Posted by Andrew Stevens on March 21st, 2013

Roadhouse Interactive, in partnership with Games Workshop, have announced that they will develop a side-scrolling action game for smartphones and tablets that is set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. In this title, players will guide a single space marine who is on a journey to destroy endless amounts of enemies.

“We are incredibly excited to bring a part of Warhammer 40,000 to life on mobile and tablet and it’s great to work with Games Workshop. The legions of fans of Space Marines will now be able to fight the Ork menace while on the move!” said Tarrnie Williams co-founder and President of Roadhouse Interactive.

Space Hulk Brings Warhammer 40,000 Franchise to iOS

Posted by Rob LeFebvre on December 10th, 2012


No, this isn't a new Marvel comics game based on the not-so-jolly green giant, but rather a sweet new cross platform game based on the Warhammer 40,000 board and video game franchise. Space Hulk's developer, Full Control, promises cross platform play across iOS, Mac, and PC, so that should be pretty sweet.

The adaptation will bring the claustrophobic, dungeon-diving fear of the original Space Hulk to the digital realm. One player controls a team of space marines that crawls through the narrow passageways of a derelict spaceship, while another player controls the "Genestealers," a race of deadly humanoid aliens. Many of the game's mechanics are based on sci-fi tropes; for example, the Marines can't see all the Genestealers on the map at any given point, but can see radar blips reminiscent of Ridley Scott's Alien franchise.
