At this point, not only do you make the decisions and direct the other space marines, but you can also switch between any of the marines in the troop and control any of them personally from a first-person perspective.

You start out as a grunt obeying orders, but with successful completions of various missions, you can increase in rank and eventually be the leader of the teams. You give them orders in a tactical screen and/or take over one of them and then move in a 3D environment and fight the Genestealers just as in any FPS. The game is mission-based, with each mission putting you in charge of up to ten Space Marines as they investigate a huge alien derelict that is on a collision course with planet Delvar 3. Think Terra Nova, but with a greater range of commands you can use to order the troops. Like its predecessor, SH:VBA is based on Games Workshop's acclaimed Warhammer 40K sci-fi RPG universe, casting you as the commander of a squad of Terminator Space Marines, a pseudo-religious sect that makes up the Emperor's elite fighting force, leading the troops in battles against the genetic abominations known as the tyranid Genestealers.īut in contrast to Space Hulk's emphasis on purely tactical elements (delivered with innovative phased real-time veneer), SH:VBA is a full-featured first-person shooter similar to DOOM that uses the official RPG rules to give it strong RPG and strategy elements. Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels is an excellent sequel to the vastly underrated Space Hulk game, first published by EA in 1993.
