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
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.

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....

This game is fun, the weapon loadouts and armor buildouts arent quite clear sometimes though. Eventually you'll hit a wall and will need to take a long break for it to enjoy it. If you liked the old shadowrun game on snes or that type of game youll like this too.
its ok, would be nice if the game doesn't freeze and crash when I enter a new area
gameplay wise i like it, it reminds me a lot of satelite reign and i love that game, but graphics take a biiiiiig toll on the pc, at least mine, even on the lowest graphic settings which looks like a blob basicly. i would give the game a 7 outa 10, it's good, very good gameply wise but it's hard to enjoy for long if my pc heats up my entire room in 1 hour.
может быть игра и прикольная, но боже, что за управление стрельбы? это ж максимально не удобно
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.
Awesome game. *Plenty of hours of play *Great graphics *Good Sound *Good Story *Good controls
Langweilige Ballerbude mit schönem Artdesign und schlechter Grafik PRO - Setting ist schön und abwechslungsreich - Tolles Cyberpunk Artdesign CONTRA - langweiliges eintöniges Kampfsystem - hinter schöner Cyberpunk Welt verbirgt sich schlechte Grafik - motiviert nicht mehr zu entdecken 60,98%/100%
The Ascent is one of the most underrated cyberpunk action RPGs I've played.
Ууу киберпанковое. Хорошая визуальная пострелушка ,очень радует проработанность окружения. А какая музыка мммм,каеф.
