Honestly I cannot wait for a new Space Hulk game. This could have some serious potential. It looks promising for now.

I've never played Space Hulk, but this reminds me a lot of XCOM, especially with the whole turn-based tactics and squad mechanics, though apparently Space Hulk is randomly generated, kind of like this one semi-cooperative survival game I played in Uni. What was it's name... Oh I remember; Level 7 [Escape]! It was fun with a bunch of friends; I played the latino 20-something lady, and RP'd her as a crazy brawler who ran at the aliens and soldiers with a flying kick to the head. Naturally I died a few levels in after being left behind in the infirmary.

You do any of that in Space Hulk, chances are you'll be dead in the first level. I know the board game and many variations of it make gameplay difficult and generally you'll lose marines on majority of levels.
