Description

The Ascent is a solo and co-op Action-shooter RPG, set on Veles, a packed cyberpunk world.

Welcome to The Ascent Group arcology, a corporate-run metropolis stretching high into the sky and filled with creatures from all over the galaxy. You play as a worker, enslaved by the company that owns you and everyone else in your district. One day, you are suddenly caught in a vortex of catastrophic events: The Ascent Group shuts down for unknown reasons and the survival of your district is threatened. You must take up arms and embark on a new mission to find out what started it all.

You belong to the corporation. Can you survive without it?

EXPLOSIVE SHOOTER

RPG ELEMENTS
Customize your character with cyberware that suits your playstyle. Allocate new skill points as you level-up and try various augmentations to take down your enemies in new creative ways.

A VIBRANT CYBERPUNK WORLD
Meet new allies and enemies and find loot as you explore the brimming world of The Ascent and its wide range of districts, from the deep slums to the higher luxury spheres.

    It's safe to say that the game now reflects what we should have experienced at launch*****

    I initially fell in love with this game upon its release – it boasted a breathtaking world and enjoyable gameplay. Regrettably, it was marred by numerous technical issues, rendering co-op play practically unplayable due to game-breaking glitches. I set it aside for a while, but recently returned to see how it has evolved with subsequent patches. It's safe to say that the game now reflects what we should have experienced at launch – devoid of bugs or glitches, seamless co-op, and resolved progression barriers, among other improvements. Furthermore, the addition of features like Photo Mode, Transmog, and English voiceovers for dialogues, with New Game+ on the horizon, has elevated the game to a truly fantastic level. I wholeheartedly recommend revisiting it if you initially shelved it when it first debuted.

    Good Cyberpunk Game*****

    Game has it's high's and lows.
    i like the sound, the ambiente and the soundtrack.
    the story is good, but nothing too fancy or exciting.

    the gameplay was, unfortunately for me, not so good. especialy the balancing was not good. also the loot system was not working as i very early found 2 weapons that i used nearly all the game long.
