Space Hulk
Critic Reviews for Space Hulk
Space Hulk is presented as a videogame version of the board game that carries the same name, which is both a blessing and a curse. If its campaign mode can offer a long experience and the Wii U's GamePad is adequately used to interact with the game, its shallow gameplay does not captivate those looking for a good strategy game.
Review in Portuguese |
Modern board game design greatly de-emphasises the importance of dice rolls in favour of systems that are more predictable and strategic, and I've got to say that I much prefer this brave new world of strategy over luck that we have in our board games now.
Space Hulk Classics is a game I have installed a lot of times because it nails that tense, strategy-action mix and the tabletop game perfectly. It captures the tabletop feel using sound effects and low lighting to keep you on edge every single turn and never knowing what's coming. While it’s missing some modern touch-ups and has some annoying accessibility hurdles, it remains a fantastic way to experience the Sin of Damnation if you want the ultimate tactical purge, put on some headphones and get ready for the most intense corridor crawl in gaming.
