According to the newsletter from the studio:

"To celebrate we’ll be having our first Steam Sale tomorrow, on Saturday 12th of October, where you’ll be able to grab yourself a copy of Space Hulk with a 33% discount."

Should save about 10 bucks off the purchase, I think? It's a much better deal for 23 Euros. I might bite... It's probably bound to get even cheaper in the not too far future, but I'm in the mood for some oldschool turn-based strategy these days.

Yeah... it's on sale for $19.99 right now.... aaaaalllmost about to pull the trigger... but something is telling me I should wait until it's $4.99 six months from now.

Yeah, I'm wondering about that at the moment.

I picked it up a few days ago for $10 on Steam. The three major complaints I saw before buying it were bugs, the game ends up being boring after a while, and how slow the marine animation was.

My two cents:

I've played through the three campaigns that came with it. (Hey I was sick and nothing else to really do)

Bugs - I got 1.3 and the bugs are mostly worked out. I did see one genestealer that was in a square looking alive that i couldn't target. It was actually supposed to be dead. Once I moved a termy on to the square it squished and went away. No game hanging bugs though.

Boredom - Nothing here. Now, I love turned based games for the most part, so this was just a great throw back.I felt the developers really cared about this game. It reminded me of older GW games only more polished.
I am a huge Chaos Gate fan, even keep an old WIn98 virtual machine to play it now and again. This game had a modern feel to that, even with the mission briefings, "Sergeant of the squad, accept your orders". That being said it isn't Chaos gate, so if you didn't like that game, don't worry.
I found some of the missions to be pretty hairy. There's a sense of angst moving through the tight corridors of the ship, leaving men in a rear guard to hold off dozens of genestealers while the main mission is completed. And then trying to have them fight their way through. Good times, no boredom for me.

Slow animation - They've added a setting to make the animations faster. That's pretty cool just in the fact that they listened to people complain about it and fixed it.

All in all, good game. Probably not the best game in the world, but a lot of fun for me. I saw someone on a forum mention that they would like a campaign where you have 50 marines to start and any that die come out of the pool permanently. Once again that's like Chaos gate, would be pretty cool as it is hard to manage and man do you rethink things and take each death a little harder.

Its a good buy, fun game with a good ammount of challenge. (that is until your like me i find an exploit near the end of the first campaign) Still a great game.

This game gets a Brother Zael out of 10


Hmm no one has linked them but You should watch these two before you play Space hulk (caution some bad language)
