Alien Assault

Anything to do with Space Hulk, either the old versions or the recently released new version

Alien Assault

Postby timewizard » Fri Sep 18, 2009 1:37 pm

I don't know if any of you remember the site 'teardown'. They put together a space hulk computer game a year or so ago.
They ran afoul of GW's legal department while they were trying to upgrade the game to a new version.
Ultimately, the space hulk game project was shut down.
Shame, really, it's a pretty cool game and follows the space hulk rules.
They have now re-vamped their game, no longer calling it space hulk.
It is now "Alien Assault" and the game will be available for download the end of this month.
Don't know if they intend to charge for it (they didn't for the first one) but here is the link to the site.
Check it out!

Cheers Tim!
BTW, I believe that there may yet be a way to find their original game. :wink:
Of course, that might also be an unsubstantiated rumor.

Hi, for any that might be interested, Teardown has now released Alien Assault version 1.02.
This is a cool game that plays like Space Hulk.
The dowload is available here.

Awesome.. for those who didn't click the link.. one of the big changes between 1.00 and 1.02 is they added 3 more campaigns.. so in GW terms this is not just DOW 1.02 they are throwing in dark crusade and soulstorm :D
I really suck at this game, but I love it.
Barely even lurking..
