The Ascent

The Ascent is a top-down action RPG where you shoot your way through a corporate arcology after its ruling mega-corp collapses. You're a worker with cyberdeck skills, suddenly caught in chaos when The Ascent Group shuts down without warning. Automated security goes haywire, rival corporations move in to claim territory, and crime syndicates exploit the power vacuum. Combat mixes twin-stick shooting with RPG progression—augmentations, weapons, and gear upgrades shape your build. The arcology stretches vertically through distinct districts, each filled with alien species and corporate infrastructure. You'll fight gangs, hostile mercs, and rogue machines while uncovering what caused the collapse. Supports solo play or co-op. The cyberpunk setting leans hard into neon-soaked verticality and corporate dystopia, where you've been company property until the day everything breaks down.
