Plot
Mechanics

Imperial Fists is the first DLC for the PC release of Space Hulk: Ascension – 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.

Plot

This expansion features a new playable faction – the titular Imperial Fists chapter, as well as a new story campaign: Shield of Retribution, adding 15 missions to the entire experience. During the campaign, players have to command new characters with the objective of retrieving an ancient imperial spaceship from the hands of Genestealers.

Mechanics

The new missions offer an opportunity to utilize the newly introduced Tarantula Sentry Turrets, able to handle larger groups of enemies. These turrets arrive in two possible versions – the first one with a limited clip size and 180-degree spin angle, and the latter one with a 360-degree vision and larger clips.

The Shield of Retribution story campaign is well accompanied by a set of 20 new Flash Missions, tailored to the Imperial Fists chapter, however one can finish these missions playing one of the 3 Space Marine factions from the base game.
