Spacehulk: DeathWing is getting some DLC today on the PC, with the PS4 version getting its DLC in the coming days. The content is in the form of a new map, Infested Mines, playable in Solo Special Missions and the game's four player online Co-op mode. The focus here is more verticality, with twisting underground caverns and corridors which promises to "strike a balance between terrifying claustrophobia and wide-open battlefields."
It's been a year almost to the day since we last checked out Space Hulk: Deathwing. At that time, the game had received just a few of the updates that would eventually be bundled together in the "Enhanced Edition." That version was released this past May for PC and PlayStation 4 so we decided to hop back in and see how things were looking these days in the grim dark future (aka 2019).
A year and six months after its initial PC release, I believe the "definitive" version of Space Hulk: Deathwing will finally be making its way into the world. Dubbed Space Hulk: Deathwing - Enhanced Edition this version of the game offers new customization options, a new class to play, new weapons, new enemies, and a host of other features that were sorely needed when the title originally launched. Hopefully, it's not too late for this title to find some new life.
Last week, we dipped our toes back into Streum On Studio's Space Hulk: Deathwing. We were interested in seeing how much the game has changed after the recent slew of updates, and we came away impressed and hopeful for where this thing is headed. Yesterday, the development team further improved the title with some graphics/UI enhancements and a new co-op class: the Chaplain.
It's never not a good time to don a giant mechanical suit, head into a derelict space craft, and purge some alien scum. Such is the life of a space marine int the Warhammer 40K universe. This week Mike, Jason, and Nick check out the latest update to Space Hulk: Deathwing - the tactical FPS from Streum On Studio on PC.
Space Hulk: Deathwing arrived on PC last year and while it managed to capture some of the feeling and atmosphere of being a walking killing machine sent inside a derelict spacecraft filled with relentless aliens out to harvest your genes, it fell short in a number of other ways. The latest update, though, teases at some great things in the works.
Set in the Warhammer 40k universe, Space Hulk: Deathwing is on sale on steam from March 14th until Marth 17th, with a 33% discount for people to jump in on.
Space Hulk: Deathwing is the Warhammer 40k game I wanted 10 years ago. Its overall design - from the slow, plodding pace of the Terminators to the cramped corridors and distinct 40k architecture - and the emphasis on squad-based encounters against an overwhelming threat are truly outstanding. For every point where it shines, though, it also lacks a...
After a week's delay to fix some bugs and put a little more polish on it, Streum On Studio's Space Hulk: Deathwing is now available on the PC. Let's all celebrate with a launch trailer! Hopefully that week delay proved to be enough time for the team to address the bugs and issues that people found during the beta. Our co-op...
After the closed beta wrapped up last week, Space Hulk: Deathwing developer Streum On got some significant feedback from all those players about the state of the game. In order to address some of the bigger concerns, like slow loading times, better interfaces/menus, and various other bug fixes, they need a little more time. Specifically, one week.
I've always wanted to invest in the massive fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000. I mean, you've got your gun-toting orks, space marines, massive derelict spacecraft, and best of all...chainsaw-swords. Jumping into such an expansive universe could be downright daunting for a newbie, and might require reading, like...actual novels. We're in the digital age, people! Do you suffer violent allergic reactions when holding books (like myself)? Why not check out a sliver of such a universe by playing Spacehulk: Deathwing?
One of my most anticipated titles coming this fall is Space Hulk: Deathwing. I love the Warhammer 40k IP and I'll gladly take any chance I can get to dive into that universe. The game is slated for a November release so with just a couple months left until that day, developer Streum On Studio has unveiled the four Terminator classes players will be able to select in co-op mode.
