Our Ascent Reviews

Surprisingly simple yet captivating

Its a good game but with the update i cant play the game now useing a computer thats running windows 8.

Having played virtually every game in this genre that I am aware of (Inflation RPG, Zawia RPG, Resolute Hero RPG, Infinity RPG, Hero's Quest) this is definitely one of the better ones out there. I have enjoyed my time playing it a lot and have almost 100%ed every character on normal mode so far. The only thing that feels tedious to me is completing the bestiary on each seperate character - I understand that it ties into the metaprogression but I wish there was a different solution. Everything else makes for a rather smooth gameplay expereince. Particular standouts that differentate this from other games in it's genre are the metaprogression which translates over to other characters and the pretty generous droprate on items -you wont have to spend hundreds of runs grinding fgg+1s like in IRPG here. With all that said the game is pretty short so far (compared to others as there is a lot less grinding involved) and I am really looking forward to future content updates. One thing worth mentioning for veterans of the genre (and something I wish I knew earlier) - instead of unlocking a new difficulty after completing a run on normal, you can adjust the difficulty in the settings right at the beginning, meaning you can start playing on ascension right away for a more challenging experience.

Promising start, but as the game progress it becomes more and more unfun. The meta progression is stale and the character unlocks are not exciting or different. I'm nearing completion of the fourth character and all I can think of is how many more dozens of run I need to get to even get for the character to viable. At that point, I might as well play an ARPG.
