There are many ways to make a video game. And sometimes, the very inspiration of a game can be interpreted in many different ways. Look no further for proof than Space Hulk: Ascension. This game was inspired by the legendary board game set in the Warhammer 40K universe. But unlike its counterpart in Deathwing, Space Hulk Ascension is a turn based strategy game, one with new RPG style mechanics, weapons, missions, enemies and so much more.
The legends of the Space Hulks are tragic, as they are the wreckages of lost and destroyed ships that have been lost to time, and as such have become fused with other such tragic losses. But these vessels aren't dead on the inside, for the vile and lethal Genestealers roam the corridors of the ships. As such, you are to lead a team of Space Marine Terminators with a single mission, wipe them out.
As you battle through the ships, you'll be able to upgrade your Space Marines to become even more powerful. Build them the way you want, then use their various skills and abilities to overtake any obstacle. With 100+ missions over 3 very different campaigns, you'll find yourself battling for every inch, every foot, and every yard against the Genesteals. But, if you're able to use the right tactics, and use your team to perfection, you will make it out alive.
Plus, you'll get to dive deeper and deeper into these Space Hulks to find out more about them. The mission begins now Space Marine.
