The Ascent

eekfek · 26 Jul 2021 at 20:04

Rpg shooter in a cyberpunk world that looks rather tasty ?

The Ascent is a solo and co-op Action-shooter RPG, set on Veles, a packed cyberpunk world.

Welcome to The Ascent Group arcology, a corporate-run metropolis stretching high into the sky and filled with creatures from all over the galaxy. You play as a worker, enslaved by the company that owns you and everyone else in your district. One day, you are suddenly caught in a vortex of catastrophic events: The Ascent Group shuts down for unknown reasons and the survival of your district is threatened. You must take up arms and embark on a new mission to find out what started it all.

You belong to the corporation. Can you survive without it?

Looks great. It's on gamepass. I have preloaded it, but I'm not sure how well it will work on my aging pc.

ne0 · 27 Jul 2021 at 16:39

I'm just waiting on the reviews before buying. It looks superb though.

Thankfully not

Tombstone · 29 Jul 2021 at 11:29

Anyone know when this unlocks? Ive downloaded it on ms gamepass and all ready

D3K · 29 Jul 2021 at 11:30

Journo comment on steam says "like diablo with twin sticks" or thereabouts. Anyone know if this actually is twin sticks?

Tombstone · 29 Jul 2021 at 12:24

6pm for unlock apparently, got 8.8/10 in the first review I've seen, so its sounding promising

Tek81 · 29 Jul 2021 at 12:27

Not that it's a "make or break", but is it fully voiced?

DanF · 29 Jul 2021 at 12:40

Fingers crossed it's good, music and art style are really good. Think it's out in about 5 hours on steam.

In previews I've seen there has been VA but I couldnt state whether that was just some NPCs voiced or full VA

The lack of reviews from well-known sources is of concern.

Gonna wait it out on this.

ICDP · 29 Jul 2021 at 14:34

There are plenty of reviews out if they matter to you.

I've skipped through a lot of reviews as I don't want spoilers but it does seem the game is actually really rather good !!

Nate75 · 29 Jul 2021 at 17:56

yeh looking forward to this.. looks up my street

oldestgregg · 29 Jul 2021 at 18:00

Waiting to play this now. Got it on Game Pass but despite the countdown being over the game still is not playable yet?

Edit - Scratch that I rebooted Xbox app we are good to go! Been super excited to play this since it was announced and reviews seem positive so far.
