The game is mission-based, with each mission putting you in charge of up to ten Space Marines as they investigate a huge alien derelict that is on a collision course with planet Delvar 3. Think Terra Nova, but with a greater range of commands you can use to order the troops.

Like its predecessor, SH:VBA is based on Games Workshop's acclaimed Warhammer 40K sci-fi RPG universe, casting you as the commander of a squad of Terminator Space Marines, a pseudo-religious sect that makes up the Emperor's elite fighting force, leading the troops in battles against the genetic abominations known as the tyranid Genestealers.īut in contrast to Space Hulk's emphasis on purely tactical elements (delivered with innovative phased real-time veneer), SH:VBA is a full-featured first-person shooter similar to DOOM that uses the official RPG rules to give it strong RPG and strategy elements. Different players take on different roles in the game - the Librarian uses deadly psychic powers the Apothecary is a medic and other classes specialise in different forms of combat from close-quarter battle to the use of heavy weapons.Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels is an excellent sequel to the vastly underrated Space Hulk game, first published by EA in 1993.

You can battle alone or with a squad of up to three other players. In this one success will depend not only on quick reactions but also on managing your resources including an arsenal of different futuristic weapons from the reliable storm bolter to the psychic force sword to the devastating assault cannon. The Space Hulk board game series has always been popular with gamers and Space Hulk: Deathwing isn't even the series' first digital adaptation. As you penetrate deeper into the ship you'll find bigger more dangerous aliens - and a mysterious secret. Your mission is to explore a space hulk - a bizarre fusion of wrecked ships inhabited by monstrous alien Genestealers. In this adaptation of the classic British board game you'll take on the role of an elite Space Marine clad in a suit of Terminator power armour.
