Darkblade Ascent

More fun than I expected, but it kinda feels like it's still in early access and really needs a lot of updates. The meta-progression is really lacking and there being only 4 weapon types makes things really repetitive. I do think the game is worth getting on sale, but it's not worth full price at its current state.

fun game to play when im high

A fairly fun hack'n'slash VERY short "campaign" which will give you massive amounts of Class Points but nothing to spend them on when you've very quickly maxed them all out. Extraction Mode is as barebones as it can get, there is no indicator that you're about to be struck from behind, the checkpoint system is shameful and the rewards are beyond garbage. Daggers will finish the campaign for you remarkably quickly, but because of the game design they cannot be "fixed" (Odds on the devs will just nerf the Dagger DPS into the ground and claim it's a fix, rather than balance the DPS versus giving enemies better balance and stats to counteract) Needs: More Class Perks (I have 66 unspent points and it goes up by 1-2 each session) - Some simple ones could be turning stamina into HP, turning HP into stamina, extra move speed when wielding certain weapons etc 6/10, fun enough but not worth the $10 it's currently priced at.

So, Darkblade Ascent isn't bad, but it's janky and could be very repetitive at times. It is definitely overshadowed by Mortal Sin's superior quality. The graphics are fine, nothing to write home about but it keeps I do appreciate some elements. The game runs well, there are a few game modes, special upgrades, abilities, builds, attempting to keep things fresh and replayable. The levels are a bit too "what you see is what you get", they don't tell much story and don't have many notable points in them. They're just environments for you to advance through to kill enemies. They seem a bit like an afterthought or a simple theme for a very simple maze. Gameplay is alright, but if you get a weapon that shoot projectiles at a decent level... well, you're now OP. That weapon perk is absolutely busted. Enemies weren't designed for long distance combat (although a few of them shoot VERY easy to avoid projectiles), so you'll most likely breeze through a LOT of levels with this, because, well, why use something weaker? It kind of "breaks" the game and doesn't leave any interest towards other weapons or perks. The game would've needed a bit more attention, maybe some nerfing and closer attention to level design and variety inside of the levels, but if you wanna listen to some youtube stuff while you're playing something that doesn't require too much concentration, it does the job. I'd recommend it if it's on sale under 5$. Oh, and there's another gameplay mode. Like an arena survival mode and it's super repetitive. Stick to campaign and call it a day once you're through.

combat is awesome but the progression could use some work great gameplay but all the art is AI so it just ends up feeling like cheap ♥♥♥♥

The developers misplaced a decimal place with this one. It's .1 not 1.0 Extremely repetitive, has the potential to be great but once you beat the game there is practically nowhere to go. 500 good ideas in a 1% complete trenchcoat.

fun just wish it was a true dungeon crawl like game or the maps were bigger, maybe a floor based mode
