This is the basic point of the game, and what the entire strategy is based on. A few missions will pit you against other enemy types, like "hybrids" that look like two-armed Genestealers with guns, but most of the time its your long-range Marines against the short-range Stealers. They do have numbers in their favor, and can swarm from multiple directions, or send relentless streams of foes down a hallway after you. They have multiple arms, making them vicious in melee combat, but sport no ranged attacks. You fight a group of purple, shark-looking aliens called Genestealers. They use pretty common weapons, so controlling them should be familiar to you. You play as fanatically religious marine-monks who pilot walking suits of armor called Terminators. Vengeance centers around two warring factions. The game doesn't appear to be using any pen-and-paper or RPG rules anyway, so you can consider this game "inspired by," but not a replication of, the tabletop experience. I must admit that I am not familiar with them, so I'm approaching this review from a strictly video game standpoint.

You can find more information on The Incredible Hulk comic books in the trivia and links sections.Space Hulk: Vengeance is based off of the Warhammer 40K tabletop games created by Games Workshop. Little seems to be left of the Hulk’s legendary leaping capacity, however, so the green meat ball is forced to hop from platform to platform every now and then. Luckily, the Hulk’s regenerative powers allow him to regain health slowly. Most levels include at least one arch-enemy, such as Piecemeal, Trauma & Lazarus or the U-Foes. Rare bonus items also allow the Hulk to summon one of the four Pantheon team members Atalanta, Ulysses, Ajax and Hector to assist in the thick of battle. When he has accumulated enough gamma energy, he may use powerful special moves like a Vortex Spin or the Floor Hammer. True to the comic books, the Hulk relies on no other weapons than his massive muscles to punch, kick and crush his enemies. When the lawful Pantheon society of superheroes kidnaps the green giant, he joins forces with his abductors and smashes through 13+2 isometric 3D levels (in a look reminiscent of the Loaded series of games). The popular Marvel comic book hero The Hulk returns to the PC, Playstation and Saturn systems to battle tons of lowly enemies and the occasional monstrous super-villain. The Incredible Hulk is an isometric 3D action game.
