What sets Space Hulk apart from other fast-paced strategy games is the unique combination of top-down strategic planning and realtime, nightmarish, shoot 'em up sequences in claustrophobic corridors. It's your task to lead the marines on missions that range from eliminating a set proportion of unwanted alien life to rescuing trapped marines. These rabid purple beasties hang out in derelict spaceships (named space hulks, as in the title), floating around until they happen upon an unsuspecting colony of humans to destroy.įortunately for humanity, space hulks are also frequented by a bunch of good guys called Space Marines, who like nothing better than whiling away a Sunday afternoon by turning Genestealers into dog meat. It's the far future and mankind has encountered a hostile alien race called Genestealers. Ordinarily, board games don't translate well to computer game, but Space Hulk is a phenomenal exception. Space Hulk was originally a board game, designed by Games Workshop. If you're thinking about getting the cd version however, then read on, because it's not necessarily the version you should buy, even if you do have a cd drive.īut for the benefit of those readers, who didn't catch the original review back in issue three, let's recap. If you're looking for a different kind of strategy game, and you haven't already bought Space Hulk on disk, then don't waste time reading this review - go out and buy it right this minute.
