With some of the most nerve-shredding strategy you can engage in and a real embarrassment of riches when it comes to content, Space Hulk Ascension’s niggles aren’t nearly enough to derail it from being both the best Space Hulk title and one of the better turn-based strategy titles available right now.

It manages to take a step forward from the previous episode, and becomes one of the most faithful adaptations of the Warhammer universe.

The game lacks proper storytelling and has a clunky user-interface. Still, it’s very faithful to the original Space Hulk board game which is always a plus. [Dec 2014]

The new edition of Space Hulk is a rich and compelling turn based strategy game. Multiplayer support is gone but we got three full campaigns in return.

Full Control revisits the “Space Hulk” franchise by improving the game in every possible field. Deep tactical turn based battle approach, interesting unit customisation, true to the tabletop source material design and a claustrophobic atmosphere deliver an excellent game.

Space Hulk: Ascension Edition is the more complete and refined version of 2013’s title bearing the same namesake.

Space Hulk: Ascension Edition achieves its goal of enriching last year's effort in terms of gameplay and single player content. It's definitely a worthwhile purchase provided that you are willing to accept some of the game's idiosyncrasies that stem from Space Hulk's board game roots.

The Ascension edition of Space Hulk is better than its predecessor in every regard. The tactical gameplay opens up a lot of opportunities and the Warhammer-atmosphere is well-made. Its presentation is still a bit barren though and we miss the hot-seat-multiplayer of the first Space Hulk.

Space Hulk: Ascension rises to the challenge by preserving the spirit and most of the mechanics of the original board game, while still expanding on the design to embrace its new home on the PC.

Space Hulk Ascension is a faithful port of the famous board game with some new additions in the RPG ballpark that make the game both fun and interesting for tactical players. Too bad for the presentation issues that keep the game away from true awesomeness and don't do justice to the wonderfully crafted world of Warhammer 40k.
