Community Insight:
WWWAAAARRRRRHHHAAMMMMMMERRRR!!! Ok well its a five star x infinity! Honestly wish we could give more stars but cant. We really really wish it had the SOUL DRINKERS emblems and such but Ill do what we can with what there is. Thanks for making this ! We wish we could play the other ones but our iOS stops at 12 and so we lose out for now. And great job! Thankx and all! SARPEDON! SARPEDON! SARPEDON! SARPEDON! SARPEDON.
We love it but we feel like it needs a little bit more customization little bit more modernized ig like some kind of new update but still, love the melee fights.
Its a really fun game with a massive campaign. And its an accurate game to the 40k universe. We also love the customization and gameplay as an imperial knight. We would pay for this game.
Just as fun as playing as playing on those display tablets in target pre covid.
This is a great game! It has a few problems, like poor camera positioning in some places, but the sheer epicness of this game easily surpasses it. The campaign is fun, patrols are fun, multiplayer is fun, painting your knight is fun, and the AR mode is cool.
Plenty of Destructible environments that make it feel like there is an actual artillery piece attached to a mobile platform. Enemies reacting realistically to cannon shells their own size impacting them at 900 meters per second, or plasma.
Crazy good, best Warhammer game out there, really makes you love the big stompy robots !!!!FOR THE EMPEROR.
Warning though its possible to lose all your data sadly like us we lost all our stuff and probably wont get it back ever we like it but yeah:(.
We didnt even have to play more than two levels to know this is exactly what Ive been looking for for so long a game where you could play as a an imperial knight instead of commanding it is such a breath of fresh air from other warhammer games that are just rts, dont get us wrong we still like rts but a game where we could play in the battle is what we were looking for, overall great and dynamic game.
Legitimately the best free mobile game you can get.
Really fun game but the dlcs are wild especially the knorne one man.
Im new to the 40k universe and this game is smooth, challenging, and immersive you should try it out if you are a fan of 40k.
Overall good game if your a Warhammer fan would recommend.
Okay after playing the game for over a week in 2025 it seems like the game isnt pay to progress as we have thought. We just remembered struggling back when the game came out on the 6s, maybe we just wasnt dedicated to play the game back then as we are now. But we have been a free to play user and we have yet to get stuck behind a paywall to progress, which is great. Unfortunately the game seems to be sold to a different development team who no longer supports the game.
We were minding our own business and then this knight walks up and so us and our guys were like hey they sent one knight to come and attack us and we thought it was gonna be easy pickings but no, he did a somersault over a demon engine and blew it back to the warp.
Its a wonderful game but theirs some bugs like in one of the forest patrols for the Orks the helicopters sometimes go off screen so you cant hit them and your stuck there.
We used to play this on all the Verizon iPads while our mom showed old times.
This game is impressive, always engaging and full of new surprises.
Its good.. Just a bit pay to win.
Its so fun and cool l love this game and we love it so much we gave the game a 5 stars.
Warhammer 40k Freeblade provides the best quality,story, and gameplay just for a mobile game! 10/10, and we would recommend this game.
Although we had our doubts we downloaded a few different mecha games that we found and this was the first one that we actually enjoy playing although we just started playing the graphics, customizability, and overall gameplay is very good.
This phone game has good graphics for both characters and backgrounds. The story of this campaign progressed well, in that there are different maps and introduction of new enemies. This game also offers the chance to battle other players robots and gain points from winning. This game over all doesnt disappoint. What upsets us is that, we have experienced several occasions when our hours of game plays are lost and unable to be recover. Therefore, we are forced to replay the same missions or complete the same patrols again.
Really good game that gives you the feeling that you are actually piloting an imperial knight! We recommend this for all 40k fans.
Good details and war and tactics.
If this game was a card game we probably wouldnt play it but because its not we can play it all day.
Fun to play and pass time could use an update sometime.
We like big robot dudes with giant chainsaw hands.
Im pretty new to 40k and this game was genuinely a surprise to us and does pretty well for a mobile game trying to make literal IMPERIAL KNIGHTS fun and interesting to play. Coming from Tacticus this feel a lot more rewarding and less gamble your cash away, hopefully the content keeps coming.
It is easily the best warhammer Mobile game we play whenever we go on trips the campaign is super fun and so is the multiplayer the only thing we want is the loyalty rank requirement lowered otherwise lets purg some some green skins FOR THE EMPEROR.
Still a satisfying offering to come back to and wreak havoc upon the foes of the Imperium.
Simple yet engaging, this game perfectly captures the power of the imperial knights.
This was the game we played in 2016 or 17 and we are still in love with this game.
Its just good bro like YOU BETTER DOWNLOAD NOWWWW.
Love to shoot and just be a part of the warhammer universe. We dearly appreciate all the love that went into the lore of the game.
We think that controller support for things like the backbone would be great.
Been playing it for a long time and had fun:).
As soon as we started, it was our favorite.
If your looking for fast action and good lord this is the game for you.
The game is amazing, combat flows and is fun, we even got our brother on board. Only thing we were curious about is it possible to add controller functions? We recently got a back bone and would love to be able to use it for the game. Thank you in advance for reading.
We have played Freeblade before at the Apple Phone store, and we love this game. We used to struggle playing this game on our old phone, but now, we are good at playing this game. We are pretending that the enemies or the bad guys are one of the Mr. Bean Empire and the good guys are one of the Gummibar and Friends alliance. LOL. We are fighting against the Mr. Bean Imperial Army, although we are being friendly with them.
This game is extremely fun and we like the giant titan fights, but honestly this could be better all that has to be done is to make this game on Xbox or pc then just add a price that isnt extremely high, then add the ability to move freely and walk wherever the player wants. Then add different executions like in warhammer space marine 2. Make the mission longer, maybe even just as long as some of the missions in warhammer space marine.
Its so fun the mechanics for the mech are just amazing.
When we first played it we thought it would be not so good but later on it was so much fun.
Ive been playing this game for a few years, we made it to top 10 at one point, and Ive enjoyed every bit of it. The graphics arent the best and cutscenes can be a bit janky but overall its not that bad. We always play while blasting Doom music on our headphones. The player count is on the lower end, and youll occasionally see people with racist usernames (pls implement a censoring system), but the player base is pretty chill overall. Great game for turning off your brain and blasting Orks with anti-tank weapons as a 50 foot cyborg. Great game, wish Id discovered it sooner.
It is all about Warhammer(war game)our dad taught us all about it.
This is amazing gameplay while playing we feel like we can take on a chaos god one problem however, Im at a point where we have really good gear but in order to move on in the campaign we need one more star and when we try to replay a previous mission it wanted us to waste in game currency to get weaker gear to replay the mission and we dont even have enough to do all the stuff it wants us to so we just cant even play the campaign anymore.
Dont get us wrong we love this game! But when your playing on pvp mode its kinda annoying how they can have much better stuff then you other then that 10/10 game.
We rlly love the dread noghts to see them fight and like they can help of be enemy like the tanks/Rinos and we want to save the skins because we keep needing to recolor since theres the new update of the random paint jobs.
To the devs we will pay money for support! The game needs patches and bug fixes.
