These are varied enough that'll you'll find yourself switching and trying different ones out to find your favourites. ![]() You unlock weapons as you progress, and if you upgrade enough you can also unlock weapons for your allies too. Oh, and if things get too hairy you get a certain amount of psygate usages a chapter, teleporting you out of the level and letting you adjust your loadouts. Of course with AI teammates also comes annoying little moments like when they lock each other behind a door, but for the most part it works well. For example, using commands you can enter a room, get a teammate to seal the door behind you, have another teammate defend a corridor while you go on ahead to the objective, then get them all to follow you back out again. There are many commands, however, and tactical options make the game more fun as you can take a considered approach to each situation. By holding the space bar and moving your mouse, you can give quick and easy commands to your allies Nahum and Barachiel, no doubt most often you'll use 'heal' on either yourself or a teammate. Teamwork is a necessity to survive this threat, as we've said, and the design of team commands is great in solo play. Not only that, but the fact you defeat wave upon wave of alien enemies adds to the similarities even more, especially since you're exploring the dark corridors of a spaceship at the same time, your radar flashing red when enemies are nearby, showing movement spots on the HUD. Even the plot, in the loosest sense, is the same - soldiers find something (in Deathwing's case a space hulk), they investigate, find there's something afoot, and monsters come along. This Aliens reference is particularly appropriate here as we were reminded of the film throughout Space Hulk: Deathwing. Whether in single-player or multiplayer, you and your teammates, be they AI or human, must work as a unit and stick together to make sure you're not overwhelmed, which can easily happen when enemies are coming out of the grating beneath your feet, from the ceilings above you, or even "outta the goddamn walls!" In a one-on-one fight you'd beat most Tyranid enemies with no problem, but because they come in droves, that's where tactics come in. Basically, the danger comes from the multitudes of enemies that flood you from every angle at any time.
