Ascendants Rising

Another abandoned Early Access game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZhewq-OPl0

If you're considering getting this game because it looks good on the screenshots, don't. Created a character, 'Do you want to play the basic tutorial?' clicked Yes, loading screen, 'Do you want to play the basic tutorial?' comes up again. Clicked Yes, loading screen, back to the pop-up. Clicked No, got 'Do you want to play the advanced tutorial?'. Sure, maybe that will work? Nope, same thing. Guess i'm not playing through the tutorial, i'll jump straight into the game. Clicked Play as instructed, went with the single player option and once again got taken into a loading screen and loaded back into the starting area. After it did it again i went with the other option of a 'test your abilities' area but same thing happened. None of the Play modes loaded properly, this game is effectively one starting area room that you cannot do anything in. Somehow managed to tank my GPU though 🤔

DO NOT BUY!!! Ascendants Rising (a hilarious title) is just awful in this state. It's in EA, which is fine, but this game seems as though it is barely even in beta. It is bland, unattractive, and way out of its league. There are so many solid free-to-play games or games that you can get for less that $20 that are complete experiences that there really isn't any reason to pay this asking price, especially considering this is barely in a playable state at all. Allow me to go through the things I came across after a few minutes of playing this dreadful mess: - Graphics and animation that would have been sub-par in 2010 - Bad gameplay that just amounts to trading blows with enemies that move the same speed as you - Ugly character designs with only one hair option (female) that doesn't have the side of the head or whole head shaved and also stealing that overdone Fortnite character style - Lame, repetitive music that sounds like it was pulled from a royalty free site - Dull combat that just consists of spamming the same attack while you wait for your special skills to cool down - An empty HUB with no interaction at all, no NPCs I could find, and the only function being to open a me…

Unplayable in this state and maybe never. Released too early, seems like it would take years to finish

truly trash!

Extremely buggy. Crashes frequently. The last update was on August 6th, 2021. Though there was a time when this game showed some promise, it has ever since been abandoned by the developers. Really not worth your money.
