Space Hulk: Deathwing Enhanced Edition

In the 40th millennium of whatever timeline this maybe... bad things happen to good people... and bad... and to a lot of entities that can hardly be called human anymore or that never even had the audacity to think themselves as such in the first place.

Being alive around these troubled times usually proves more trouble that it's worth but if you're a suitable specimen and don't mind getting augmented to serve the glorious empire of man... there is no lack of targets to shot, eviscerate or stab at... unfortunately they are also actively trying to do the same to you and your bros and they got a lot of backup... A LOT.

A great Space Marine game, give it shot when it goes on sale

Its a dated game but it still checks out as a bit of fun and also has a decent amount of replay ability. Having said that it is a lot more fun with friends than playing through solo.

Iz fun wif da boyz. Very killy, much orky.

You must serve the Emperor

My brothers, you must play this game or else the Emperor will shame you.

Had potential, feels unfinished and raw. But i'm going to give it a positive because you get to play as the dark angels chapter 1st company a.k.a the deathwing and more specifically you wear a terminator armour, this reason alone makes it deserve a thumbs up. And also this is the only game on the market where you get really immersed as you "feel" the weight and bulkiness of a space marine armour unlike space marine 1 and 2.

It's fun, but you kind of need buddies to play this game with. The single player AI can't fight worth a damn, and even normal difficulty with 3 Terminators is not exactly a simple task, much less two of the three having the collective intellect of a brick that's been gnawed on by a toddler.
You need at minimum three real people to try normal mode, and two for easy.

Very good fun; especially if you have a mate to do coop.

Co-op is a worse knock-off from the single player campaign.
All the cut-scenes are missing.
No checkpoints, combined with constant cheap instant-kill in your face spawning enemies.
There's never a pause to look at the map to figure out where to go, so you are basically forced to learn all the maps in single player first ... why would i want to play this twice though? The story is bland, the combat mediocre.
There should have been a co-op mode like single player.
For ~5 bucks on sale you can have fun in single player i guess, but don't get this for co-op only.

Honestly the best Warhammer game in my opinion! Everything feels great and I could honestly put hundreds of hours into this and I very much will. It scratched that itch ive been looking for. Especially with mods :) For sure give this game a try. I got it on sale.

If you love Warhammer 40K, Space Hulk: Deathwing is a must-play. The atmosphere is incredibly immersive, nailing the dark, claustrophobic horror of clearing out space hulks swarming with Genestealers. Playing as a Deathwing Terminator feels powerful yet tactical, requiring teamwork and resource management to survive.

Multiplayer is still alive and well in 2025, making it easy to jump into co-op and experience the game as it was meant to be played—shoulder to shoulder with fellow battle-brothers. Personally, I love playing as an Apothecary, keeping my squad alive while unleashing righteous fury on the xenos. While the game has some rough edges, the intense combat, deep lore, and satisfying gunplay make it a blast for any 40K fan. The Emperor protects!

Very nice game, would have been nice to have some music in-game.

Got this game for 4.50, its prolly worth about that tbh. catch it on sale, it is a miserable experience solo.

EDIT: Refunded, mid af and too difficult to enjoy solo. every weapon ive tried besides the starting weapon is buns.

Game is not good. Among its faults, doesn't let you assign some normal keyboard keys as keybindings.

Like L4D but in the Warhammer 40000 universe. Wish I had a better pc though so it would run more smoothly.

Good but should have been an updated to the old game

Doesn't look that pretty, sound design is really poor, dialogues are boring as hell (ok it's a warhammer game I get it but man, it's tough ), and the gameplay... oh by the Emperor, it's really bad executed. Ennemies appear right behind you and sometimes right in front of you, materialising out of fine air (I am not exagerating, with 120 FOV it's badly hidden). The powers system is really blurry, I had trouble understanting what each power does because in the turorial only ONE class is shown, and the UI is crap, no style and bad at given crucial information...
Plus the traduction are really messy and badly implemented (in french in my experience).

I tried to play in coop with a friend, knowing that the game was made for group of 4. We thought that were going to be Bots at least. No. Nothing in multiplayer. They exist in solo, but not in multiplayer... What ? Oh and 4 minutes to respawn... every death... to come back to the exact same gameplay... even in MOBAs they don't put that much
To resume, it's a Paranoia simulator with a slight theme of Warhammer 40k. If you want a "similar" experience (not in the big chunky boy feeling but more in the L4D2) just play Darktide... Ok I can hear that the game isn't perfect but at least it has MUSIC (yea no music in Deathwing, not even bad one just nothing to put you in the mood of killing xenos).

Worst game I ever played, rather play crab game

beautiful design. very cool and immersive and DARK
lots of neat upgrades to grind for, and lots of maps and challenging levels to play

Good for multiplayer, but no no for single player.

This is the ideal dungeon crawling experience as envisioned by Gary Gygax. Your terminator armor is fat so you have to go through hallways single file to have decent mobility, if you want to shoot around the guy in the front he has to stand in the center or left and you have to stick your gun around his right side. In the third or fourth rank? You're not hitting anything unless you use a flamethrower. In order to figure out where to go someone needs to consult their map, during which the team needs to cover said person. You will frequently be attacked from the front, rear, and any connecting corridors. The different guns feel unique and serve different purposes.

Movement is really cluncky and moving between areas is a horrible time. Combat is kind of good. But the lack of worldbuilding, lore, story abd mobility of the characters turn the thumb down.

Play Multiplayer only, Get Addicted.

if you have friends to play this with then this is a very good game, however if you just want to do things casually and play solo this game can be pretty rough, the AI's are pretty annoying to use an play with. basically, got friends then go for it, if not then dont expect a blast from it.

This game is a hidden gem. I'm really surprised it's not more popular. I only got into 40k like 6-7 months ago so a few months ago I went and bought all the different 40k related titles and I just got around to playing this and was really impressed.

gun go brrr, bugs go splat, we all happy :)

Space Hulk: Deathwing Enhanced Edition is one of the most immersive Warhammer 40K experiences available, delivering intense first-person Terminator combat, an atmospheric setting, and faithful attention to the grimdark universe of the Imperium. While it has its flaws, this is the closest you’ll get to feeling like a walking tank purging xenos in the name of the Emperor.

The game nails the Warhammer 40K aesthetic. The interiors of the Space Hulks are massive, gothic, and eerie, filled with towering cathedrals, derelict halls, and crumbling machinery from ancient battles. The sound design is phenomenal—bolters thunder, power swords crackle, and the cries of charging Genestealers send chills down your spine.

Combat is brutal and satisfying. Playing as a Deathwing Librarian, you wield iconic Terminator weaponry, including storm bolters, assault cannons, and heavy flamers, alongside devastating psychic abilities. The sheer weight and power of your armor makes every engagement feel intense, as you slowly but relentlessly carve through hordes of Genestealers. The Enhanced Edition adds more weapons, abilities, and customization, making the combat feel even better.

The atmosphere is a standout feature. Unlike most horde shooters, Space Hulk: Deathwing leans into horror elements, with dim lighting, labyrinthine corridors, and sudden ambushes that keep you on edge. The feeling of being trapped in a massive, derelict spaceship, surrounded by xenos, is executed perfectly.

While the game’s AI and mission variety can be hit-or-miss, and movement in Terminator armor can feel deliberately slow, these elements add to the immersion rather than detract from it. Co-op mode is where the game truly shines, as coordinating with fellow Terminators makes every skirmish feel like a true Space Marine operation.

If you’re a Warhammer 40K fan, Space Hulk: Deathwing Enhanced Edition is one of the best ways to experience the universe firsthand.

Rating: 7/10 – A brutal, immersive Warhammer 40K experience that makes you feel like a true Terminator. Purge the xenos!

Ultimate power fantasy. wonderful game if a bit clunky at first, but it hits a note no other game can when you have a squad to play with and slaughter xenos.

Fun maps and enemies. Depending how you like to play, you can melee or use ballistic and energy weapons to suit your style.

Pretty fun Warhammer game to play with the friends. I hope one day we pick it up again and finish the campaign (now that the Space Marine games have made me a fan)

i like it, kinda hard but but more a slow deliberate game than a fast paced shooter, like playing a tank that can punch stuff.

I slept on this game and holy Terra this is amazing. Kill the xenos.

One of the worst 40K games I have ever played, I tried to like this game but the ridiculousness of the gameplay at the lowest level is staggering. Largest issue is target selection, game is so full of head wobble, flare, and the inability to see anything much less attack it during a swarm that it is impossible for you to target anything much less kill anything (and yes I reduced the wobble and flare to low via the options screen, while I no longer wanted to puke it still sucked) NPC control is via the spacebar and then point with the mouse to select your action so forget getting healed or healing them during a swarm in any effective manner. Enemy weapons are seriously OP, a light laser/stubber will reduce you to dead in a few seconds while the most powerful plasma cannon takes a few hits to kill lesser infantry? Dialogue is mundane and uninteresting with allot of rhetoric phrases that mean nothing because you re gonna die when you get to a chokepoint/objective anyway due to the game physics. Save points suck because it saves after you emerge from a warp gate and not when you enter it/ so going back and choosing better weapons will not happen. Weapon load out is weak, and locked, so forget choosing the force sword with many of the bolt pistols and others. Thankfully i bought this on sale.

if you told me two years ago i could play as a walking tank with a flamethrower and burn heretics i wouldnt believe you but you can with this game

This game was fucking terrible. Felt like shit, terrible gun play, melee was useless. Instant refund.
Not even worth the $5 i paid.

One of the best immersive 40k experiences you'll ever have. Excellent campaign both for solo or co-op. Great multiplayer mode with plenty of options to play how you want.

Environments look good....thats literally it. These devs clearly like 40k as every game they've made has either been influenced by it or been a licensed 40k game.

None of them are very good. This one is no different. E.Y.E has its supporters, but it's the only one I haven't played so idk but you can't say it isn't obviously jank af. I have played this and hired gun, I couldn't last for longer than a couple hours in both due to them just being awful and I have an unusually high tolerance for kinda jank games, mods, and 90s classics with archaic graphics. I can't, however, deal with dog water gameplay and systems.

I only played the co-op mode, this is easily one of the worst coop games I've ever tried and I've played a lot of them. The design is a mess; it is full of hilarious bugs though if those improve the experience for you.

if u looking for a story game with cutscenes and story telling this isnt for u
space hulk is missions are same . spawn in battleship kill tyranids and go next chapter . no cinematic no cutscense just that . i searched youtube for end game and even in that there wasnt cinematic
maps are too dark and if u increase brightness just make game awful . soundtrack : ha?!?!?
ai is horrible ur friend in game just walk and die as soon as possible
only good thing about this game is verity of gun

BROTHERS. if you like the idea of stomping heads of heretics for the name of the emperor than this game is for you... not only is the campaign amazing (and the fact that this game runs smooth on my 2016 HP laptop) the multiplayer is great as well, i highly recommend for a nice little rage induced heretic hobo murder spree... or as a fun game to play as well.

easy to run, looks good, fun gameplay you can play over and over with all the classes in multi. decent story, with good gameplay (even with bots). if you like warhammer or even just how badass terminators are. this is a must have game, especially with friends to play multi

The game is OK. I finished the first chapter which culminated in a hold the position type wave assault that went on for far too long. The cut scene at the end of the chapter was a bit underwhelming compared to the cinematic when first breaching the hulk. I am playing on an RTX 4070 Super and the graphics don’t look anywhere near as good as the storefront screenshots do so, I am not sure that they are representative of the actual game considering that the recommended GPU is a GTX 970. I don’t see myself continuing this as there is really nothing here to suck me in. I would recommend this game if you are a WH40K fan and can get it on a steep discount. Full price $29.99 USD is not a value but at current 85% off $4.49 USD it is worth a look.

While not a horrible game, it simply delivers little to no emotion. I didn't play much because at no point I felt true fun, which I HAVE felt with many other games.
The pace of the game is very slow, specially compared to what they show in the trailers. It's not meant to be played tactically, but it's not nearly as frenetic as other WH games.
The gunplay is mostly brainlessly pressing M1 until the bad guys are dead, but you can also just spam Q if you prefer to get them close.
Depending on the healer bot to get your HP back, instead of going for a good 'ol ground-medikit system is truly annoying. Often you will need to get healed, but the bots on your squad will ALSO be near death, so you're gonna have to keep waiting there until the medkits are recharged so you can heal both (or you can risk getting your teammate dead -which you will-).
The AI is simply embarassing, not even half-an-enemy fights in a smart way, so the difficulty relies on having a bunch of enemies randomly distributed and shooting you from everywhere, which goes agains the limited movement that the game gives you -no jumping, running requires to have stamina and the bar goes empty before you can even cross a hallway-
Also, instead of everyone feeling strong, they all feel weak. It feels like you're weak, but your enemies are weak too, so it's "balanced".
In defense of the game, I will say that I had HUGE expectations, and maybe I am mixing dissapointment with disliking.
If you prefer a slow-paced shooting game, you might enjoy it. But if you prefer something with tons of constant action, I suggest Space Marine (both 1 and 2) or Gunbolt.

The game is pretty dead, but not as dead as those disgusting xenos. FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!! FOR THE LION!!!!!!!
REPENT FOR TOMORROW, YOU DIE!!!!!!!!!!

Unpleasant shaking of the camera when running, the map has confusing corridors in which it is not clear where to go and this gets boring very quickly.

Not the game I expected. Feels pretty clunky. The main character is bulky which is sort of weird playing first person since a lot of the field of vision is obstructed. The intro was also not that compelling. I did not give this a proper attempt to truly rate it, so you should see for yourself if this is your style of game. Felt more like a co-op squad based game versus a solo campaign/story driven game, which is more what I was anticipating/hoping for.

Hugely underrated game. If you manage to find people to play with it's really really fun.

I really like the game. That atmosphere is great, textures, lighting and sound are all amazing. One caveat that drives me nuts though is that the controller is nigh unusable. Joystick speed is lightning fast and the tactics do not work with the D-pad. I am using a standard XBOX Controller that Steam tells me is fully compatible, but I could not even finish the tutorial using a controller. I had to switch to mouse and keyboard. Did some digging online and see this is a common complaint. Also, voice lines are a bit stale. I think I heard the same voice line probably 50-100 times in just the first mission alone so some variation would have been nice.

AI is really bad, you have to manage other units to heal you while getting blasted.

I wish Warhammer games like this were not only made for Co op.

Single player is an awful experience.
