It’s a tense, asymmetrical affair that can take hours to set up and play. In that game’s lore, Terminators are forced to plod down long corridors, often in single-file lines, as wave after wave of fast-moving Tyranids bear down on them from all directions. Space Hulk originated back in 1989 as a spinoff miniatures skirmish game pitting the most heavily armed Space Marines, known as Terminators, against the vicious alien threat called the Tyranids. It’s a faithful interpretation of the classic standalone tabletop game, and one that’s absolutely jam packed with extras. But the latest offering, Cyanide Studio’s Space Hulk : Tactics, is more than competent. This year there have been around half a dozen Steam releases alone, and not all of them have been worthwhile. At times it feels like video games based on Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 universe are a dime a dozen.
