What is The Ascent? The Ascent places you in a cyberpunk world where the megacorporation The Ascent owned everything and everyone until its collapse. The now free creatures of the galaxy must find their own way in this world. You play as a mercenary, taking on various contracts to make a living.
- You control your hero from an isometric perspective through a dark cyberpunk world
- You can embark on adventures alone or cooperatively with up to 3 friends
- It is possible to enhance your body through modifications
- You collect a lot of loot from fighting enemies, including rare weapons
- Cover plays an important role in combat
- In boss battles, you must proceed tactically and exploit the enemies’ weaknesses
For whom is The Ascent suitable? This hack and slash game is targeted at those who want to explore a dark future world instead of a fantasy world. While melee combat is possible, ranged combat with pistols and rifles is emphasized.
Forecast – How good could The Ascent be? Thanks to Unreal Engine 4, the action RPG looks excellent. The intense battles with numerous explosions and effects are incredibly enticing to take on hordes of enemies. Also, the gameplay makes a fast and fun impression based on the first trailers. It seems that hack and slash fans will be entirely satisfied with The Ascent.
