Space Hulk: Tactics

A blast from the past rebuilt for current gaming, with enhancements and improvements to gameplay.

If the developers move quickly, Space Hulk: Tactics might yet be the best strategy game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. For now, the grim darkness of the far future is still grim and dark -- and not in a good way.

Space Hulk: Tactics is an intriguing TBS for everyone have played the board game. Some little tuning on AI and mission design would have made this game great.

Tatics is a good turn-based strategy game Warhammer fans will love. It could've used a campaign with more focus on the narrative to keep us more engaged, though.

The new addition to the Space Hulk franchise is doing justice to the name it carries, with well designed campaigns, decent presentation and addictive gameplay. On the downside, the implementation of the Cards nearly breaks the game, making it repetitive and very slow.

Space Hulk: Tactics is an intelligent strategy game that offers deep and satisfying mechanics. The Warhammer 40.000 universe is well represented and the atmosphere is a beautiful love letter to every Warhammer's fan in the the world. Despite this, the game has some annoying bugs and frustrating loading times.

Fans of WH40K board games will probably enjoy this video game. Fans of computer strategy games should probably buy Valkyria Chronicles 4 instead.
