Great Turn Based Strategy Game, very faithful to the original Board Game
I love the PS Vita, sure, It doesn't have the largest library of games, but there are some amazing games out there, completely overlooked, like this one.
Initially I got Space Hulk for the PC on Steam with all the DLC for a good price and I really enjoyed the action and tactical planning involved.
As soon as I saw it was available on the PS Vita, I had to get it, I haven't gotten that far through the game, but the PS Vita cartridge contains all the DLC Campaign levels and ( I think, and hope) the DLC to change your Chapter, it's not just cosmetic either, different chapters have different play styles, I've been using Space Wolves on the PC as they're great in close combat.
The menu buttons can only be used with the touchscreen though, and with the icons being so small, you need to be precise where you are tapping on the menus, but in-game, the touchscreen is great, allowing all the controls to be used on the touchscreen or control sticks and buttons.
It's a great game and if I'd known of its existence sooner, I would've bought it then, but overall, it's great, with plenty of playability and mission specific trophies that you can go back and try again.
Be warned though, this is a LOT like the board game, in that the is no difficulty setting (at least one I could find) so be prepared to lose your Terminators and fail mission objectives a lot, The learning curve isn't too steep, but I grew up playing the board game versions of Space Crusade, Hero Quest and Space Hulk and Advanced Hero Quest, not to mention AD&D before I got into playing Warhammer 40K, so I might have an advantage there.
