Step into the boots of a Space Marine Terminator and face the ultimate test of tactical prowess in the isolated corridors of ancient vessels drifting through the void of space. Space Hulk Ascension brings the brutal, strategic combat of the classic board game to life on your PlayStation 4 with enhanced mechanics that elevate the experience while staying true to the grimdark atmosphere Warhammer 40k fans know and love.
This turn-based strategy game builds upon the foundation of the beloved board game, introducing RPG-style mechanics that add layers of customization and depth to your tactical decisions. Each Terminator squad member can be equipped with specialized weapons, developed unique skills, and leveled up as you progress through the campaign. The 3E system provides a familiar yet refined combat experience, where every move counts and positioning is the difference between glorious victory and glorious death.
Explore derelict starships that have been lost for millennia, their corridors now hunting grounds for predatory alien genestealers. The game introduces new enemy types that test your tactical thinking in fresh ways, along with additional weapons and equipment to help you overcome these horrific foes. An all-new chapter expands the narrative, offering hours of intense gameplay as you lead your small force of fearless Terminators against overwhelming odds.
The atmospheric presentation captures the oppressive tension of moving through confined spaces where every shadow could hide an enemy. The sound design immerses you in the grim reality of your mission, from the heavy footsteps of power armor to the skittering claws of genestealers. Whether you're a veteran of the board game or new to the Space Hulk universe, this adaptation offers a compelling blend of strategic depth and narrative storytelling that will keep you engaged from the first mission to the last.
