Can I Run Warhammer 40,000: Gladius?
Proxy Studios released Warhammer 40,000: Gladius in 2018. It is a strategy game, published by Slitherine Ltd.. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. It carries 166 achievements. Only some of the game is mapped to a controller. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. With more than 8 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. It is localised into 6 languages according to the store listing. Critics scored it 71 on Metacritic. Split screen on one PC is supported, a feature most releases have quietly dropped. At 8 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. It is not Windows only, with Linux covered too.
