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 2,419 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.

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?

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.

Too difficult even on Easy. It suffers from traversal stutters. It crashes randomly every 3 hours or so. Some missions bug out and you have to jump through hoops to play them. It needed a few more patches and better balancing. Not terrible, but not recommended.
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.

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.
love everything about the game. sad to say its not stable enough to play atm
Enjoying the game but it crashes. should of been fixed at this point but i bought it on sale even after reading the complaints people had. buy at your own risk. hope itll work eventually.
게임상에 보이는 크로스헤어랑 실제 총알이 날아가는 경로가 달라서 암 걸릴 것 같음. 차라리 에일리언 슈터나 다시 하는 게 나을 듯....
Awesome game. *Plenty of hours of play *Great graphics *Good Sound *Good Story *Good controls
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. I do enjoy the game for the densely populated world and art style, unfortunately the negative posts regarding performance are accurate. The game has not crashed for me yet, however the frequent stuttering in combat is annoying and breaks the flow. This can be a deal breaker for some.
除了优化不是太好容易死机黑屏之外，其他各方面都是非常棒的。
Coudn't follow the main quest because THE MAP ENDED
