Space Hulk Ascension just got bigger!

The new 1.4 update adds a new game mode to the game - Rogue Mode. This challenging mode pits you against random generated Space Hulks where the aim is to get as much score as possible to compete on Steam Leaderboards.

All known bugs have been fixed in this release as well, including the dreaded relic Assault Cannon bug.

Additionally there is a Successor Chapter DLC pack out as well adding the following super cool chapters to the game in one go:

* Novamarines
* Crimson Fists
* Angels of Redemption
* Flesh Tearers

They inherit the existing mechanics from their parent chapters that are already available in the game.

We just released the 1.3.1 with mainly Dark Angels related fixes.

The change log is

Fixed mission briefings in Dark Angels campaign
Fixed missing Dark Angels StormShield
Fixed Shutter Doors block in INCOMMING THREAT
Fixed Deployment in STEM THE TIDE
Fixed objectives on Salamanders SLEEPERS AWAKEN

FIXED Jamed door bug

The short rundown of the expansion:

* Playable Dark Angels Chapter
* Plasma Cannon weapon option
* Exclusive Apothecary class
* 3 new psychic spells
* Bringer of Sorrow Campaign with 20 New Story Missions and 20 Flash Missions

The campaign is naturally playable by other chapters too like previously.

There is a release discount of 10%.

As a quick heads up, we will remove the loyalty discount after the next DLC.

We again want to express our thanks for all the support from you guys! You are awesome.

The Full Control Team
