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.

Twin Stick cyberpunk goodness!! I've had the pleasure of getting the platinum on the PS and I am more than willing to go through the game all over again. Either solo or with friends, this is a great experience and a must add to your library. Did I mention that the graphics are phenomenal? Max settings are a definite treat to the retinas.
Awesome top-down local co-op without the split-screen hassle! The cyberpunk aesthetic, soundtrack, and story are fantastic. It’s a great homage to story-rich arcade games. Get it—you won’t regret playing this with a friend or significant other.
Worthless game, don't waste your money.
Un avis tardif, mais toujours d'actualité pour cet excellent jeu. Si vous aimez le "hard-cyberpunk", le genre twin-stick shooter et le "hack & slash", ce titre va forcément vous plaire. Les points forts (dans l'ordre) : L'ambiance, les graphismes, la direction artistique, le feeling des combats (exigeants au début, mais gratifiants une fois maîtrisés) et, dans une moindre mesure, la bande-son (un peu inégale, mais certains morceaux sont incroyables). Les points faibles : Un scénario un peu nébuleux et quelques soucis de backtracking, certaines zones devant être reparcourues pour de simples transitions. Le mot sur l'univers : On est sur du cyberpunk hardcore, crasseux, technologique et nocturne. Le jeu va bien plus loin dans cette esthétique qu'un Cyberpunk 2077, beaucoup plus grand public. En ce sens, The Ascent se rapproche énormément d'un Ruiner.
simple fun :)
