Warhammer’s Tyranids can be tough to placate in a standard 4X technique game. They’d at all times offer you bum offers in your biomass, sending heretical missionaries to unfold the nice phrase about biomass, claiming they noticed your biomass first so it’s rightfully theirs, rivalling your tourism business with such points of interest as Biomass World and Eurobiomass, delivering notes sneering at your meagre biomass, and tainting your tradition with tv broadcasts like Biomass Hunt, Biomass Judy, and NCIS: Biomass.
Thankfully there isn’t any diplomacy within the grim darkness of the far future, solely conflict, so the Tyranid faction which hit Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics Of War right now as DLC will merely devour you, your cities, and the soil beneath your ft as they amass biomass.
“There are several ways to increase your biomass,” explains a primer on what makes the Tyranids different. Don’t I do know it. But somewhat than gorging on leftover Christmas chocs, the spacebugs are extra about devouring you, and even their very own items. Glory to the biomass. Long reside the brand new flesh.
They’re difficult blighters too, with their toxic weapons, acidic blood that may burn enemy items placing them, brainbugs who analysis opponents throughout fights, tunnels beneath the battlefield… good luck, chummo.
The Tyranids add-on is out now on Steam and GOG for £11.39/€12.49/$14.99. You’ll want the bottom game too, obvs. I hear Gladius is fairly good? Mostly from Fraser Brown’s pre-launch preview, but in addition elsewhere. What say you, gang?
