The Ascent Reviews

Awesome! I love top-down shooters, and this one is among the best in the genre. It features outstanding level design (10+/10), solid gameplay, a nice RPG component, impressive graphics, and countless small details that make the game a truly atmospheric masterpiece.

Super graphics, sound and world building. At discount a must play.

i really want to like it; its diablo-esque with guns. the graphics and gunplay are nice. the level-design is gorgeous. but the gamplay loop it just a bit... off

This game is fantastic. for me the music and graphics put me in that futuristic atmosphere. its great! its hard to aim with a controler . i played with mouse keyboard and controler ( you can adjust how fast your character moves in the world creating a great immersion feeling. took many screenshots. environment is well built. missions are nice, story telling a bit lacking but still good not to feel pushed out of the game world. best games i payed in a while. for similar games is 10 \10 . overall games i play is a solid 8. worth all the money.

I admit i haven't played a lot of top down shooters before so maybe that explains my difficulty in recommending this game, maybe those of you with more experience with TDS will appreciate it more the game is fun but somewhat repetitive and the bosses are a bit too same same, but the world is beautiful and extremely detailed i think it would be even more amazing if you could play it in first person mode, i'm giving it a thumbs up only cause steam doesn't have a ' meh' ranking

A twin-stick shooter with sort-of-Diablo loot is a brilliant concept and this delivers. Good, challenging gameplay, a story with fun twists and turns, and absolutely gorgeous to look at. It's the perfect length, finishing up just before it would overstay its welcome. I'd like more games like this one.

The game is not bad at all, but [b]don't buy it[/b]! Just trust me and don't waste your time and money on this. The game is riddled with game breaking bugs, flawed multiplayer logic, the devs have completely abandoned it long ago and they don't respond to any messages or inquiries. They've been bought by another company and moved on to another project. I've had my progress blocked and erased 4 times - blocked twice because of the same game breaking bug and erased twice because of poorly designed (i.e. flawed) multiplayer logic. I don't have the nerves or patience to start over and play until the game decides it won't run anymore past a certain point. Really disappointed in these "developers", never gonna play anything from them ever again.

This is one of my favorite junk food games. It plays perfectly on Linux/Steam Deck. I haven't had any real crashes or technical issues playing solo on Nobara or Steam OS. The visuals are gorgeous. The dialog is often humorous. The gun play is pretty good. The fights can be pretty challenging. Its a lot of fun and pretty forgiving if you're new to this kind of game. Great place to start. Go ahead. Add it to your cart. Especially if its on sale. You won't regret it.

Look, I'm not gonna pretend this is the best game I've ever played. Quite the contrary, in fact; this game is not the greatest game you will ever play. It is pretty fun though if you can get over the endless backtracking, which is alleviated by the metro and taxi fast travel options later on. I'm a huge fan of cyberpunk dystopias, and this one is cool looking as hell. So in my honest opinion: give it a shot if that's something you're into. I am enjoying this game.

How the heck could this game be so cool?! I just started but man. I have to rate this up. I'm constantly blown away by the environment. It's so rich, so detailed, yet so vast and the sense of scale is insane. So many places I thought was just set pieces turned out to be accessible. And it looks so good! Not only detailed but the design is so interesting to look at. The lighting is so spot on the atmosphere is incredible. And how they designed the map just makes you feel like there this futuristic dystopian city just has no boundary. the buildings go so deep you can't see the bottom yet they are so detailed all the balconies and air conditioning units, etc. The game worth the price for the cyber punk dystopia along!
