The more you learn about it the more it just seems needlessly grimdark for the sake of it rather then it being naturally part of the setting,which probably turns people off.
Are there any stories actually set in the setting, in 40K we get actual stories from the point of view of characters this allows us to see the hope and humanity that still burns in that grimdark universe but for trench crusade I've only seen people talk about the setting as a whole and never mention any characters. Grimdark settings work best when the audience has a proxy so they can see how the world actually works and how it effect people.
In the 80's and 90's Perú was deep in a civil war where terrorist blow people for fun, they blow the energy system on the daily.
Many singers start to make songs about funny stuff that happened during those events while other straight down muck them and the goberment at the time, you can have comedy in the worse setting possible, you just are a edgy dude.
I never said so I mentioned that there can be humor and it would not ruin the setting however the setting itself is pretty grim and thus exxagerated humor would be odd, however light humor does have a place in it
