Ascendancy price

Ascendancy is free to play — there is no purchase price, on Steam or anywhere else we track. We keep watching it, so if it ever stops being free the price history on this page will show when that happened and what it changed to.

About Ascendancy

Watch a hundred AI-controlled characters, each with randomized stats, drop into a chaotic, obstacle-filled arena in an intense simulation. Scavenge weapons, armor, and loot scattered across the map while observing thrilling battles unfold in real time. Players can choose to control any AI character they find most promising and try to survive until only one remains.

Features:

Dynamic AI battles with 100 characters, each behaving differently based on stats and equipment

Procedurally generated loot scattered throughout the arena

Multiple obstacles and environmental hazards to navigate strategically

Full player control of a chosen AI character, allowing skillful play to influence the outcome

High replayability: each match offers unique scenarios, outcomes, and strategies

Spectator-style simulation mode to watch the AI fight it out

A friend of mine said that if I post a review on Ascendancy and it hits 20 likes and 20 awards, he’s my personal pizza sponsor for the rest of this year. I’m counting on you guys.

Shovel-ware, you walk as pill colliders and bump into other pills. Trash.

Don't bother. The previews are more exciting than the game. There's no music. There's no settings menu. Space just pauses and the only option is to change look-around sensitivity. You can't pick up anything. Bumping into other "pills" does nothing, but if they bump into each other, there's actual damage exchanged. It's a slog to get anywhere because you can only walk. It seems like the dev released it and then just bounced. Free is too much to pay for this game.

Sekiro cheap: what our price record shows, and what to avoid
