Strategy 24 February 2015

The second official DLC for Space Hulk: Ascension - a turn based science-fiction strategy game created by Full Control as an attempt to translate the popular Space Hulk board game, set in the Warhammer 40K universe, into a video game setting. This time around, the players get to control a new Space Marine faction – the Salamanders chapter. The new story campaign includes twenty missions, in which the Salamanders attempt to retrieve the precious Tomes of Fire and punish those who profaned them. The Salamanders expansion introduces new special abilities and tactical options building on the Salamanders squad members’ biggest advantage – Fire Resistance trait resulting from their modified DNAs. The last but not least among the novelties delivered by this add-on is a set of twenty new Flash Missions.
