Space Hulk: Tactics for Windows

A Warhammer adaptation of the game Space Hulk

Space Hulk: Tactics is a tactical fighting game upon a large space ship where you battle as a Terminator Space marine, or as the aliens called “Genestealers.” Customize your squads with cards, and play online or play through the two campaign-based missions.

Play as the aliens or the marines

Space Hulk: Tactics is part of the Warhammer franchise, which started out as an adaptation of the Warhammer board game. Space Hulk: Tactics has turned the game back into a closer adaptation of the original board game by removing many of the features that have evolved throughout the game-franchise’s history. However, despite that fact, Space Hulk: Tactics is full off Space Hulk dressing, and they have added original/new twists to the rules to suit the Space Hulk theme. You may also play through the game as a Blood Angel, which was a first in the Space Hulk series when Space Hulk: Tactics was released. Be warned that this game was not created by Creative Assembly or by Feral Interactive, but by Cyanide studios who are only really known for Space Hulk Deathwing.

Truly a game created for the fans

Space Hulk: Tactics is a fully featured Warhammer game with all the joys of the Space Hulk game thrown in, but it is probably one of the most esoteric version of Warhammer ever. Warhammer fans will love it for everything that feels familiar and everything that is shiny and new, but non-Warhammer players will have a hard time grasping how special this game is. It would be like inventing the combustion engine and showing it to a medieval baker. Fans of Space Hulk will be motivated enough to learn how to play this game, but other people may find that it goes over their head. Fans of Warhammer and Space Hulk will literally find hundreds of hours of gameplay in this game through the in-game content, the online gameplay, and the map creation tool.
