Games Like Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War (Classic)

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 the 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.

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.
