Description
Ascendant is the unforgiving beat 'em up that challenges you with a new world each time you play. It utilizes a number of modern roguelike elements such as permadeath and procedurally generated environments. You are a demigod who invades a plane controlled by your rivals. They will stop at nothing to eliminate you. Only the most impressive warriors will triumph over their armies of zealots and beasts.
A Brutal Struggle – Health recovery is rare and the armies of your rivals are ruthless. Dodge and strike when the time is right to seize victory
Agile Beat 'em Up Combat – Launch divine onslaughts with ground and air combos or launch a barrage of spells.
A New World Each Run – Each playthrough creates a new hazardous land for adventure. Expect hours of replayability and new challenges
The game doesn't really function properly. Dying to game limitations rather than lack of skill is extremely annoying. Some of the boss mechanics were interesting though. I think the game could be good if it was completely remade at a higher quality.
It's a "Beat 'em Up" like any other, however this one has caused me special pleasure since its appearance goes beyond a pixelated arcade style. The background music is beautiful and the visual experience is very smooth. The difficulty of the game is not very high, you just have to know how to beat the bosses with special techniques.
The only bad thing about this game is that its PC controls are very poorly done. It is impossible to dash going to the left because you have to press Q in turn, so you have to release the A key. Yes, I know you can rebind the keys, but I have not been able to do it, it works a bit strange. I have played with an Xbox One controller and it has worked perfectly.
Not bad for a free game. Such a great way to kill time playing this game. You just need to parry at the right time and dash as well, bu other than that it's fun.
minor suggestions probably said elsewhere. dash should probably be one button plus a direction defulting to direction player is facing. also player should probably move with moving platforms. combat was excellent and free flowing art was solid and convyed well. consider renaming diffculties.
