Space Hulk is a turn-based tactics video game developed by Danish studio Full Control.[3] It is based on the tabletop game of the same name by Games Workshop.[3] It features the Blood Angels Chapter of the Space Marines battling grotesque aliens known as Genestealers. A follow-up game, Space Hulk: Ascension, was released in 2014.

The plot of this table-top game is that the player has a squad of 2 assaulters, 1 force commander, 1 flamer and a librarian. The goal is to get to the shuttle at the exit while genestealers and tyranids block the player's path. A narrator explains each mission before starting.

Gameplay

The gameplay is based heavily on the 4th edition of the tabletop game. The game is turn based and uses dice rolls. At each turn there is a limited number of action points to direct your squad. Extra action points can be earned from a dice roll. The game allows for undoing the last made action.[4] The multiplayer supports hotseat mode.[5]
