Parent Pro-Tip

This game is a complex turn-based strategy game that can significantly boost your child's problem-solving and strategic thinking skills. It offers a challenging single-player campaign and competitive online play. Be aware of the presence of microtransactions and the potentially competitive and 'brutal' nature of the online environment. While direct chat with strangers is not available, online leaderboards can still lead to social comparison. The game contains a high level of violence, typical of the Warhammer 40,000 franchise.
