Woot I saw some nids. A space hulk full of eldar would be weird. Silly eldar.

This is excessively cheaply made with models ported directly out of dawn of war two and a significant amount of terrain models taken from there as well (at one point theres a ten foot tall tyranid command center just sitting in the background). It also looks like it's using dawn of war 2's engine.

Still, despite looking like a high grade starcraft 2 map editor creation, it's an alien swarm clone and I liked alien swarm. I may pick it up if the ratings are good. Hopefully it's not too short/buggy.

Alien Swarm was indeed awesome.

I hope this has local co-op play.

"Excessively cheap" is probably why it's only $10, too. I'm all over it!

I'm actually more excited for this DLC game than I was about Space Marine. I like cheap and mindless fun. I will be getting this.

Looks fantastic. Easy purchase. $10 for non-sensical arcade shooting fun?

Sold.

I hadn't heard of it either! I'll pick it up, I'm a sucker for arcade games like this.

Nice!

Do they really think I'm gonna shell out ten bucks for a modern Heavy Barrel set in the 40K universe???

If so, they're right. I will.

Me too. I had a last playing Alien Swarm on steam with my friends. They'll have to come over to play this one, if it does.

Heavy Barrel?



Nice call!

What a game that was - good times indeed!

Looks to be quite decent. Shame I've lost the ability to hook my xbox up to the interent.

For about 800msp I hope it will be better than Mass Effect dlc.

Did anyone notice that the marines boarded using the Caestus Assault ram? Nice attention to detail really.

Looks cool but I think 1st person shooter is the way to go. i think space marine will be better

Whatever lead you to believe that 'Space Marine' would be better? The much larger game, the more indepth story, the fact that it doesnt just cost $10?

I love the look of this, but sadly unless it releases on PC I am doomed not know the joy it could bring me.

Plus, Space Marine isn't a first person shooter!

This one will be good.

Maybe not IKARI WARRIOR good, but still fun!

Chances are it'll do its job well enough: Generate interest in Space Marine and make you mindlessly waste time with some mates.

Alpharius are you just taking the opportunity to show off the old games?



I love it!

Mmm, I hope my free 800pts for joining Gold turn up soon, otherwise I'll be forced to spend cash, as this is a must purchase.

Kill Team actually appears to be the same game as Space Marine, just with the camera pulled out further and more top-down with an emphasis on the shooting. I'll bet they tweaked the code for Space Marine as they built it to generate this as an appetizer.

This and space marine are nothing alike. The models, engine, and gameplay are totally different. They don't seem to share any assets what so ever.

True, now that I look at it it looks more like Dawn of War. Though I wouldn't necessarily say two 3rd-person action/shooters have "totally different" gameplay. Did Relic or someone else make this?

Here is a preview article.

This games looks to be a lot of fun, and at that price, it is a no-brainer!

I'm not sure I would call this third person as the camera is isometrically docked to a consistent center point between players and doesn't seem to have a y axis rotation.

Four different classes. Wonder what the differences are.
