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.
Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
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.

Reviews
чётко чувствуется дух Уильяма Гиббсона, хоть и не в том проявлении, в котором хотелось бы, да и немного заёбистый геймплей (ближе к концовке даёт о себе знать), но стиль и мир с лихвой это покрывают
World design is beautiful and combat requires certain strategy.

It's a crying shame such a brilliant game like this runs so terribly regardless of settings. The stuttering just straight up ruins the entire game and since its never been addressed, I'd just give it a miss.

Boring, pass on this one
Fun
Game good :)
Games like this are where I really wish Steam either had a rating system or a -- (middle) option. The Ascent is beautiful, the gunplay is pretty snappy and satisfying and the story is enough to pass as fine. The bad however almost got me to stop without even finishing. - Bugs and crashes galore. If you try to use the taxi right as you load into an area, the game crashes. In general, the game crashes very regularly. -Annoying and bland enemy types. The enemies are very basic for an aRPG, but when they decide to spice things up and throw something new your way, it's almost always more miserable than fun. Sniper turrets that can chunk you from a mile away while spamming an annoying sound and distracting UI indicator, hacker enemies that are completely invincible and make allies invincible while dealing damage to you and removing your ability to dodge unless you get close enough to hack them back. Robot tanks that only take energy damage otherwise you're shooting them for hours. -Last but not least, the game doesn't respect your time. So many quests are just backtracking. You have a paid taxi you can use to navigate around, but it's limited by sector and entire sections are long and lock you out of using it. The end of the game in particular is a no-go zone so you might get trapped fighting the final boss with mid-range gear if you aren't vigilant It's a cool game, but it has some major flaws and gets tedious rather quickly. If you enjoy aRPGs and the cyberpunk setting, it's worth your time, just temper your expectations and grab it on sale.
