Space Hulk: Deathwing Enhanced Edition

FOR THE LION!

space marines are not this weak. you don't need them to be overpowered, but dying in just a couple hits is actually absurd.

the game doees have quite a few bugs but the gameplay is preety peak ngl

I originally bought this game because I want to play more warhammer games that aren't rts. I played for about 30 mins, game play feels heavy and sound effects are too quiet / non-existent.

Game of the Century

You need battle brothers to enjoy this, but when you do have them it's BLAST.

For the Lion!

Awesome game,
I love this game, no DEI or Woke nonsense. This is how a FPS should be.

"Press any button to start"
but the `any button` was not programmed in

Hell yeah simulator mixed with Hell no simulator. 10/10

NOT RECOMMENDED, NOT EVEN ON SALE

Note: only 2h in and on mission 2 on easiest difficulty. Fiddling with controller sensitivity did not resolve any of the following issues. Still, this review may be updated, although I can't imagine I'll have reason to.[h3]

Like many W40K games, it's style over substance. You can tell this *could* have been a good game, but it just falls short in so many ways.

[h3]THE GOOD:

- thematically appropriate, beautiful graphics
- honestly, better movement than Space Marine 1. Still heavy and slow as Terminators are meant to be

THE BAD

, i.e. everything else
- bad aim control with controller: your reticule doesn't stop right when you stop moving the stick, making you overshoot your target
- ludicrous kick with the bolters: a space marine can't keep his weapon steady? Sure, you can fire short bursts, but that still throws you off aim a ton. Still, it's your only option unless you fire point blank, at all other ranges you end up shooting over the heads. Hell, your aim waivers a bunch even when you do nothing! Even single shots are barely accurate 10-15 meters from your position
- bad selection control with controller (upgrade menus, outfitting menus): you can hardly stay on the weapon/option you select, it just flits over to the next super quick
- terribly selected and fantastically rare autosave-checkpoints. No manual save as far as I can see
- bad companion bot AI and controls. In the first mission I was trying to get my heavy gunner terminator bot companion to move forward so he would defend the stairs enemies were swarming up. The apothecary still ended up in front of him for forever, and even when the heavy finally got out front, he's so stupid when firing, pretty much EVERY single wave made it into melee range.

I can imagine this would play MUCH better with a competent multiplayer team, but so far I've only seen two running games.Buy this with a group of friends when on sale, or stay away

For the Emperor's sake! Hold to aim, please!

i cant really put it in any words other than its just plain boring

It's a fun game when you don't have someone breathing down your neck and telling you that the game sucks

So so close to actually being a good or even amazing game that ends up dying a death via a thousand little cuts. The "enhanced edition" actually added very little to fix things when even the addition of actual footstep noises for enemies instead of them being uncannily silent would have done so much to fix things.

It's Left 8 Dead except it's Warhammer and it has ten times more depth.

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.

vaikee :D

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.

for


de emprehhhh

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.
