The value story
December 2014 is where it bottomed out, at $2.49. It has been discounted 34 times in the 13 years tracked here, typically at 80 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.
It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 62 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus ($29.99, scores 72) beats it on value, while it beats Warhammer Quest (Classic) ($29.99, scores 23).
Steam's global achievement data puts about 8 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 9.9-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Inside the two-hour refund window, 42 percent of the 404 reviews written there were positive, against 71 percent overall, and those are 26 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 9.9 hours. Doing everything runs 26, 2.6 times as long.
The drop-off
41% start to 8% finishSteam counts fewer than one in ten of its players at the ending achievement. On a 9.9-hour game, that's a lot you pay for and may never use. Steam global achievements
What players say
TLDR get this if you like Space Hulk in any form. Yes it is brutal, unforgiving (just like the table-top game) and will cause you to rage-quit the game many times (around 3-4 so far for me). I own ALL Space Hulk games on all platforms (including the physical board game, the original boxed DOS game etc) and this is a definite must to include in your collection. All negative reviews are either a skill issue, whining...
This game is SO GOOD. I grew up playing the board game with my dad, and this is a way cooler version of it. It's awesome that they updated it recently even though the game's ancient now (and gave me all the DLC I was missing for free!).
Just like the classic board game. Simple, yet engaging, and plenty of campaigns to chew on. This is the best version of Space Hulk by far.
