In Freeblade, you play as a pilot of a Knight suit of powered armour. The Imperium of Man, as humanity’s empire is called has stagnated into a dogma-laden, superstitious and decaying empire where life is cheap and where being eaten by demonic horrors from beyond space time isn’t a fairy tale it’s almost a certainty next to death and taxes which is where you come in. The Warhammer 40K universe is as dark as it gets, set in a distant future where a pan-galactic human empire consisting of millions of worlds is constantly embroiled in war with the equivalent of Space Elves, Space Orcs and robotic undead Necrons as well as gibbering demons constantly vying to turn humanity into tasty snacks. That’s no surprise either seeing the setting.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, so goes the popular tagline in Games Workshop’s titular post dystopian Warhammer 40,000 game universe and at the pace of games that they are releasing, there’s plenty of fighting to go around.
