Reception



Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.
Luke Plunkett of Kotaku gave a positive review and said: "My favourite thing about this entire game is its voice acting, which takes a solid strategy game and turns it into a memorable 40K experience."
Joe Robinson of PCGamesN summarized the game as "[a] solid turn-based strategy experience that explores the Space Marine power fantasy, marred by humdrum mission design."
Jon Bolding of IGN gave a positive review and said: "The momentum-based tactical system and broad customizability of the forces you lead, combined with randomization in the mission setups, gives you a fun campaign with a tasty side dish of multiplayer skirmish."
Matt Bassil of Wargamer reviewed the Necrons expansion and summarized: "The Warhammer 40,000 Battlesector – Necrons DLC is a well-made unit pack, but a unique story or a better realised campaign mode would go a long way to improving its overall value. The toys are all there, but they could do with a better box."
Battlesector was included on Eurogamer's list of "The best Warhammer 40k games to play in 2022". PC Gamer listed the game 10th on its list of best Warhammer 40,000 games.
