How Long Is Ascendant?
Yet another roguelike
This a roguelike 2D platformer/brawler. You move between small areas filled with chests, enemies, bosses and shrines. 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 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.
This review is for the PC (Microsoft Windows) version
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.
This game and 26 others are permanently free on GOG.com:
