The game has many random elements from the board game that can get you killed by sheer (bad) luck no matter how careful your planning may be, but luck can be on your side if your defence die roll is high enough. The game can be played from either 2D overhead (useful for planning movement) or 3D perspective for up-close-and-personal view of the aliens. A ship carrying high-ranking marines have been hijacked by aliens, and it's up to you as commander of 4 veteran marines to save the day. Like its predecessor, Space Crusade is an excellent tactical turn-based wargame based on a Games Workshop boardgame, this time the more famous Warhammer 40,000 universe. Space Crusade is a follow-up of sorts to Gremlin's underrated Hero Quest. It is still a nice game but not much more than that. The sound included fits well to the game but overall Space Crusade could have been better and it would have helped a lot if their had been some kind of story or at least an extensive game intro. Of course the game screen could have been a bit longer from your men, which would result in a broader view of the entire game area. The graphics are quite good and well detailed meaning that you have a good over of the entire game.

There are a few flaws in the movement process though but otherwise the original game has been followed quite well and the conversion from the board game to the PC format has gone quite good. Unlike a game like Space Hulk all action is turn based which really is my personal preference but of course I also think it should be it when the board game is (kind of hard having real-time action in a board game don't you think?).

At first you might have problem with finding out how to control your men and how the different functions work so if you already know the board game that is a big help. It is obvious that the game is based on an actual board game as the game area is divided up into small fields and each of your men can only move a certain amount of times before they have to wait until you get a new turn again. You control a crew of different space marines that have to fight against other enemies including other space marines at different places including several old space marine outposts. Games like Warhammer: Final Liberation and Space Hulk are other games taking place in the same period. The time is around 40.000, which means that the game is of course taking place in the popular fantasy game Warhammer 40.000 (also known as Warhammer 40K). Space Crusade is based on the popular board game by Games Workshop. Board the enemy ship, eliminate the opposition and complete the mission.

You will get a mission, 4 marines and a commander and some equipment. In the game, You control a group of Space Marines, specially trained squadrons for Alien termination.

Space Crusade is set in the well known Warhammer 40.000 series in the world of Space marines, Orks, Gretchins and Legions of Chaos. What we have here now is computer version of this great game. We learned all the rules and played it for ages! It really is something. It was not available here, so it was pretty unique for us. When I was about 13 years old, my cousin bought a board game called "Space Crusade".
