Missions are straightforward fare, where you make it to a marker, destroy something, and make it to another marker to do the same thing. While the developers got that part right, everything else feels half-hearted. There aren't too many ways to further convey that you're a menace to be reckoned with, but it all feels good once you start playing. They have heavy footfalls, large guns have intense fire power, they move slowly, and their melee attacks feel forceful. Give Deathwing a little time, and you'll see that the developers completely understand how to convey the power of a Terminator. What you can't do is change your class in the single-player mode. That loadout is expanded greatly any time you level up, and you can upgrade your stats between missions.
Should things get too heated, you can create warp gates so you can change your loadout or replenish everyone's health before going back into the fray you'll want to use them sparingly, though, since they have limited uses per mission. You also have a few hacking abilities, though those are limited to jamming and unjamming doors and taking over turrets remotely. You have access to a few psychic powers, including a push, lightning attack, and the ability to make your enemies burn. You have an infinite ammo cache no matter which weapon you choose, but you still have to reload your clip. This time around, the action more closely resembles a modern first-person shooter, and there's the ability to melee if you're carrying the right weapons. You can dole out a basic set of commands to each of your teammates, whether it's having the Apothecary heal other party members or telling your squad to stay and defend an area. It has the hallmarks of past Space Hulk games, namely the narrow metal corridors that provide little breathing room when a fight goes down. For those people, the story won't take away from the excellent handling of the game world.Ĭompared to the older games, Deathwing is a more action-oriented take on the tactical shooter. The same goes for the dialogue, which can be cringe-inducing when paired with the world's oppressive aesthetic. The logs you find in computer terminals and artifacts become more meaningful to fans, even though non-fans and casual ones will gain some understanding. You have to be a fan of the Warhammer 40,000 universe to get the most out of the story.
