Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 4.44/day in the week to Aug 4 → 31.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
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?
Play the entire game alone or work together with up to three friends in local or online co-op.
Aim low or high, switch weapons and equip lethal gadgets, take cover and use the destructible environments at your advantage and keep adjusting your tactic as you face new enemies.
Customize your character with cyberware that suits your playstyle. Allocate new skill points as you level-up and try various augmentations to take down your enemies in new creative ways.
Meet new allies and enemies and find loot as you explore the brimming world of The Ascent and its wide range of districts, from the deep slums to the higher luxury spheres.

Reviews
Playing this game in Coop shows a buggy mess, and no updates since 2022.
Очень хорошая игра, не понятно почему так много негатива на нее вылили. Затянула меня не на шутку. Очень детальные локации, и нет похожих что говорит о хорошей работе дизайнеров. Продолжаю играть дальше, сюжет тоже не плох, по своему интересен. Будет интересна в первую очередь тем кто играл в свое время в Crusader No Remorse, мне ее напомнила от части. Пока что в игре все нравиться. Есть некоторые недостатки, но играть не мешают, да и покажите мне хотя бы одну игру без них. Жаль что проект зарубили, не обнов, ни продолжения нет и скорее всего не будет, печально.

good but kinda repetitif
Very enjoyable. Simple upgrade and leveling system that doesn't get too much into the weeds, and competent gameplay mechanics with punchy guns. Extensive open map dense with interesting design. Not a revolution or forced genre fusion, simply a well-executed isometric shooter.
What if Blade Runner had more guns and fewer emotional breakdowns? The atmosphere is gorgeous, neon rain, crowded alleys, pure cyberpunk bliss. There are so many weapons and armour options that you might forget you have a real life outside the loot menu. Co‑op is where the game truly shines: you and a friend turning the city into neon‑coloured chaos. In short: cyberpunk mayhem + slick combat = happy gamer.
Are you also tired of corporate greed ruining everyones life and destroying the world? Than take a break and play a fun videogame about corporate greed ruining everyones life and destroying the world. Oh wait...
gameplay is terrible. even on easy mode some of the battle sequences are near impossible. very frustrating.
Прошел игру за 12 часов... Сюжетка короткая и очень пресная. В атмосферу не верится, скорее поделка на киберпанк
[H1]DO NO BUY! GAME IS BROKEN, CONSTANTLY LOCKING UP AFTER ~1 HOUR OF PLAYTIME![/H1] As much fun as the gameplay is, as amazingly beautiful the visuals are... the game in its current state can only be described as utterly broken. It doesn't matter whether you run it in DX11 or DX12 mode, punctual as clockwork, the game [b]will[/b] softlock on you after about an hour of play, every. single. time. When it does, the only way to close it is via Task Manager... ALT+F4 is soundly ignored to boot. If you're lucky, the game did an autosave relatively briefly before it locked up, but if you're unlucky, the game might also just delete all your saves when it locks up... so, again: DO! NOT! BUY!
For a game only made by 12 peoples it is amazing. Lovely graphism, great gameplay, it rivals hack n slash like diablo clearly. I don't understand why is there peoples who rate it low only because of bugs. It is kind of mean to do that especially when it's an indie game, especially when they don't do the same on other double A games just because they are popular (never saw a bad rate about clair obscur and hollow knight for exemple while they were full of bug and crash at first), its almost like it is targeted. Another proof of gamers being actually the downfall of the industry, because its them who denies great indie game just because of some crash/bugs which are very normal problems nowadays, no need to make a bad rate because of that...
