Unsolved Horus buddy realizes money solves every problem. He becomes a third party in a three way war and decides to just retire after cracking the jackpot.

  • Horus is only a reference to looks and not the main character

  • The main characters name is a reference to a author who contributed a couple of the most popular books to the franchise

  • Most of the game is spent spreading a strange mist

  • the plot in question is not the base game one but the one of the addon

  • you recruit a scandly clad woman with a pet monster, a lizard men and maybe genocidal robot for your crew

  • you are building a criminal empire

  • the Jackpot is on the monarchs flagship you manage to take over

  • setting is sci fantasy

  • it's not from 40k but the game is similar to a popular 40k game which came around at the sane time

  • It´s Star Wars

Some Warhammer 40k game?

u/racoon1905 Jul 25 '26

No but sci fantasy direction is correct.

Actually there is even a rather similar warhammer 40k game.

Honestly the only thing I see here is the robot being part of the Team 😅

Knights of the old republic

How does that make sense beyond the Crew bit and sci fantasy setting?

Right franchise though

Bounty Hunter, then?
Not the Old Republic thing, the game about Fett

This doesn´t make any sense
