There are plenty of reasons to be cagey over the current state of Deathwing, but the game's lack of Left 4 Dead DNA isn't one of them. If that all sounds underwhelming and rather tedious, don't be put off just yet. What you get is more of a glorified survival mode stretched thin over nine large levels, with you and your Terminator Space Marine buddies under regular assault by waves of Alien-inspired creatures as you stomp a steady path from one distant objective to the next. Sure its multiplayer game is co-op only (and its campaign fed by AI bots), with you and up to three others up against relentless hordes of skittering horrors, but Left 4 Dead's clever narrative framework, its dynamic stage direction and cast of sarcastic characters are hard to make out in Deathwing's grim darkness of the far future. I can't see it much myself, but Deathwing is supposed to be Warhammer 40k's take on Left 4 Dead. An impressive handling of the Warhammer licence, Deathwing is sadly a less than impressive tactical shooter.
