About
The Ascent is a solo and co-op Action-shooter RPG set in a cyberpunk world. The game takes place on Veles, a densely populated cyberpunk metropolis known as The Ascent Group arcology. This corporate-run city reaches high into the sky and houses creatures from across the galaxy. Players assume the role of a worker enslaved by the corporation that owns them and everyone else in their district. One day, players are thrust into a series of catastrophic events when The Ascent Group unexpectedly shuts down for unknown reasons. This shutdown threatens the survival of the player's district. Players must take up arms and investigate the cause of these events. The game can be played solo or with up to three friends in either local or online co-op. Players have a variety of weapons at their disposal, allowing them to aim high or low and switch between different options. The main story takes approximately 12 hours to complete. Adding the extras extends the playtime to around 18 hours. A completionist playthrough can take up to 26 hours.Read moreShow less

The Ascent Critic Reviews and Review Scores
EurogamerEdwin Evans-Thirlwell
The Ascent's arcology setting is splendid, if heavily derivative - shame that all you can do here is gun and grind.
PC GamerAndy Kelly

A lovingly crafted action RPG with challenging, satisfying gunfights and an extraordinary cyberpunk setting.

Story isn't its strong suit, but the rest of The Ascent delivers a wonderfully realized cyberpunk world mixed with satisfying twin-stick gunplay to create an enjoyable action-RPG.
Game InformerAlex Stadnik

The soundtrack is a highlight, with clear inspiration from some of the most iconic sci-fi scores in entertainment

The Ascent looks and acts like a video game, but mostly feels like work.
