Players praise the game's faithful Warhammer 40k atmosphere and visual design. [1][2][3] Many find the gameplay clunky, repetitive, and the AI companions useless. [4][5][6] Some recommend it only for Warhammer fans or when on sale. [7][8][9]

The singleplayer is a frustrating and unbalanced experience. You play with two ai companions, who are next to useless as they can't recover health on their own and will die extremely quickly unless you specifically order the medic to heal them using one of his limited medkits. Which ofcourse also has a cooldown. Quick deaths also apply to the player, as even if you are standing next to the medic and ordering him to …

No, the game is not bad at all. In my opinion, it is one of the best representations of what it would actually feel like to be part of a Terminator squad exploring a Space Hulk infested with Tyranid Genestealers in search of a possible relic from ages long past. The game feels lore-accurate and wonderfully grim. The visuals do an excellent job of conveying the horrors that exist within the Warhammer 40,000 universe, …

The game delivers exactly what a Warhammer 40000 fan hopes for: atmosphere, overwhelming firepower and the feeling of being an unstoppable force barely surviving impossible odds. From the moment you step into the armor of a Deathwing Terminator the game captures the brutal, claustrophobic tension of boarding a Space Hulk. The environments are dark, massive and packed with detail, creating a strong sense of scale and …

Space Hulk is a great little game and I highly recommend checking it out when it goes on sale (I bought it for $2.99.) One thing I wanna praise this game for is its atmosphere, tyranids in 40k are already a pretty insidious threat because of genestealer cults and this game works off of that really well by having its maps be usually pretty quiet and tame until a horde of enemies appears and it turns into both a fight …

This game can be great, but you have to make it that way. The game itself is a mixed bag. I think the art direction and visual aspects of this game is what it does really well. This game really can build an atmosphere. The voice acting and actual story is surprisingly good as well. The issues is with the actual gameplay itself. The gameplay can be clunky, and there is a bit of a learning curve into actually being …

neutral · AI labelView post →Space Hulk: Deathwing - Enhanced Edition takes one of Warhammer 40,000's most iconic concepts and places players inside Terminator Armour while fighting through a Space Hulk overrun by Tyranids. On paper, it's an excellent idea. In practice, however, I constantly felt that the gameplay never fully evolved enough to take advantage of its own concept. Visually, the game looks good and remains faithful to the Warhammer 40,000 universe. However, graphics alone have never been enough for me to…

Getting the good stuff out of the way first. The art direction and everything visual is top-notch; there is not an inch without dozens of details crammed in. It is incredible. The gameplay can also be fun here and there. That is all good that there is, otherwise the game is hellbent on wasting your time with mechanics that are utterly useless, boring combat with…

They specifically zoomed in on the trailer and chose certain skins to make it feel like you had the freedom to choose your specific color, helmet, hood, shoulders, ect.. Thats just a…

This game is so misunderstood, but what else would you expect from the same devs that brought you E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy? - The game is marketed as an FPS, and at the surface level, it is.

Why is my Heal ability only usable through a squad mate, and why are there so many RPG elements like hacking, breaking / blocking doors, and squad positioning? then it hits you...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Idk when/why/how everyone got into Warhammer, presumably by painting lil guys in lockdown. But for me, this is the entirety of Warhammer's existence right here. 32-bit Space Hulk and the PSP port of that tactics game from RedLynx, the people what made the Trials games.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is amazing to play in co-op even today. It's very punishing, but it is enjoyable, especially once you learn how to play classes and finding a class that works best for your style of play. For solo play, it's somewhat tedious, though practical to command the other soldiers in your unit. If you've never played a Warhammer games, this one can be somewhat discouraging, especially for solo players just dipping their toes into Warhammer 40K.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR: This CAN be a fun game, but it tends to be fun despite its mechanics, not thanks to them. There's something about being a walking tank and shooting infinite ammo down a tiny corridor with waves of aliens coming at you that can be satisfying. But apart from that, the game doesn't manage to deliver on many other important fronts. Vermintide 2 or Deep Rock Galactic are much better options.

The game is incredibly immersive making you feel as if you were a Terminator, battling against a horde of xenos. The quality of this game is commendable, it could do with some slight improvements here and there, otherwise the game is all smooth sailing. 8/10 - would recommend to anyone who wants to start getting into Warhammer 40,000 gives you the sense of 'All Hope is Gone', but it is an…

I thought I was a big enough warhammer nerd to tough out what I read in the other reviews, I was not. My faith in the emperor has wavered and I now serve in a penal battalion as penance. God emperor witness me as I fight to retake Atoma Prime .
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Didn't try the multiplayer, but single player campaign on normal was just bad. No difficulty curve, nothing was overly complex, it's just never-ending genestealers and absolutely useless teammates. Kept getting party wiped on mission 2, which makes it sound like I'm just bad at the game (and maybe I am). But I told my guys to defend me in a narrow hallway while I hacked a turret nearby and I would get knocked out of the hack right at the finish line because the two hulking morons blocking the…

Sadly I didn't know about Star Quest Space Crusade or Tyranid Attack as they were only released in Europe. I found Warhammer 40K before I got Space Hulk, but found HeroQuest before Warhammer Fantasy
neutral · AI labelView post →I had a dream about a game where you played a Mynah and had the armour rating and everything. It was a rogue-like, where any damage you took was permanent, but you had a massive health pool. It sort of played like a Space Hulk game with corrupted Replika.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →On plus: Atmosphere on the levels On minus: Very poor combat - awful, "dry" bolter gunshot sounds, poor recoil animations, amateruish genestealers dying animations, tragically bad melee. There is just no weight to all of that. Cardboard weapons shooting cardboard enemies. Boring, repetetive, just shooting masses and masses of cardboard dumb enemies. I know it is supposed to be like L4D or Vermintide type of game, but it's just badly designed and executed, in comparison.

neutral · AI labelView post →The game looked good but the game play is slow and uninteresting to me. I get it, you're supposed to be slow but this is just unbearable and using your sword feels so light on impact. Also, if you die once, you'll have to restart the WHOLE level from the start.
