Our Expert Score

91/100

Warhammer 40,000: Freeblade is a spectacle of destruction. Controlling an Imperial Knight feels appropriately heavy and powerful. The way you tap to fire heavy bolters and swipe to unleash thermal cannons is incredibly intuitive and makes you feel like a true pilot of a god-machine.

The graphics were ahead of their time when it launched and still look fantastic today, especially the detailed armor customization. While it does have some free-to-play elements like crafting timers and gear upgrades, the core gameplay loop of stomping through Orks and Chaos forces is so satisfying that it’s easy to look past the monetization. It’s a must-play for 40k fans.

I love it, Just a few things to make it better
Mon Apr 15 2019 GTWJ789

I’ve been playing this game for about two days now and I can honestly say that it’s extremely fun. I love being a giant walking tank killing enemies by the dozen and watching trucks explode. I’m all about it! Things is that I feel like it needs a few little improvements to make it more satisfying. First off, when you’re going one on one with another giant robot, I want to see something cooler than a robot’s arm getting cut off. I mean no offense but thats pretty lame since literally every other enemy turned into either a cloud of blood or explodes. Why not after you cut off the arm, you do something like cut it with your sword right down the middle, or you shoot your canon at it and since it’s so weak it explodes! Main point is be creative and give me something more than something’s robot arm being destroyed. I want explosions! Second off I’m not paying for anything. I downloaded a free game and I expect it to be beatable FREE. I saw a lot of reviews saying that it’s pay to win, I haven’t seen anything besides “special offers”. I haven’t seen anything that would make it impossible to play without paying money yet (probably because I’ve only played for two days so far) but if this game becomes impossible because I don’t want to pay for weapons or armor, I’m literally done. Anyway, other than those two things, everything else in my opinion is perfect. I love this game to be honest.

AMAZING!!!! GAME THANKS TO WHOEVER MADE THIS

Now some people say it’s pay to play or win I say wrong first of all I haven’t spent a single cent so far and it’s been going great I got lots of good stuff for free not only that but I love multiplayer I am in local rank and my rank is 87 out of 3,498 people what I’m trying to say is if it’s to hard for you well don’t play but it isn’t pay to win or whatever else my opinion great game super fun have been playing five days not even a single problem and it’s challenging like when you finish a chapter you have to do patrols and campaigns which makes it fun I also got 22 achievements and other stuff the point is it is not like other people say also try the game maybe you’ll like it maybe not your choice just don’t lie about a game like that also its an awesome game only thing I’m looking forward to is that in multiplayer when I rip off the arm of another player and I hit it with that and its helm falls off maybe I can cut it down in half or something cause facing 1,234 players in multiplayer which I have beaten it’s still super hard cause I’m only 626 I’m not lying if you see slitheringbee or DESTROYER thats me bye great game by the way

40k? yes. Pay to win? Kind of. Problems? Yes.

I’m a big fan of this game, play it daily. Love the 40k universe and the lore behind it. Freeblade works well for what it’s trying to do. You can get through the campaign without any purchases and it isn’t exponentially harder if you don’t. Multiplayer is a bit different. You can buy gold, the premium currency, or find it. If you buy it, it is a lot easier to get valor chests and good supply drops. Overall, not extremely pay to win but with some aspects that are. But this game has problems. One is saving. What I tend to do is run 3 patrol missions every time I open the app and a couple of multiplayer battles if I am on wifi. If I’m not, patrols only. Then when I reconnect to wifi about 15-20 minutes later, all my save data from the last session is erased with no “load save” option. Once, I completed the last few patrols I needed to get the next chapter and completed it. I came back a little later and every bit of my progress was gone. Another issue is patrol medals. It makes sense to have us do a few patrols every chapter to keep us playing, but once you get past a certain point it’s 40+ medals per chapter and then you blaze through the campaign missions in a minuscule fraction of what it took to get there. But, I do like this game and will continue to play.

Fantastic, addictive

I never write App Store reviews but I’m making an exception for this game because I just can’t stop playing it. The production values are top notch in every regard, from the graphics and animations, sound effects, soundtrack, voice-overs, everything. The game is easy to pick up and play, with intuitive controls and missions that take about 1-3 minutes to complete, so it never feels like you’re locked in for a huge amount of time. The various weapons really let you customize your Knight and they genuinely change the way you have to approach different enemies. It’s rare to find a free-to-play game that just lets me have fun and doesn’t quickly gate itself behind a paywall, require purchases in order to win, or relentlessly try to get me to make in-app purchases; I felt good buying in-app items and gold with this game because I felt I’d gotten (and continue to get) a genuine value out of the free content, and that’s worth rewarding the developers for. Heck, the game convinced me to go out and buy an actual Imperial Knight model kit so I could make my Freeblade in real life. Good job, developers, your game rules.

I absolutely loved this game growing up as a kid and getting my first tablet, I played the crap out of this game knowing nothing about the warhammer universe and then came back after 6 years after spending two years basically learning the crap out of the lore and then remembered that this game was still on the play store, but that all came crashing down when the game kept crashing on me because at the time I was trying to find a warhammer mobile game that would actually interest me to play for hours and I meant any game that I could play but the wolf marine tactical game was sort of dull because I played mechanicus on my switch and then played tactical arena one that came out last year and then the card games, but this game was the one good game that I felt could have been more if we’ll you guys kept updating it, and then an update… and it fixed the crashing and I played more and more trying to unlock the items my dumb 10 year old brain couldn’t do

Fun, but a few gripes

I like a lot of the choices in this game; the ability to hop in whenever I want with little downtime is great. Feels powerful, mech times, the usual. Problems include a patrol I was in where the ork copter was above my camera range and none of my weapons could target or destroy it (forest); one of the multiplayer maps seems I almost never get enough enemies to get more/equal chances of fury; destructables aren't very telegraphed so I shoot everywhere; inventory management is just hording and discarding when you run out of space. Seems a few of the game's quality of life things (more forges, customizations) runs on rare currency I have <100 of (gold) as of the end of Chapter 4. But I do like this game, the on-rail amusement park camera with gun control is cool for a mobile game and still sells the power of holding so much artillery in your hands. Sometimes, the two-tanky enemy encounters aren't well telegraphed as to which I should target first, so I die a few times guessing which one to target. Dialogue seems a bit sped up, but maybe only I play for the story lol.

GAME COMPLETELY ERASED AND NO HELP FROM PIXEL!
Wed Dec 20 2017 Tydic

I had been playing this game for the past few months daily and even spent $$$ on some in app purchases, but then opened it this morning to play and my entire game was completely deleted!!!!! It seems like this is a widespread problem with every player at this point from what I’ve been reading, but Pixel has been absolutely no help in trying to help fix this and basically has ignored me as well as all others with this problem. I spent a lot of time and money on this app because it actually was a great game that I had planned to keep playing and purchasing more in app content as well, but if Pixel is unwilling to do something quickly to fix this as well as give the players that this happened to some sort of in game compensation for the inconvenience they have caused then I will continue to strongly urge EVERYBODY not to download or play anything produced by Pixel because they’ll screw you and leave you hanging. GET THIS FIXED AND COMPENSATE OUR TROUBLES PIXEL!!!

This game is loads of fun. As a 40k warhammer mobile game its close if not top of the line. Especially because it’s free. Only a few select items have to be bought. Everything else is accessible through in game currency and events pretty easily. The only problem is the saves. Progress is very easily wiped. I’ve lost hours of gameplay. Logging into Facebook and having the internet connected helps with this problem but there’s no guarantee. Hopefully this is will be eliminated in the future. The missions are fairly short and vary slightly in map and enemies. This allows for a quick game every now and then. The game does have a problem with certain weapons being clearly better in every way compared to others. Such as the graviton gun essentially being an overpowered stubber. Or the power fist just being straight up better then the chainsword. A little more help on how the multiplayer works in terms of the level of other knights would be appreciated. Other then those 4.8/5
