Story:Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels is a mix of a First-Person-Shooter and a tactical fighting game. It is placed in the Warhammer 40k background of the Games Workshop table top games. It is the successor of the PC game Space Hulk from 1993 and it tells of the fight between the imperial Terminator Chapters and the Tyranid Gene Stealers.
You control up to ten Terminators. You give them orders in a tactical screen and/or take over one of them and then move in a 3D environment and fight the Gene Stealers just as in a First- Person-Shooter. So the game includes tactical planning and fighting in a good balance.Show more

Whatever the vote count is for this game you need to octuple it!
This game has one of the finest intros ever made. The presentation is top notch.
The game is rock hard and terrifying to play. It has a unique feature for the time, which was once the Genestealers caught you it would switch to a pre rendered video of them attacking you, and you had to fight hand to hand combat. to this day it still looks amazing, and the Geanstalers are terrifying.
EA won't bother bringing this back alone, so we need GOG's help. Not enough people have appreciated this brilliant game.
Nothing grimmer. Nothing darker. This was my debut in the Imperium of man. It's still the imaginative origin of any investment I have in the setting of Warhammer 40K. It's atmospheric. It's tactical. It's immersive. It still looks amazing. It's hard as nails but it's fair. It is faithful to the tabletop game but builds on it in interesting ways. I played it for hours and hours and never even started to plumb its depths. No remake has surpassed it. It's a flawless GOG. It deserves to be revived and preserved.
Space Hulk: Deathwing (2018) was just eye candy, with little to offer as far as gameplay.
Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels (1995) is unique in that it combines a first-person sh00ter with the tactical and strategic gameplay of the board game.
Unlike other first person sh00ters, you are not a Superman, you can't you recklessly storm into a room full of hostiles, miraculously kill everything, and take little damage (like playing Goldeneye on Agent level).
Like the board game, each room entry and exit had to be strategically thought out like a SWAT operation. This is thinking man's game, not a brainless first person sh00ter.
This is the type of game people mean when they say, "they don't make games like that anymore," because there ISN'T another game like this. I've looked hard for an alternative, but even its own successor, Death Wing, doesn't come close.
Please bring this classic back. This would be a Day 1 purchase for me.
Side note: It's ridiculous you can't say the word "sh00ter" in your story. Or an "error" will prevent you from posting. GOG realizes FPS games exist, right?
This is one of those game I only played for a couple of hours at a friend's house back in the 90's and is STILL stuck in my head. I've never owned it and want to play it again. Please give us the opportunity to play this gem again!

The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger.
