Space Hulk is out!

One of my all time favourite games Space Hulk is out and it was developed in the Unity engine!

It's a turn based squad based tactics game, based on the "two" player board game. Where you play the squad of ill fated space marines or the endless hordes of genestealers.

It's out on steam, but it's £22.99 WTF can't believe the price, I think I'll wait till it hits the steam sales!

    Yep it's a pity as Games Workshop could have used Space Hulk as an opening move to their turn based tactical board games.

    Brought the game up to date, more like the new XCOM, with an improved and easier to use gameplay mechanic and still have that OMG it can all go horribly wrong if you make the wrong decisions.

    Also keeping your surviving troops and levelling up their kit and abilities should be standard.

    It seems like the early version had a lot of QA and performance problems, which probably dropped their review scores a notch or two.

    Yep, and the oportunity to have a good SH boardgame for PC is wasted for another 10yrs or so... sucks
    Theres a new SH game on the works but looks like a FPS :/

    New xcom was great, waiting for the dlc
