Similar to Creative Assembly's Total War: WARHAMMER games, Tindalos' aim with Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 seems to be to recreate the feeling of playing the tabletop game in a video game setting. Whereas the former is based on the well-known fantasy game, Armada 2 is based on a (now defunct) extension of the Warhammer 40,000 universe where players command a fleet of ships rather than units and armies. There are different classes of ships (e.g., destroyers, frigates, cruisers, battleships, etc) with different abilities and weapons that vary across the 12 different playable races (Imperial Navy, Space Marines, Adeptus Mechanicus, Necrons, Chaos, Aeldari Corsairs, Aeldari Craftworld, Drukhari [Dark Eldar], the T’au Merchant and Protector Fleets, Orks, and the Tyranids). The other key difference is  that whereas you would field huge armies in Warhammer and send whole blocks of units at one another, the fleets in Battlefleet Gothic are much smaller (usually between 5 to 10 ships) and require a greater amount of micromanagement if you hope to succeed in battle.

To simplify things: it's your opportunity to recreate "Das Boot" with spaceships.
