Ascendant isn’t the most beautiful game in the world. It has a sense of vision, though.
The developer clearly wanted to offer something unique, and I think they largely accomplished that.
This is a rogue-like beat ‘em up platforming RPG. Even saying that is a mouth full. You got lots of melee and ranged attacks, and if you beat up an enemy long enough, you can turn the enemy into a ranged weapon.
Though you can skip the tutorial, I don’ t recommend this. You’re going to have to learn all the different strategies for coming out victorious in a stage.
The best part about Ascendant, though, is that it’s completely free on GOG.com. No DRM. You can own it forever. And as I like to say, you can’t argue with free.
@atomicpoet I actually did thougt this was a pretty game though. I couldn't pinpoint why exactly, since a lot of games also have this vivid, lineless artstyle; but for this game, it really feels at home or hand-crafted or something. More organic than polygonal. 🤔🤔
@atomicpoet No judgement if you can't afford it but I always argue with free. Computer programmers need food, too. I never take the free version if a paid one is available. the market pressure that software should be cheap or free is bad. I want to give for what I get.
@atomicpoet I offer no criticism of your decision but, as a software developer I will tell you that free is always the result of market coercion. Nobody ever gives their work away if they could get paid.
