In this episode of the Low Meins Asylum Show, we dive into the dark, gritty universe of Warhammer 40K and how it might just be the godfather of modern sci-fi gaming. From DOOM to StarCraft, Halo to Gears of War, developers across the industry have borrowed themes, visuals, and even entire factions from the Warhammer universe. We break it all down: the history, the aesthetics, and the undeniable influence of 40K on your favorite franchises. Did DOOM really copy Warhammer? Was StarCraft just a remix of the 40K factions? And why does everything in sci-fi feel just a little bit grimdark these days? Tap in—we’re talking facts, history, and gaming culture with zero filters. Press play, share with a gamer friend, and welcome to the asylum!
