The plot of the games in the series Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine takes place in the titular science fiction world. The first installment of the series takes us to the planet Graia, which is the World-Cause, a giant weapons factory for the soldiers of the Empire. When it falls victim to an invasion by Orcs, the Space Marines, or more precisely - the Ultramarines, or cybernetically and biologically modified soldiers wreaking havoc among the Emperor's enemies, spring into action.

The essence of gameplay is dynamic clashes with hordes of enemies, which we fight, using both a wide range of firearms and the hero's iconic weapon - a hybrid of sword and chainsaw, known as Chainsword.. Unlike in many other TPSs, Captain Titus' tactic is not to hide behind cover, but to push forward with a battle cry on his lips.
