Space Hulk is a game that involves a team of Terminators being pitted against a species of alien called Genestealers and is set inside spaceships. It's dark, it's multiplayer compatible and now it has a co-op mode.
The new campaign called Harbringer of Torment is set for four players to take part in a single match, co-ordinating three teams of Terminators against a forth player controlling all of the Genestealers and taking place over 5 levels. The story behind the campaign is simple: a derelict is on a collision course with a populated planet and because its path cannot be altered the Terminator teams have been sent in to deal with the infestation of Genestealers on the ship. What's more, it comes with bug fixes and is a free update to the game.
The new campaign has been in the works now for several months according to Full Control, owing to the fact that the new option to play co-operatively meant a major overhaul of the multiplayer system, including a multiplayer lobby so gamers can see matches that still require people to join them to complete the 4-player line-up. And each of the 5 stages have been designed with multiplayer gaming in mind.
As Space Hulk is currently one of the games on sale over at the Humble Store in their Spring Sales for only £3.99/$4.99, now could be the time to pick it up cheaply if you and your friends want a game that involves turn-based gameplay and shooting evil aliens/murdering human invaders.
