Going all HULK


So today on Board Game Geek I found a cool post about Space Hulk the video game. It’s a homemade version from some group of folks but it was getting good buzz.

Problem was the post was old and more so the site was closed. Seems that they overdid their bandwidth and also got the notorious Cease and Desist from Games Workshop.

Good news though. Someone at the BGG found a mirror and I was able to get my hands on it. I am happy to share but not online since my own bandwidth is almost as max.

Good parts of it:
Nice small and simple Space Hulk game.
Good sound, reminds me of Starcraft.
Simple mechanics and method to track AP points.
Full squads and maps and a great training missions to get you comfy.

The Not so good:
They left out move and shoot.
The flamer only hits 3x3 areas or single rows of 3, not whole sections.

Still to have a simple Space Hulk game like this is great.

I just hope it does not drive down the price of those German Print Imports I am getting.
