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 · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 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.

Reviews
The Ascent is a nice-looking and quite fun game, at least for the most part, but unfortunately it also has some annoying issues. Neon Giant apparently isn't aware that running technology exists, so there is a lot of walking. The story is mid, the gearing system is not really fleshed out, and there are some weird difficulty spikes from time to time. If you enjoy twin-stick shooters, you will have fun, but do not expect a polished experience.
Amazing game with friends! The visual are awesome

Хорошая, но мало.
Its a good Cyberpunk themed ARPG. Yes there are a few bugs, theres a LOT of walking and the map is useless. But overall a good buy.
Карта зделана по уебски не поставить метку не посмотреть опасные хэзоны многие враги однообразны я бы зотел увидеть больше крутых роботов а так боевка норм визиул имба
yes.
Znakomita gra aRPG w klimacie Cyberpunk. Ładna oprawa graficzna i kolory, dodatkowo widok w rzucie izometrycznym, czyli coś co osobiście preferuje w grach. Trybu kooperacji jeszcze nie testowałem, ale na pewno podbija zabawę. Ogólnie polecam.
fun
The visuals and gameplay were mostly engaging, though some difficult spikes made it uneven and some map locations weren't clear. Overall, I recommend The Ascent!
Неожиданно классная игруля в духе киберпанка но без Джонни и шл*х) Вид сверху, не мешало бы ввести функцию поворота камеры, в некоторые моменты уж очень этого не хватает. Очень обширные и наполненные локации, красивые и стильные! Кучи народу разношерстного, усатого, рогатого в хроме и без, с тремя четырьмя глазами или вовсе без. Физика и разрушаемые объекты в наличии. Везде яркие неоновые вывески, роботы и обширные завораживающие виды с верхних ярусов на округу. Очень жаль что на Steam Deck игруля играется паршиво из за прицеливания, даже с выкрученной помощью в прицеливании на максимум - играется не удобно. Но вот на компе, самое оно. Прокачка оружия разного вида, пулеметы, пистолеты, снайперки, ракетницы, разных видов урона. Перки умения прокачка персонажа. В общем игруля огонь, всем советую в нее поиграть, кайфануть.
