Gameplay Footage From Gamescom for Space Marine 2!

Space Marine 2

To start off, the game looks fantastic. Everything feels as cinematic and grand as you would expect it to be.

This footage comes from the second mission of the game, aptly titled “Invasion.”

In addition to some stellar graphical display, we also get an update of the combat system.

Space Marine 2 Melee 1

While turning Tyrinads into Xenos Swiss cheese looks to be as fun as ever, slowly but surely, the never-ending masses will start to chip away at your armor and, eventually, your health.

In this game, medkits will be few and far between, so you want to do everything possible to avoid taking actual damage.

This is where the importance of your melee comes in. Alongside your arsenal of parries and dodges comes a glory-kill-style execution.

Executing enemies is how you can gain back your armor quicker, scaling the results with how tough and large the enemy is.

Space Marine 2 Horde 1

Thanks to the World War Z engine, Space Marine 2 can handle hordes of thousands of Tyranids like a champ.

This adds significantly to the scale as the masses storm and throw everything they can to get to you before the airstrike arrives…
