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 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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.

Very fun
Its a fun old school top down shooter with good graphics and interesting atmosphere. plus I like the soundtrack cool 80's movie vibe.
1.场景美术好,但辨识度不高,地图也是。一味的追求赛博朋克的风格,却不在地图设计上下功夫反而成了游戏设计的一大缺陷。 2.玩到现在全是接任务,跑过去开枪-接任务,跑过去开枪。毫无驱动力玩下去, 3.哪怕游戏很简单的成长驱动...这游戏到了中期怪的成长比你大你信?你越玩越弱,这什么逆天设计。弃坑了玩不下去

GORGEOUS game, truly beautiful... but too buggy to get through. Both my GF and I played it, separately and in coop, on either a next-gen GPU (W11) and an old GTX680 (W10 and w7). Glitched game-breaking quests, tech-hangs, player controls conking out, game freezes, etc. If things get fixed, I'd be happy to edit my review. It is truly a beautiful game.
De início eu estranhei a visão isométrica, mas depois eu entendi que era a única maneira de mostrar o quão imensa e detalhada é a Arcologia. Jogo fantástico, final perfeito!
[b]Gameplay[/b] its a great top-down shooter. yes, thats basically it. you shoot, dodge, throw bomb, shoot more, press button! no puzzle. no fishing minigame. no cooking. just violence. and honestly? thats enough. [b]Graphic[/b] chaotic beautiful. thats probably the best way i can describe it. the world building is REALLY good. every street, building, road, billboard, random neon ♥♥♥♥ in the background has so much detail. the whole world actually feels like a living cyberpunk city instead of just "cyberpunk wallpaper simulator." its colorful but also dark and dirty at the same time. the ambience is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ immaculate. I LOVE IT. [b]Story[/b] its okay i think. there is some great lore, and the setting itself is interesting, but the actual story didnt really make me go " I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT." its good enough to keep shooting people while occasionally pretending im paying attention to the dialogue. [b]Sound Design[/b] also really good. many NPC has their dub. i love the ambience, the music, and all the random sounds happening around. the city actually sounds alive. you can hear machines, traffic, people, explosions, random cyberpunk sh*t happening in the background. very nice. [b]Performance[/b] this is the biggest minus for me. sometimes i get lag and occasional freezing after playing for a while. it feels like the game starts eating my VRAM. performance could definitely be better. [b]Overall[/b] its worth playing. im still amazed by how good this game looks, especially the physics and the amount of detail they put into the world. the worldbuilding is PERFECT for the cyberpunk vibe. the roads, buildings, lighting, random background details... everything fits together really well. honestly, this could easily be one of the top top-down shooters if the performance issues were fixed.
A fantastic take on the ARPG genre
Good game but keeps freezing. In my 2 hours of gameplay it froze twice and had to restart missions again. I do NOT recommend this game in this state
С удовольствием прошёл, после работы побегать расслабиться само то
Хорошо, но мало )))
