Space Hulk: Deathwing is a first-person shooter set in the popular Warhammer 40000 science-fiction setting. In this adaptation of the classic British board game you'll take on the role of an elite Space Marine clad in a suit of Terminator power armour. Your mission is to explore a space hulk -- a bizarre fusion of wrecked ships inhabited by monstrous alien Genestealers. As you penetrate deeper into the ship you'll find bigger more dangerous aliens -- and a mysterious secret.

Return to a classic franchise

The Space Hulk board game series has always been popular with gamers and Space Hulk: Deathwing isn't even the series' first digital adaptation. In this one success will depend not only on quick reactions but also on managing your resources including an arsenal of different futuristic weapons from the reliable storm bolter to the psychic force sword to the devastating assault cannon. You can battle alone or with a squad of up to three other players. Different players take on different roles in the game -- the Librarian uses deadly psychic powers the Apothecary is a medic and other classes specialise in different forms of combat from close-quarter battle to the use of heavy weapons.

Carnage amongst the stars

If you're a fan of fast-paced action and the baroque Warhammer 40000 universe Space Hulk: Deathwing delivers a powerful hit of both. Gunning down Genestealers together with your friends is very satisfying.
