The First 15 Minutes of Space Hulk (Wii U)
Copied from MobyGames:
Space Hulk is a strategy game based on the 1989 board game of the same name (which is set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe). This product aims for a exact conversion of the original Sins of Damnation campaign. There is no plot and the campaign consists of twelve not interconnected missions in which a Space Marine squad fights against aliens.
Combat is turn-based: in each round, every marine has four action points which can be used for actions like moving, attacking or turning; more costly are overwatch and guard. At least in the easier difficulty level, the player also has a few general action points which can be used for any soldier. While there are multiple types of soldiers with different weaponry which have their advantages and disadvantages, the aliens are completely melee based. The result of fights rely on dice rolls and are deadly for one combatant - there are no hit points or character statistics.
