Game Review: Space Hulk Ascension - Imperial Fist DLC

The first DLC addition to Full Controls second stab at the classic Warhammer 40,000 series, this sees another famed space marine chapter joining the Ultramarines, Space Wolves and Blood Angels. Famed as siege specialists and tenacious urban fighters, the Imperial Fists abilities are largely defensive, contrasting them with the other chapters. Rather than offering attack bonuses or certain special weapons, the Fists instead benefit from improved heat management and defensive melee bonuses. This allows them to better hold choke points, fire longer, and stand a better chance of surviving when ambushed in close combat, with the added bonus of being able to bring down a Tarantula heavy weapons turret. The latter proves to be especially useful as it offers an additional fire-point to block off a hallway with a wall of fist-sized bullets.
