Gamespot's Brett Todd especially criticised the game's AI and menus, noting that 'For every impressive set piece and “wow” moment in combat, there are a dozen befuddling rules or mechanics that make you scratch your head in disbelief. a lot of potential for simple, squad-based fun in multiplayer, it never moves beyond being a stripped-down and poorly running prototype for the kind of game I wish it had been.' TJ Hafer, reviewing the game for IGN, said that 'The glorious moments of fervent xeno-purging are too fleeting, and often left me standing in dark corridors, surrounded by my slain foes, looking for any kind of context or sense of lasting accomplishment. Reviewers have criticised the game for numerous bugs, a lack of polish and optimisation, clunky menus, poor AI, and a lackluster story. The multiplayer campaign allows a group of players to take on the roles of an entire squad of Deathwing Terminators on the same maps used in the single player campaign.Ĭritical reception for the PC version has been mixed. The Deathwing Astartes must clear out these ancient vessels of their xenos infestation to succeed at various objectives assigned to them by the Dark Angels' secretive leadership, called the Inner Circle.

The primary antagonist of the game are the species of Tyranids known as Genestealers, who infest large, ancient conglomerate starships called Space Hulks. An example of one such psychic ability that Librarians in the game can unleash is Hellfire, which sends psychic fire coursing towards the enemy.

A Librarian can use the traditional weaponry of the Space Marines, such as the Bolter and a Power Sword, but also their own psychic might against their foes.

Librarians, unlike other Space Marines, can use the psychic power of the Warp, also known as the Immaterium. In Space Hulk: Deathwing the single player campaign puts the player in the shoes of a Librarian of the Dark Angels Chapter's elite 1st Company of Space Marines, known as the Deathwing, as they carry out a series of missions for the Chapter while wearing Tactical Dreadnought Armour.
