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.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
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

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 belong to the corporation. Can you survive without it?

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.

I wanted to give the game a chance because it looks pretty fun and interesting. However, it just feels boring and uninspired? I feel like I'm a regular human living in the 40k universe. Like it's so apocalyptic and dirty that it kinda turns me away. Not to mention the camera cannot be adjusted at all so I feel like I gotta sit 40 feet away from my monitor because I'm so zoomed in, and sometimes the camera auto zooms on specific things the game thinks you should look at and I have to move in a direction i literally cannot see because I cant move the camera myself. It as a whole feels clunky. However it was kinda interesting for the gameplay I did get out of it, but I cant see myself ever returning to the game because the clunky camera and aggressive cyberpunk apocalypse setting.

На сьогоднішній день це найкращий нащадок Alien Shooter та ізометричних шутерів ще й присутній кооп
I feel like this could be a great game, the setting and graphics are pretty good however it gets pretty repetitive. No diversity of weapons/skills at the start of the game. Tried to played co-op and solo and it didn't click for anyone.
Ууу киберпанковое. Хорошая визуальная пострелушка ,очень радует проработанность окружения. А какая музыка мммм,каеф.
May take a while to get used to the controls. But once you learn it gives for intense and satisfying game play. The artwork is wonderful, the camera angles are cinematic, and exploring is fun as you shoot your way through this dystopian world.
интересная динамичная драйвовая)
it's a fun game of pew pew. the loot is kinda not so great. esp managing it. but it's a fun grindy game that makes you want to pick up more in the ARPG genre that's not so fantasy driven.
I like the setting and combat, but the fixed camera can be brutal at times. Usually when I die it's because there's some guy shooting me from off-screen and I can't hit them back. I wish we could rotate the camera or adjust the field of view. EDIT: Changed to Not Recommend because of the spiderbot boss. Absolute brick wall of an encounter that was 0 fun to play against. Even with max fire resistance and dropping the difficulty to Easy, I was being melted in SECONDS. There was no way to avoid the boss, mitigate its massive AoE, or kite it.
Ich wollte the Ascent wirklich mögen. Aber am Ender hat es mich leider doch gelangweilt. Wie bereits andere Rezensenten vor mir, empfinde ich das Spiel auch als zu profan. Aber gehen wir mal ins Detail: Das Spiel hat eine Hammer Grafik und Atmosphäre -> Allerdings ist die Interaktionsmöglichkeit mit dieser seeehr beschränkt, es ist einfach abgefahren wie viel Aufwand der Entwickler in "Beiwerk" reingesteckt hat. Es ist nicht so als müsste man die "Karte erkunden" nein alles ist schon da, man hat bereits jede Kiste auf der Karte markiert. Es gibt gar keinen Grund oder Mehrwert diese Welt zu erkunden, es gibt keine Überraschungen für diejenigen die sich die Arbeit machen in jeden Winkel zu rennen, weil man da vielleicht ein tolles Item o.ä. entdecken könnte. Das gesamte Warenwirtschaftssystem ist für den Ars**, es gibt keinerlei Progression in den Shops, Rüstung/Waffen usw. sind und da bin ich mir gerade nicht mehr ganz sicher, entweder von vorne rein kaufbar, oder aber sobald man die Rüstung/Waffe in der Welt entdeckt hat ab diesem Moment kaufbar. Es gibt nicht wofür es sich lohnt Geld auszugeben, Upgrades an Waffen (und das ist das einzige was man upgraden kann) werden mit Komponenten, eingeteilt in 3 Güteklassen, aufgewertet. Ich kann weder spezielle Waffen noch Rüstungen o.ä. im Shop kaufen, die ich vielleicht erst im Lategame mit viel Geld erwerben kann. Das nimmt bereits so viel aus der Progression raus, dass es mir echt schwer fällt das Spiel zu ende zu spielen. Die Story war ok, aber meines Erachtens viel zu sehr Beiwerk, es wirkt fast so als wäre alles nur "Requisite". Wohlwollende 6/10 Sterne. Warum vote ich das Spiel trotzdem positiv? Weil es am Ende einfach verdammt bemerkenswert ist, wie viel Aufwand in die Welt gesteckt wurde und das möchte ich honorieren. So so Schade, dass nicht mehr damit interagiert werden kann....
Awesome game. *Plenty of hours of play *Great graphics *Good Sound *Good Story *Good controls
