Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team Review
August 8, 2011 // 0 Comments
The next chapter In the eternal story of the struggle between Space Marine and Ork has come in the form of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team, and pretty much the entirety of the game is explained by its title. It’s a Warhammer game, and you control a team that kills pretty much everything.
Kill Team is a 3/4 perspective shooter. Sometimes. Other times it’s a top-down shooter, and other times it’s a behind-the-back shooter. If you couldn’t tell by this point, the game has a couple problems with its camera, but I’ll get to that later. It’s a downloadable dual-stick shooter available for the Xbox and PS3 that seems to be built entirely for die-hard Warhammer fans and general lovers of carnage and death.
The story is insultingly simple. A massive Ork Kroozer (yeah, that’s how it’s spelled) is approaching earth, and it’s up to you to board the ship and disable it while slaughtering any Ork that crosses your path. And trust me, a lot of Orks will cross your path. There is no attempt whatsoever to make the game cinematic in any way, shape, or form. In fact, the only tidbits of story you get are through your omnipresent dispatcher that tells you where to go, and splash screens that come up when the game is loading. Even then, the dispatcher provides more hints than story and the splash screens rarely contain text past a few sentences. Simply put, the story of this game is: “Hey, look! Orks! Kill them good!”
