Space Hulk: Ascension – Tactical Warhammer 40,000 Combat
Full Control Studios is a name many strategy fans recognize for their dedication to the Warhammer 40,000 universe. After their 2013 outing with the original Space Hulk, they took player feedback to heart to create something much more ambitious. Space Hulk: Ascension is the result of that evolution, turning a classic board game adaptation into a full-blown tactical RPG. This version serves as a total overhaul of the mechanics, offering a deeper and more punishing experience for veterans and newcomers alike. You lead a squad of elite Terminators through the claustrophobic death traps of ancient derelict ships. It is time to purge the xenos.
