Warhammer 40,000: Storm of Vengeance is a lane strategy game developed Eutechnyx for the PC and IOS. Of all the WH40K games released, this is probably the worst for the PC, although to be fair, it wasn't exclusively meant for the PC. While it is still currently in beta, much of the fanbase and reviews have unanimously declared it a giant, hulking failure. Much of the flak comes from the PC community, where it has no chance to garner a decent playerbase due to its primitive gameplay and design. The $9.99 pricetag is also not winning it any favors, and the fact that the last game developed by Eutechnyx was Ride to Hell: Retribution, which has been universally panned as one of the worst video games ever made makes it clear that if you want a good 40k game you should look somewhere else.
Gameplay
SoV is a lane strategy game based on the popular casual game: Plants vs Zombies, but everyone's like the zombies. You play as Space Marines or the Orks (The Imperial Guard are slated to be playable as DLC). The battlefield is divided into five lanes, each with a single build area. These can be built through spending points, which are generated through the equivalent of sunflowers.
Despite all this crap, however, it does still hold it's own as an mobile game and nothing more. Much like the game it was based on, it is fun as a casual game; something you play on the go that's mostly fun and not mentally demanding. Because PCs normally cater more complex and challenging games, even with the $10 pricetag, it flopped on that department.
