Good price going to read up some reviews before buying :sunglasses: I remember I had a Space Hulk game on the Sega Saturn :smiley: Brings back good memories!

I have this on the VITA and it'd totally unplayable.
Mainly due to the epic slowdown and tiny text which you can literally barely read.
It's very, very bad. But given that's my main gripes, it may be better on PS4.

TotalBiscuit did a first impressions video (below) of the PC version. It is nothing like the Space Hulk game I remember from the 90's but for this price it is worth of a shot!
It's a very faithful version of the board game - personally, I find the game more enjoyable the board game (that said I have the digital version for PC and later got it for iOS). It's pretty tough playing as the Space Marines and it's fun swapping over who plays which side and seeing if the other person can do better.
One of the complaints was that it was too like the board game (a digital version of a board game, who could have guessed) and the developers brought out a revised version called Space Hulk Ascension, which is PC only. I felt that this was a better video game - however, some of the niggles weren't fixed. For example, there's no undo option if you've accidentally moved a marine quickly.
But getting to this version, the mechanics are Space Hulk are very solid and as you say, it's a good price!

Along with need for speed, road rash and shockwave too I hope ? :stuck_out_tongue:

I bought it on PS3 and it plays terrible, very very slow. I assume the same issues with the Vita as said above.
Can anyone confirm if it plays better on PS4?
It's not exactly a taxing game so surprised it was so bad on PS3.

They did re-release Space Hulk around 8 years ago, I'm still waiting for Space Crusade to re-release, I'll be snapping that right up

There was another edition released about 2.5 years ago. That was a factor why this digital version got a lot of interest - the scarcity of the physical game.

Yes and also on PC, PS3, Vita and Wii U. However Space Hulk Ascension is only available on PC and PS4.
