Alien Assault

Post by eMTe »

This is NOT a remake of well-known Amiga/PC classic. Let the developers speak:

"Space Hulk is a board game developed by Games Workshop several years ago. It is a turn based game focusing on the fictional battle between man and alien in a distant world. Several variations have been made to both Amiga and PC but none has really embraced the turn aspect of the game so that was our intentions when we started making this game.

The game is only designed to be a single player game. You take on the role of the commander of the Space Marine chapters and the computer play as your enemy; leading the hordes of Genestealers against you.

Our goal was to make the enemy as smart as any human playing that part in the board game variant and so the enemies are programmed to attack your weakest link, circle around you, take you by surprise and attack in numbers. After several months of testing we ourselves cannot anticipate the route they are going to take before they attack you and still they do not act by random but always try to outsmart you and that is something we are really proud of.

Our version of Space Hulk is freeware meaning that you can download it for free and play as much as you want!"

Space Hulk is currently on hiatus due to license issues. Games Workshop contacted teardown demanding closing the project and removing downloads. Future is uncertain.

Hmmm.... That is the ever-returning issue with remaking games. But what bothers me is of course that I never got to play it. :D

They renamed the game to Alien Assault and released it.
