These guys had some success bringing Blood Bowl, the classic board game by Games Workshop, to consoles, and now they are taking on another fan favorite from the Warhammer 40,000 universe with their turn-based tactical game, Space Hulk: Tactics.
Intent on bringing a unique twist to the classic gameplay of the cult board game, players will engage in bloody battles throughout an immense Space Hulk, a twisted mass of asteroids, wrecked ships and debris. Players can choose one of two factions, as either a squad of Terminator Space Marines or the deadly alien Genestealers, playable for the first time in a Space Hulk game. Each have their own distinct, narrative-driven campaign, with a unique point of view.
Space Hulk: Tactics is, of course, based on the rules of the popular board game, but they are mixing things up with a new Card system. Cards give players more ways to customize their squad before a match, which allows you to turn the tides of battle with abilities that trigger game-changing effects when used at the right moment.
You can test your skills against other players in the expansive online competitive multiplayer, whether you are commanding a swarm of Genestealers or a custom squad of different unit types from one of four Space Marine Chapters: the Blood Angels, the Space Wolves, the Ultramarines, and the Dark Angels. The multiplayer modes and tools aim to give you a deep online experience, and include an intuitive map creation tool, which gives players everything they need to create original maps with custom objectives, and you can share them with other players to play either online or against the AI.
Space Hulk: Tactics comes to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in 2018.
