This better than Ascension?

[Yskas]

Brothers, good day, is this product better than Ascension?

[dv]

Depends.

Tactics has better graphics and playable 'stealers. Ascension has more single player content.

[Josywelbs]

no

[hyena]

yep

[Mikolaj]

Ascension works better, tactics is still full of bugs and crashes.

[Knin3]

Ive not come across one bug or one crash for that matter n im nearly 20 hours in.
I own ascension but have not played it, this game on the other hand im really enjoying.

Ascension has alot of premade single player boards + some mod campaigns to download from the net. Tactics has a level editor - makes Ascension obsolete as you can just recreate those scenarios. Multiplayer.
I can't speak for Tactics single player as I haven't played it but Ascension let's you deploy up to 2 full terminator squads at any time plus a tarantula turret. It becomes ridiculously easy if you choose to do so.
As I see it, only reason to play Ascension would be to dabble with a wider assortment of chapters and arsenal. It gets old fairly quickly.

Mod campaigns? Plural? Can you provide more information on that?

Might be hardware related, I was not able to complete the tutorial as it crashes several times, and FPS was jumping between 60 and 5 constantly. However, I can't remember last time I had such a problem and my hardware is not exotic in any way.

@dv well there's this: https://www.moddb.com/mods/cold-corridor-combat , I could've sworn there were more mods on there, can't even see any mods for ascension on nexus.

Far better than Ascension.

If Tactics is so much better why is its rating so smoked compared to Ascension?

Don't know, but everyone rants about anything these days. Just read the ratings with people with 40-50+ hours (what an average play through both campaigns should take). For my part, I find this game far superior and fun than Ascension (I own both, btw, and played Ascension a lot).

Can't even buy Ascension anymore, if you're an SH fan. Tactics'd be worth picking up, as odds are, it won't be available forever.

The usual keyshops still sell it. For now. Dirt cheap if I may add.

[Ginrikuzuma]

definitely prefer Ascension's systems not a fan of dice rolling nor the card system.
