The Ascent is a twin-stick action role-playing game set in a densely layered cyberpunk arcology after its ruling corporation collapses. Players battle through crowded, vertical environments using an arsenal of weapons and cybernetic augmentations.

Combat rewards positioning and cover in its destructible surroundings, while RPG progression lets players customize builds around firepower or gadgets. The game can be played solo or with others, exploring a dense, atmospheric world dripping with neon and grime.
