Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2
is a third-person shooter with strong hack-and-slash action elements. This hybrid-genre gameplay is supplemented by adventure and role-playing game (RPG) features.
The game combines these genres through its core gameplay loop and multiplayer modes:
Third-person shooter: A significant portion of combat involves using a wide array of ranged weapons, including iconic Warhammer 40,000 armaments like the Bolter, from a third-person perspective.
Hack-and-slash action: The game features intense, brutal melee combat. You can perform combos, heavy attacks, and executions with a chainsword and other weapons.
RPG/Character progression: As a live-service game, it includes deep customization for your Space Marine and a system for unlocking new cosmetic items, skills, and perks across six distinct classes.
Adventure: A narrative-driven campaign sends you on epic missions across far-flung planets in the grimdark setting.
Multiplayer and co-op: In addition to the single-player campaign, the game offers several online modes for players, including a cooperative "Operations" mode for up to three players and 6v6 competitive PvP.
