As a result, combat is tight and frantic. Corridors are not as narrow as they are in older takes on the setting, but they are still fairly cramped. The majority of them are variants on melee combat, although there are a couple of ranged units.
Genestealers heavily focus on rushing the Deathwing team. As such, players have quite a bit of flexibility in regards to how they approach combat. A melee weapon is no good against ranged enemies, while ranged weapons can only do so much up close. Each of these weapons is effective in their own right, but obviously they specialize. Automatic plasma cannons, thunder hammers, incendiary bolters, flamethrowers, and more. As the most elite of the Dark Angels, Deathwing has access to the best weapons available. Both melee and shooting are utilized against the alien hordes. Space Hulk: Deathwing is a first person shooter that focuses on a team fighting massive numbers. Players take control of members of the Dark Angels Space Marine chapter, specifically of the elite Deathwing branch, and once again venture unto the breach.

Several mimicked the style of the board game with a focus on tactical planning. There were many video games based on the board game. Space Marines could utilize ranged weapons, but Genestealers held the advantage in melee combat. The Space Marines and Genestealers were forced to fight in tight corridors, with death coming quickly.
Genestealers, the forward scouts of the Tyranid Hive Fleet, swarm it. Space Hulk originally started as a board game series, one that focused on a team of elite Space Marines boarding an unholy fusion of hundreds of different warships. Now it’s time to ask the age old question. Space Hulk: Deathwing aims to add to the pile, bringing its own flavor to the grim dark future of the 41st millennium. There are dozens upon dozens of them out there, covering everything from shooters, to space combat, to turn based strategy. Warhammer 40k games seem to be all the rage nowadays.
