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.
