When I say “is due out October 9th, publishers Focus Home announced today”, you say “What’s this one about?”
Space (HULK!)>: Tactics is due out October 9th, publishers Focus Home announced today. (What’s this one about?)> This latest adaptation of the venerated Games Workshop tabletop wargame does that same ol’ top-down turn-based tactical thing, only this time with the twist of special power-up cards. You can catch fleeting glimpses of this Space Marine vs. Tyranid action in a new trailer below.
Yes, another Warhammer 40,000 video game - I know! But this one looks like it could be pretty good.
Space Hulk: Tactics is the famous sci-fi board game meets XCOM, essentially. You control a squad of Space Marine Terminators who explore space hulks - "the floating amalgamations of smashed-together starships" - and tear apart Genestealers.
The turn-based strategy game has a card system, two campaigns, competitive multiplayer, four customisable Space Marine chapters and four Genestealer Hive Fleets to play around with. There's a mission editor inspired by the clip-together nature of building scenarios in the board game, too.
