almost never get enough enemies to get more/equal chances of fury; destructables aren't very telegraphed so I shoot everywhere; inventory management is just hording and discarding when you run out of space. Seems a few of the game's quality of life things (more forges, customizations) runs on rare currency I have <100 of (gold) as of the end of Chapter 4. But I do like this game, the on-rail amusement park camera with gun control is cool for a mobile game and still sells the power of holding so much artillery in your hands. Sometimes, the two-tanky enemy encounters aren't well telegraphed as to which I should target first, so I die a few times guessing which one to target. Dialogue seems a bit sped up, but maybe only I play for the story lol.

If you want something to pass the time, I highly recommend this game. As a rails shooter, I like it.

The controls, on the other hand, leave more to be desired. Having to press harder on the screen to zoom in with your light weapon is extremely frustrating if you’re not used to it - you’ll find yourself using your heavy weapon when all you wanted to do was zoom, and same for when you want to use the heavy weapon.

The developers should take advantage of the motion control features to give the player the immersive experience of feeling like a turret gunner. By doing this, zooming with your light weapon can be toggled (as well as depth, maybe a scroll bar) and switching to your heavy weapon could be as simple as a button tap. Firing would also be a separate button to give us more control and accuracy.

I’m a big fan of this game, play it daily. Love the 40k universe and the lore behind it. Freeblade works well for what it’s trying to do. You can get through the campaign without any purchases and it isn’t exponentially harder if you don’t. Multiplayer is a bit different. You can buy gold, the premium currency, or find it. If you buy it, it is a lot easier to get valor chests and good supply drops. Overall, not extremely pay to win but with some aspects that are. But this game has problems. One is saving. What I tend to do is run 3 patrol missions every time I open Warhammer40000 and a couple of multiplayer battles if I am on wifi. If I’m not, patrols only. Then when I reconnect to wifi about 15-20 minutes later, all my save data from the last session is erased with no “load save” option. Once, I completed the last few patrols I needed to get the next chapter and completed it. I came back a little later and every bit of my progress was gone. Another issue is patrol medals. It makes sense to have us do a few patrols every chapter to keep us playing, but once you get past a certain point it’s 40+ medals per chapter and then you blaze through the campaign missions in a minuscule fraction of what it took to get there. But, I do like this game and will continue to play.

I believe this game is one of the most fun games I’ve ever played, but I’m here to mainly address an issue, relating to the “Patrol” missions.
In one of these missions, at one point you come against two ork choppers and a squigoth. You can kill the squigoth and the first ork chopper fine, but the second one is out of your field of vision, and is also above your attack range. This means that you cannot progress, since you need to kill all enemies in an area to progress. I initially thought I could rescan the area for a different mission, but the area simply gave me the Sam mission the next day! I tried to use a different area, but the same thing happened! Even when I rescan, it still gives me the same mission! So please, fix this error, I need this to be fixed in order to progress through the campaign.

I have loved this game since day one, it is an amazing game set in the 40k universe and had amazing gameplay and storyline. It had all the makings of a great game. Had. The major downfall that lead me to become VERY irritated was the save data. It is constantly not saving the progress that I often have spent the day working on Just to have it completely deleted in a heartbeat. And I’m not talking about several hours of save data loss, I’m talking several LEVELS of save loss. Also, when looking for a manual save button, there was none which lead to more frustration. Devs, can you please correct this? I do enjoy this game very much and would like to continue using it but with out the extreme save loss. Thank you. (Also it seems others are having this problem so it probably would be very important to look into.)

So ima start with thx for a great game. The orbs and chaos forces are worthy opponents. But I do have a few complaints. I don’t get why I have to sign into Facebook or Game Center to play online. Plus, you removed Game Center but it’s still up there. I’m 12. Why would I have a Facebook profile?! I don’t. I don’t know why that’s necessary, especially when the game is rated 12+. So please make it so all you need is an internet connection. Because it does get annoying fighting orbs and chaos for the rest of the game. I mean, it’s interesting when you find a new enemy, like lord of skulls and heldrake. But once I complete the campaign, there’s not going to be anything to do. And why should need to buy something just to get loyalty rank, which is required for daily rewards after day 7!!! Like come on! Disable that! Otherwise it’s a good game but you really should some of these issues.

by Laurabuggggg

Warhammer40000 IS GREAT! I love being a giant mech and destroying stuff! But there is a suggestion I have for you developers. At some point in the first few minutes of the game, it says something about changing your paint job to strike fear into your opponents. Well, how about make it actually happen? In the next update, make it so that you have a fear meter for your enemies. Make it so that different paint colors have different fear levels (eg. red has a better fear level than green). Make it so that the bigger your fear level is, the higher chance of the bad guys running away from you. This is a suggestion that I want to see in the next update. Please respond!

I never write App Store reviews but I’m making an exception for this game because I just can’t stop playing it. The production values are top notch in every regard, from the graphics and animations, sound effects, soundtrack, voice-overs, everything. The game is easy to pick up and play, with intuitive controls and missions that take about 1-3 minutes to complete, so it never feels like you’re locked in for a huge amount of time. The various weapons really let you customize your Knight and they genuinely change the way you have to approach different enemies. It’s rare to find a free-to-play game that just lets me have fun and doesn’t quickly gate itself behind a paywall, require purchases in order to win, or relentlessly try to get me to make in-app purchases; I felt good buying in-app items and gold with this game because I felt I’d gotten (and continue to get) a genuine value out of the free content, and that’s worth rewarding the developers for. Heck, the game convinced me to go out and buy an actual Imperial Knight model kit so I could make my Freeblade in real life. Good job, developers, your game rules.

by EnderDude2234

Let’s start with the good: this is amazing. The variety of gear and customization options is wide and looks epic as all heck no matter what you choose. The campaign story and the fact that you ARE a giant robot and not just in one is cool. The fighting mechanics are original and like nothing I’ve seen yet in a game. The graphics are detailed, the names of things themselves are creative as all get out, and it never ceases to amaze me the sheer amount of detail that goes into this. The two problems are that the best light weapon, the Graviton Gun, is unobtainable without payment in real life money, similar with coins. The second problem is that you have to do way to much late game to get to the next campaign chapter that it becomes monotonous. Other than that, amazing game 10/10 would recommend.

by Zay 15

Hi this is an AMAZING game and I’m literally addicted! Graphics are up to a standard and game play is awesome! I just got this and haven’t even done anything for the past 4 hours but this! This is one of my Favorite games ever and only have one thing I’d recommend. The thing is is that this game should let you change the auto run and let you move freely and happily. Awesome game though and cool content! If the developer is reading this then please try and make it at least 5 times more fun! I still love the game and the game is so fun. I’d pay money every day just to play it! Oh and another recommendation, please take away the blood and make it “for younger” people. The game could probably be a 10 and up game without the blood. I am a huge fan of your games so please make more awesome content like this!!!!

by Atomic0534

Seriously, been playing this game for years and is by far my favorite game on mobile. Would HIGHLY suggest this game to anyone. If I’m being honest, though, there are a few problems, mainly being a customization problem (not huge problem) and the ads. The ads don’t actually do anything, and the only way to get out of them is to just close out the game entirely. They are completely optional though, so you only have this problem if you click a button with the ad option. Another thing is the forge and making helms for your knight (big robot) once you get into the highest level, you can forge helmets but there either looks like a wierd face with no helmet or a helm that makes your face look like a robot duck. Other than that, best game by far.

by Mania_Knight

40k I just love how this game brings the titan out of me, but battle animations need an update because in Patrols and in the campaign missions the combat animations aren’t at there best I would like to see more than just the same motions over and over again it would make it better if there from this third person point of view an epic battle between these giant robot mech suits (I looked at pictures I know there mechs) and like if you miss you get hit like you do in the game but like also make it so it’s like you also have the chance to block an attach from them to and that the cpu enemy mech can also block to if they can could you also add like a feature were you could also dodge attaches to if you can’t block the in coming attach ( by the way I have already finished the game) anyway that’s all and if you could add those features that would be great because if you did it would make this game absolutely epic.

by NewLunarRepublicGrunt

This game is loads of fun. As a 40k warhammer mobile game its close if not top of the line. Especially because it’s free. Only a few select items have to be bought. Everything else is accessible through in game currency and events pretty easily. The only problem is the saves. Progress is very easily wiped. I’ve lost hours of gameplay. Logging into Facebook and having the internet connected helps with this problem but there’s no guarantee. Hopefully this is will be eliminated in the future. The missions are fairly short and vary slightly in map and enemies. This allows for a quick game every now and then. The game does have a problem with certain weapons being clearly better in every way compared to others. Such as the graviton gun essentially being an overpowered stubber. Or the power fist just being straight up better then the chainsword. A little more help on how the multiplayer works in terms of the level of other knights would be appreciated. Other then those 4.8/5

by 5678iscool

I love the game, and have been playing it for a while but there are some things I would like added and changed. A co op mini campaign would be super fun, especially if it included a different enemy, like chaos marines of another god or another xeno. Also, for one of the patrol mission, I don’t remember the id, but I can say it is an ork patrol in the regular woods, at the end there is a mega dread, some infantry and two defkoptas. Well, one of the defkoptas goes offscreen and is untargetable even by carapace mounted weapons and I have found that the only way to destroy it is by using the lightning cannon. But here is the kicker, the level doesn’t end until it is destroyed and even though you can’t attack it, it can still attack you. So if you ever look at this, please try to fix it
