About Ascension: Transition and Silver

A Hostile World


Ascension: Transition and Silver is a LGBT+ visual novel following three lost souls as they venture into The Zone - a dangerous and alien area, fenced off by the rest of the world - and at its center is rumoured to be something that can grant any wish, any innermost desire.

But, at a price.

There's no turning back. Once you leave your old life behind to go chasing dreams, you can never return.

Two desperate people and their sardonic guide venture into The Zone, but what they find there will forever, permanently change them - and, just maybe, change the world.

This game is about being broken and queer and gender-damaged in a world that will never accept you - but still holding out hope for one last chance to fix everything.

I admit I didnt fully get this one my first time through. It just felt a bit like a massochist's romance- but emptier??? It wasnt till I decided to give it another shot that I got a route that made it a lot more clear what I was actually looking at. [spoiler] Ship of Theseus but trans. Exploring the many questions you might experience as a trans person without outright saying it. [/spoiler] Some scenes were certainly stronger than others, but upon trying them all I can say I liked what they did here. Happy Pride, happy Stonewall Anniversary, and may we all be safer to take whatever shape we please than our forefathers.

You get what you expect from a visual novel, it's like reading a free book. Have a flip through.

Aye, right. Full disclosure, I am trans. To some degree I get what Ascension was going for. It is certainly not inconspicuous when it comes to its general theming. I just don't really get what everything else was. I don't get the Zone. I don't get the red storms. I don't get what significance silver has. I don't get what psychosilver is. In particular, I don't get what all of this has to do in communicating the presented themes. The story becomes a very, very windy road that ends up in a place that you more or less kind of expected it to go, which is dissatisfying. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the writer for this game writes a lot of poetry. Many lines have very creative and beautiful ways of communicating the story. This writing style doesn't really lend itself to writing prose though, especially in a visual novel where lines arrive one at a time, so if one stands out it REALLY stands out. I was instantly sucked out of the world of the novel after lines like "The heady swell of endogenous opiate" and "It still had all its Pathos, before the Hierarchy had learned how to ♥♥♥♥ it" reminded me that I'm reading words, with these meaning absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nothing to me. Like I sa…

Игра 'Ascension: Transition and Silver' - это отличное расширение для базовой колодостроительной игры Ascension. Добавляет интересные механики, в частности возможность "переходить" между фракциями, используя карты с двойным типом. "Серебро" же вводит новую валюту, которую можно использовать для приобретения карт, предлагая альтернативный путь к победе. Расширение делает игру более вариативной и стратегической. Появляется больше возможностей для комбо и синергии между картами разных фракций. Необходимо тщательно планировать ходы, учитывая новые ресурсы и возможности. Бои становятся более непредсказуемыми, а победа требует адаптации к тактике противников. Если вам нравится базовая версия Ascension и хочется чего-то нового, то 'Transition and Silver' – отличный выбор. Оно усложняет игровой процесс, добавляет глубины и реиграбельности. Новичкам, возможно, стоит сначала освоить базовую игру, а потом уже приступать к расширению. В целом, рекомендуется к покупке для всех поклонников жанра колодостроительных игр.
