Space Hulk Deathwing is going to be worth the hype or another hot mess? Come see what Squirrel from ChaoticCouplesGaming has to say about the Beta!

Hello everyone, Zeb, aka Squirrel from ChaoticCouplesGaming here and here are some of my thoughts on the upcoming title, Space Hulk Deathwing! Please remember while reading this that this is only the Beta gameplay and many things are subject to change.

One of the first things I noticed about the game was the servers and how it took a long time for the list to appear and then at quick glance the ping is very sub par. So I decided to host a game on my own. After waiting for only 2-3 minutes, I had a full squad and we were ready to play the game.

There are four different difficulty levels available for your squad of Terminators to bash through. All the gameplay you will see in the video below was on the third difficulty setting. Here are three of the five classes.

The five classes playable are, Assault Speciality, Heavy Weapons, Speciality, Librarian, Apothicary, and Tactical Speciality. Of these classes there can only be one Librarian and one Apothicary in each squad while the other classes can be repeated. Each of these classes can be customized both in the beginning and as you level the characters.

The graphics on the gameplay is incredible and leave very little for complaint. The sounds are just what you would expect from the loud footsteps of the terminators and sounds of the Bolter fire, to the screams of the Xenos as they charge gleefully toward their bloody demise.

This game is definitely something you want to play with a squad of friends because communication is crucial for success.

All damage you take is localized, so if you take too much damage in a certain limb then that part of your Terminator armour is useless and can not be used until you are healed.

For a look at the gameplay and to hear all that we have to say, check out the video below. You can also catch ChaoticCouplesGaming live on Twitch.

Space Hulk: Deathwing: $39.99

Space Hulk: Deathwing is a First-Person Shooter experience based on Games Workshop’s classic Space Hulk boardgame set in the universe of Warhammer 40,000. Space Hulk: Deathwing was developed on Unreal Engine 4, and offers you and up to three of your friends the chance to experience a desperate battle against Genestealers in the claustrophobic tunnels of a Space Hulk. You also gain skills, new abilities, and new equipment as you earn experience during missions.

Space Hulks drift along the currents of the Warp, the immaterial dimension of Chaos. Made up of gigantic, mangled asteroids, ship wrecks, and other stellar debris, they can grow to the size of a moon, and often contain treasured and ancient lost technologies. They are often also infested with broods of the lethal Genestealer.

In the game you take on the role of a Space Marine from one of the most secret and most feared Space Marine forces: the Deathwing of the Dark Angels Chapter.

As a Librarian, you can also master the destructive powers of the Psykers. Your skills and performance in battle grant you Fervor Points to spend on 3 skill trees, allowing you to improve your abilities and unlock new powers.

Don your Terminator armour and arm yourself with the iconic weaponry of the Space Marines and face the threats that await you in the Space Hulk.
