Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team is a top down view, perspective correct, 3d arcade shooter, with twin stick control set in the Warhammer 40,000 future fantasy universe. Players play as Space Marines attemping to halt a Ork invasion spaceship, facing orks and later, tyranids; four Space Marine classes are playable. The game supports single player and split screen multiplayer modes.[1]

The game received average and favourable reviews on both platforms, being described as generally enjoyable or fun, but let down by a short campaign, lack of online multiplayer, and a limited appeal to non Warhammer:40,000 fans.[4][5]

The game included a bonus weapon for the use in multiplayer mode in the full price game Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, obtained by completing a level.[6]
