The game, while billed as a hybrid of first-person shooter and real-time tactical, plays more like a survival horror where the most powerful warriors humanity has to offer are ripped to pieces one by one in a cramped, labyrinthine spacecraft. Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels abandons the gravitas and otherworldly capabilities of Space Marines by forcing them into an environment where they cannot operate at their peak, against enemies that are so lethal, so cunning, that not even their best armor can withstand a few hits. After all, these guys are meant to do the killing, not the opposite. While many games within the Warhammer 40000 universe reinforce the legendary status of a Space Marine ( Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and Space Hulk: Deathwing, for example), there are few that actually put them on the back foot. But what if it wasn’t? Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Perhaps a better way to describe them would be to combine all of the tactical acumen and precision of Master Chief with the brutality and presence of the Doom Slayer. To be a Space Marine is to be a step above, and only a select few are ever given the distinct honor of joining their ranks. They are eight-foot-tall, genetically modified super soldiers who can shrug off insane amounts of damage, wield destructive weaponry, and have a mythical presence in the greater Warhammer 40,000 universe. If you’ve ever been exposed to the Warhammer 40,000 mythos, you’ll be aware that Space Marines are the business.
