TLDR get this if you like Space Hulk in any form. Yes it is brutal, unforgiving (just like the table-top game) and will cause you to rage-quit the game many times (around 3-4 so far for me). I own ALL Space Hulk games on all platforms (including the physical board game, the original boxed DOS game etc) and this is a definite must to include in your collection. All negative reviews are either a skill issue, whining about a particular feature, disliking the difficulty, graphical stuff or some other banal issue.
Simple Digital conversion of the Table Top game. Played this when it first came out, enjoyed and forgot all about tbh, until it got re-released part of the Warhammer Skulls 2026. Which inspired me to fire it back up. Haven't played the Ascension version so cannot compare, but now that's available again, I will likely pick that up as a result.
Normies dont understand space hulk. They think Space Hulk is a real-time tactics game. Space Hulk is a survival horror game. The horror of bolters jamming, the horror of assault cannons exploding, the horror of flamers blocking your own path forward, the horror of the failing rearguard and hearing your squadmate one tile behind you being devoured alive on the vox, the horror of skittering feet and genestealers surrounding the Emp's finest, armed and armored with the Imperium's most priceless armaments and still failing in the face of rending teeth and claws, the horror of having +2 to your melee rolls with the thunder hammer and storm shield and still rolling 1s, the horror of a broodlord walking across flamed tiles and one-shotting your rune-priest who wasted all his psi points axing genestealers. This version is the closest rendition of the beloved board game from the 90s. Some people don't enjoy how hard the game is or the fact that they cant scum save and load immediately without having to go back to the menu first. But those are weaklings who lack true courage. This is quintessential sci-fi fantasy storytelling - you and the boys strapping yourselves into claustrophobic boarding torpedoes and ramming face first and ballz deep into a massive graveyard of dead ships chock full of filthy aliens. Your mission is almost always suicidal and the casualty rate will most assuredly be 70+%. But if not you, veteran space marine champion of the First Company, then who else to defend mankind against the encroaching dark? And with that damned knowledge and armed with nothing but bolter, blade and faith you find yourself once again in the stygian dark of an ancient wreck teeming with mankind's most horrid enemy.
