Death: The Ascension

A ton of style. Interesting card-based and resource management game. The the developer clearly wants to try new things but did not cut any corners along the way - hand-drawn art, music, game design right up front. Expressive work, really really nice

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game! Way too hard. The chances are pretty much stacked against you... and if you slip in a hole once you constantly get punished for it. Sad because the concept is interesting.

A horrible experience. Avoid at all costs. The game is full of confusion, and neither the tutorial or the video on YouTube give you a real clue what to do. I found a few things out my guessing, bur example at one point it said I had to click the blue skull to advance, and there wasn't one, only a red one, and clicking on that did nothing. Turning out that despite the instructions, I had to scroll up to see new options, (no skills) to click on. Even on the easiest of settings it is brutally hard. You died if you have a shortage of one of the vital resources, but only sometimes as I have gone turns with negative cash and not died, sometimes. The last game I played I died three times in five cards, with no chance or opportunity that I could find or understand to even try to get the resource I needed! And this was on the easiest setting. The random factor seems way out of wack as well. You can change the odds with the use of the red (negative?) gem and earn a soul or souls, or the green (positive?) gem at the cost of a soul or souls. More often than not though, I pick the red gem, and the chance of a good outcome goes up? Bizarre. And while unexpected outcomes are always possible whe…

Lovely Art and User Interface No Performance Issues

Good alternative to all the card battler games out there. Instead of PvP or player vs AI, you're fighting entroy (Death) gradually wearing you away every round. You play cards to try and stay alive so you can ascend the ladder, which then gives you more choices to make with regards to your resources. A really interesting game and a great deal (especially if you find it on sale)

Pretty fun game. Not as hard as some other reviews make it out to be, it does require a decent dose of luck, though. There are some typos, which is less ideal. But nice game overall.
