  Space Hulk, like many board games, is more what the players make of it - as a video game, though, it isn't as successful as its tabletop outings. Nice effects like the fantastic helmet cam add value to the Wii U version, but the GamePad would have been better utilized letting both players hide their moves from each other, especially considering each player hands the pad off between rounds. All said, Space Hulk is a fun game with some strong points, but it might not find the audience it's after on Nintendo's console.

  Some games work well on a smaller screen and some do not. Space Hulk clearly does not make the transition to a handheld very well. Certain design decisions make the game difficult to navigate and frustrating to play. The fact that the controls and be inconsistent and non-responsive at times doesn't help matters. Still, it does do a decent job of replicating the board game feel of the original game while providing an interesting take on multiplayer that adds a bit of fun.

  Bugs and crashes only add to the frustrations. Board game fans might be able to overlook these sins to find the deep game within....

  It’s here where some of the flaws of Space Hulk begin to show. Using an action point to fight or move makes sense, but using them just to turn around? That doesn’t seem right. I also found the overall pace of the game to be much slower than I was expecting. I could understand a slower pace in a multiplayer game, where both players are thinking between each move, but in a single player campaign?

  It’s a shame, really, because with a proper interface a board game should work as well if not better on a mobile device than on a PC. And if they’d taken more care over the port, then Space Hulk would have been one the finest board game adaptations to grace the iPad: tense, demanding, and frequently thrilling.

  Despite some issues here and there, Space Hulk still manages to translate the addictive action of the board game from which its derived into a worthy iOS title. Like a sloth ninja assassin, Space Hulk is slow, methodical, and brutal, but offers plenty of rewards for those with patience.

  It’s a virtual board game, not an RTS. The Terminators and Genestealers are game pieces, not persistent characters that level-up. So long as people make peace with this there’s no reason they won’t be able to enjoy Space Hulk as much as I have, even despite it’s problems. Although I do hope they do something about the Push Notifications.

  Ultimately, Space Hulk is a fine game, a pleasant diversion. I rarely wanted to play more than one mission at a time, but I was also happy to return after a few hours. I’m have to doubt that there's much replay value to the 12 campaign missions, though multiplayer will extend their life considerably.

  As enjoyable as this new take on Space Hulk can be at times, especially if you're nostalgic for the board game, the developers missed out on a big opportunity here. Such a straight remake of the original game has its pluses with easy-to-understand rules and intense tactical challenges. But additions like skill progression and map editing could have deepened the game and extended its replayability. its pluses with easy-to-understand rules and intense tactical challenges.

  Space Hulk delivers the best value to those who want to enjoy its multiplayer aspect. Single-player mode is fun, but doesn't have a huge amount of replay value and can be finished within a few sessions. A faithful recreation of the classic Games Workshop board game that's best enjoyed by hardcore fans who are able to look beyond its rather disappointing cosmetics and sometimes clumsy interface.
