Space Marines are seven-feet tall genetically-engineered, power armoured Super Soldiers where one in one-hundred neophytes who are trained as Space Marines survive (to say nothing of the pre-adolescent aspirants who were considered for induction and who they fought before hand.), split into unique 'Chapters', and are devoted to the defense of humanity, the brutal, totalitarian and completely necessary Imperium of Man uniting them, and its now-on-life-support founder, who also developed the engineering process behind their creation, the God-Emperor of Mankind. While the aforementioned games are Real-Time Strategy games, the company has created a Third-Person Shooter before, The Outfit, set in World War 2, which received mixed reviews.īeing Exactly What It Says on the Tin, the game is set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe where you play as one of the Adeptus Astartes, the Angels of Death - or more colloquially, the Space Marines. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is a Third-Person Shooter published by THQ (with the publishing rights later changing hands to Sega after THQ went out of business in 2013) and developed by the creators of the Dawn of War, Company of Heroes and Homeworld series, Relic Entertainment.
