The combat is complex, fun, and very innovative. Image via Owlcat A lot of 4X is there that puts Dark Heresy somewhere in-between Baldur's Gate and Mechanicus, as you also have to position your heroes before the fight, much like you'd do in the latter.

One of the heroes in the alpha, the Acolyte, has a sniper rifle that enables him to enter something like V.A.T.S. from Fallout, where each body part has a percentage to be hit. This sort of variation between each of the weapons and characters makes the combat super fun, replayable, and even complex, allowing your tactical and strategic self to truly shine in each situation.

Of course, this is set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, which I've been bawling over for the past few weeks in light of all the different announcements. The setting, the grim darkness, the factions, everything is represented, well-developed, and stylish, as you'd come to expect from a 40K IP.

Overall, what Owlcat has done here is superb, and given that it's an alpha and not the full game, I cannot wait to see what else they're cooking behind the scenes.

The full release is likely sometime in late 2026 or even early 2027, so there's plenty of time to add a lot more than what's been shown so far.
