How it feels
a relentless, beat 'em up roguelike where each new run feels fresh but punishing, demanding precise combat and adaptation.

What players say
Players are split on Ascendant. Some enjoy its rogue-lite platforming and couch co-op, while others find the combat frustrating and the enemy variety lacking. It is a moderately difficult game with procedural levels and no saving when you die, and it is now free.
