    Top Game. Für die paar Stunden war es völlig ausreichend. Man merkt dem Spiel sein Alter von +10 Jahren an, allerdings macht es immer noch Spaß. Freue mich schon auf Space Marine 2. :)

To understand Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, we need to look at it from two different angles: when you play this game, do you feel like you are a Space Marine? Are the game mechanics good enough?

    Of course, to evaluate a game, you also need to like the world the game's theme belongs to. However, this may prevent you from writing an objective review. So, think about it, you blindly love Warhammer 40,000. A game of this theme has been developed and you don't like it. What do you do? I'm sure many people bury the game in the grave with negative comments. You need to be objective.

    If you haven't played Warhammer games before, I highly recommend it, but I don't recommend starting with this game. You can experience Warhammer 40,000 with the Dawn of War strategy game series. If you want to experience the Age of Sigmar, ie 40,000 years ago, then the Total War: Warhammer series may be appropriate. You can play Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide and Warhammer: Vermintide 2. If you don't want to spend money, there are loads of Warhammer games on the mobile platform. You can experience them all. Here it will be quite easy to get to know the units and the world.

    Now, although you are the captain of a feared and elite unit in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, some may be more fanatical than you. For example, you're dealing with mindless Greenskins or Chaos minions pretty closely. The gameplay can be so frustrating sometimes that you wonder if I should lower the difficulty of the game. Because, even if you play the game on Normal difficulty, your enemies will challenge you. So if you are playing for the first time, don't hesitate, you can play on the Easy setting. No problem! Over time you will already get used to the action of the game and you can increase the difficulty level. You can do this the next time you play.

    The story of the game satisfied me. So, it's not easy to endear a game to a Warhammer Universe fan. However, you say that they made some pretty good plays in their time. Also, when you look at the current games, you either finish it very easily or the difficulty of the game increases due to the incredibly unnecessary mechanics and you become unable to play. There are still bad Warhammer Universe games out there, but not all of them are like that. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine shines like a pearl among these not-so-bad games. Because the story of the game makes you accept that you are really an Ultramarine captain and you act accordingly. All of a sudden, you put yourself in Titus' place and take your steps accordingly. We can see here that Ultramarines and indeed many people in outer space are disgusted with the Inquisition. The Inquisition's attitude has always been a bit of a standout, and in fact, some think they're also abusing the authority they've taken from the Emperor. That's why they don't like themselves very much. It reveals that the local troops and other units belonging to Space Marine, especially the Ultramarines, quite hate these friends. Although they are fighting against the infidelity of Chaos, it is expected that they will eliminate the infidels among themselves before they become clear.

    You have the opportunity to use many different conventional and melee weapons. Fortunately, each of the melee weapons also has a separate combo. By applying these combos, you can prevent your enemies from resisting. However, the weapons you need to use in some sections may not be effective against your enemies. So after double-checking the weapons you have, move on to the next section. For example, Meltagun or Lascannon can be quite effective against your tough enemies.

    Finally, the game offers the player very smooth gameplay. Technically, I didn't encounter any problems, but considering that the game was developed in 2011, we have to consider that it has undergone quite a few updates. The online modes of the game are appetizing and there is a process. So, whether you play on the Chaos side or the Space Marine side, your account has progressed and you can edit the weapons and equipment your character will have, even down to their armour.

    Finally, I can say that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine can be an invaluable experience for those who love the Warhammer Universe and are new to this world.    … Expand

    Great example of a game that is fun to play and actually fun to PLAY. A lot of branded games ride on the IP of whatever they're covering, but this game proves itself. It has engaging and evolving mechanics that make you more powerful as you progress making battles that were difficult at the beginning a cakewalk by the end.

    Likes the gameplay, guns and gadgets directly deliver. Graphically, the game didn't hold up so well, but okay. The visual itself is still very caricatured and the atmosphere is a bit off. But, that's how the gameplay is, it's like Gears, but better. Orcs burst like blood bags. 10 out of 10. Well, not exactly 10, 8 out of 10. I'm waiting for the second part.

    I would say this is almost the perfect third person action shooter. This game attempts and succeeds at making you feel like a force to be reckoned. The only downside I would say is that the majority of the enemies are orcs which does feel mildly bland but doesn't detract cripplingly from the overall gameplay experience, so I highly recommend this game.

    WARHAMMER 40,000: SPACE MARINE is a blast of pure testosterone and the WARHAMMER universe has thankfully not been invaded by the cancer of wokeness yet.

Space marines are men, real men, not the liberal man bun wearing beta boys of today. If you're one of those, stay away from WARHAMMER 40,000: SPACE MARINE as it will most certainly offend you. SPACE MARINE celebrates genocide (of greenskins aka orks). Space Marines (and generally most of the humans in the Warhammer universe) are religious fanatics (and no, not moslems, so another thing that will offend the woke crowd). You play a white male (yes, I know, how horrible!). No customizing.
    WARHAMMER 40,000: SPACE MARINE is a power fantasy that is fun despite being simplistic. This 3rd person shooter is not an open world game, but rather has you maneuver levels that are much like the airport mazes, the game won't let you stray off course, but does not take you from A to B in a straight line, which is fine. It keeps the action going, there's no BS like crafting or leveling (don't get me wrong, I LOVE RPGs, but RPG elements really have no place in games like this).
    Combat is simple but fun. Like I said, it's a power fantasy that combines shooting with melee hack and slash. Most of the time you will be shooting and slashing (or hammering) hordes of orks to bloody paste. Yes, it is very violent. The WARHAMMER weapons are all here, the chain-sword, the power axe, the thunder hammer, the bolter rifle, even the melta gun. Hell, you even get to toss grenades into crowds of orks. Later you get a jetpack that lets you fly up and slam down onto enemies either stunning them or killing them outright. There's a fury mode that is charged up by hitting enemies. Fury mode is a sort of berserk mode that increases damage output and slowly regenerates health (no there is no automatic generating health outside fury mode).
    There is a great variety of enemies, with increasingly tougher enemies introduced with the occasional cutscene. After you run out of orkish cannon fodder, chaos creatures are introduced.
    SPACE MARINE doesn't overstay it's welcome either, the campaign runs about 4 - 5 hours and ends on a high note without getting boring. There are no "fillers" or drawn out objectives. It does not have the superb atmosphere and environment that SPACE HULK DEATHWING has, which is why it's second to that game.
    The story and the campaign is really good without being dragged out with hours of cutscenes, just enough for a breather in between combat with good writing for a game of this type. SPACE MARINE even mops the floor with DOOM (2016) and of course DOOM ETERNAL, as there is no platforming (and NO JUMPING!). ID Software, take notes: NO JUMPING! And guess what, not once did I think, "dayum, I wish there was jumping and platforming", not once!
    The graphics are good (for a 2011 game) and character models look amazing for it's age (sure beats DRAGON AGE: INQUISITION and MASS EFFECT ANDROMEDA's ugly models). I love the voice acting, especially the orks who have Cockney accents. That is just awesome! This is a game done RIGHT!    … Expand

    Space Marine gave us what we wanted to do for a long time - play as an actual space marine and kill thousands of enemies in the name of the emperor. And for some time it works and the gameplay is fun. After a few hours, it begins to feel a bit repetitive as there are just a few types of enemies. The main story is ok but nothing special.

It based itself on combat, not on graphics, which means that there's still a fun brawler here. The fun of the game comes from determining how you will obliterate your next set of victims - swapping between ranged and melee attacks is easy enough that you'll find yourself headshotting one orc just before placing your axe into the brains of the rest. I was disappointed in the reliance on executing enemies for health because you make yourself vulnerable while the animation plays, so it's very possible that you will die in an attempt to gain health. You also can't execute enemies from range, so certain enemies at the end of the game take a lot of bullets to put down since multiple headshots will stun them, rather than kill them. Lastly, the game requires that you have the pistol and bolter (assault rifle) the entire game, limiting your choices of weapons to just two - and typically you'll want one of those weapons to be the sniper rifle, meaning you really only get to choose one weapon from the variety that they give you. They also let you choose melee weapons, but never really explain how they're varied from each other (i.e. after I got the power axe, I never went back to the Chainsword because I thought the axe was more powerful, but I was still given the opportunity multiple times to switch back to the chainsword. I don't know why). Inside of the game, while the plotline is fairly mundane, the writing deserves a bit of credit because the entire human faction maintains a strong stoic, Roman-esque aura that lends credibility to the idea that the Ultramarines are basically gods among soldiers. They're treated with reverance and they speak like thespians.

    I wouldn't have paid full price for this game on release, but even at this point in time, it's worth putting some time and money into if you're curious about what this blood-soaked game contains and feel like bashing in some ork skulls.    … Expand

    Se siete fan dell'universo di Warhammer 40mila vi consiglio caldamente l'acquisto del gioco. THQ tratta con rispetto i fan del gioco di miniature descrivendo la giusta atmosfera. Ho giocato la versione in lingua inglese ed il doppiaggio è eccellente (con sottotitoli che rendono comprensibile la trama anche a chi non è avvezzo con l'inglese parlato).
    I programmatori sono riusciti a sfornare un game-play frenetico, soddisfacente e che non cade nella ripetitività comune ad altri giochi del genere. La trama è prevedibile ma poco importa in un gioco di azione come questo....specialmente perchè le sequenze animate usate per narrare gli eventi sono esaltanti e curate.

After cranking the graphics up to max, the game looks pretty damn good, even for being 4 years old. The graphics are crisp, the environments are pretty engaging and the scenary is awsome, but the indoors can get bland at times, the character models and animations are awesome as well as the animations! The gameplay is fun and the transition between shooting and melee is smooth. The melee weapons stay useful throughout the game (at least halfway through where im at). In fact ever weapon slot has upgrades, so none of them get old. The story is okay, let me explain; its a pretty cool story, but it never really hashes out an overall objective and sometimes you feel like you are just running from one thing to another. I mean these guys never get a break? Even after winning battle after battle and turning the tide of an invasion, its like "big deal we got more sh** for you to do right now!" I would have much preferred a home base you can go to between missions and upgrade your weapon slots. It would have provided for some break in the action, plus it would allow for some cool customization between levels. Overall i think its gameplay is really fun and satisfying, at first it seems like just a hack and slash but button mashing will get you nowhere. You should plan out strategies for every big battle and you will be rewarded. Combined with the good graphics and passable story i think this game is definitely worth a play through. Multiplayer seems fun, although i only played a few games, i can see the draw in it. It really seemed important to stick with your squad. Even though i was facing people 15 levels higher than me i was able to finish with a 3-2 one game and a 4-5 another game, so i felt by no means hopelessly overmatched by the upgrades. I gave this game a 9 but now that ive played the whole thing i think an 8 is more suitable.… Expand

I also really enjoy hearing the different sound for the remaining bolts in the magazine, giving an audio cue of your remaining rounds without having to look.
    It does have its flaws, though. For starters, I am disappointed by the lack of graphic options. It always looks great, but I want the warm feeling of controlling the options. Also, the combat is not very deep, making the game feel repeatative at times. You could argue that it being a "hallway shooter" with limited freedom is a flaw, but it's still fairly standard practice in shooters. It does feel cramped at times, though. And limiting SPOILERS; while I felt the final battle had an anti-climatic end.....I really couldn't suggest something better without breaking lore/tabletop rules.

    Also throw in good steamworks multiplayer and horde co-op that still has a surprising amount of players for 2014.
    If you like sci-fi shooters, you can't really go wrong with this. It goes on sale occasionally on steam, so you can wait for the seasons if $30 is too much. If you are a fan of the Warhammer 40k universe you should already have this game.    … Expand

Holding Melee should have been stun, and lo and behold, they fit on a mouse and directional keys instead of having 11 controls (I have an older version of the game, maybe they fixed that).

    And these things (controls, checkpoints, etc) keeps it from being a GREAT game. But it is a GOOD game, and I recommend it. I heard people say 50 dollars. I recommend you get it cheaper. Right now it's 20E and I say go get it.    … Expand

    Pros -The 40k universe is well pictured and as expected revolves around the unsubtle epicness of the franchise. -The RPG elements nicely supports the action part of the game, rather in-depth visual personalisation and decent class/ability/perk unlockable system -Great multiplayer in all its variants, co-op arenas, tdm, ffa etc. -The    A highly under-rated entertaining action game.

    The campaign requires an interest in 40K, while the basic multiplayer modes are fun for all. [Dec 2011, p.67]

    The only thing rising Space Marine from the grey pool of mediocrity is world of Warhammer 40.000 itself. Rich story background deserved more than a linear hack'n'slash game. [Oct 2011]

    A solid debut in action genre for Relic and a must-buy for any Warhammer 40k fan. [Nov. 2011, p.61]
