Ascendant is the unforgiving beat 'em up that challenges you with a new world each time you play. It utilizes a number of modern roguelike elements such as permadeath and procedurally generated environments. You are a demigod who invades a plane controlled by your rivals. They will stop at nothing to eliminate you. Only the most impressive warriors will triumph over their armies of zealots and beasts.

You fight enemies with melee weapons and magic, or by launching things into them/them into things. Death is permanent. There are no permanent upgrades and only a few different characters to choose from (only 2 unlocked from the start).

The gameplay is okay …

The gameplay is okay but not tight enough for me. I also have zero interest in constantly starting from scratch, fighting the same starting enemies over and over again.

It's free-to-play on GOG:

Decent.

Ascendant is a brawler and you will have fun watching the amazing artwork of your character slicing his way through a marauding horde of enemies. The game is not for the faint-hearted though, as death is final and a lot of people will (like me) get annoyed far too easily due to this.
