Space Hulk: Ascension (also known as Space Hulk: Ascension Edition) is a turn-based tactics video game developed and published by Full Control. It is set in the fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000, and is specifically an adaptation of the board game Space Hulk by Games Workshop. It is a follow-up to Full Control's 2013 Space Hulk.
Space Hulk: Ascension is a turn-based tactics game. The player controls a squad of Space Marine Terminators as they invade "space hulks", a type of spaceship, and battle with alien creatures called Tyranid Genestealers.[1] Compared to its predecessor, Ascension plays less like a board game, with less randomness, an upgrade system based on experience points, and an added fog of war system.[2]
