About Ascent of Ashes

Build your survivors a base where they can rest and trade stories between adventures. Farm crops, tame alien beasts, incorporate salvaged technology and fortify your home against hostile intruders
Prevailing in combat will require more than just point-and-click. A detailed hit simulation and health system will mean that even non-lethal hits can render a survivor unable to go on. Suppressive fire might pin an enemy in place, but the ammunition used up may leave you ill-equipped to fight the next encounter effectively It's a big world out there. To get around you will need better transportation than your legs can provide. One of the things setting Ascent of Ashes apart from other games of this genre is the ability to restore and drive vehicles.
Each survivor has their own unique personality and motivations. As colony leader it is up to you to find and recruit capable survivors to fill gaps in your roster against ever increasing challenges. Can you keep everyone happy, secure and motivated? You will find yourself in an expansive, procedurally generated world filled with different biomes and points of interest. To survive the post-apocalypse you'll have to brave the pre-collapse ruins and the many dangers that they hold. It's not enough to just have an in-depth combat system with a variety of mechanics. You also need opponents capable of using those mechanics to challenge you. Enemies will possess varying degrees of intelligence. Taking on a disorganized band of raiders will play very differently from fighting a squad of well-trained Remnant soldiers. Combining the deep simulation of classic post-apocalyptical survival titles with the tactical challenge of classic real time and turn-based gems, the original creators of RimWorld's heralded Combat Extended mod present a fresh take on the colony sim genre that emphasizes exploration, tight balance and strategic gameplay.
Our team has its roots in mod-making and we've been fortunate to have been part of many great modding communities over the years. That's why with Ascent of Ashes, we want to give something back to those communities. We're building the game's engine from the ground up to be easily extendable, and thanks to our extensive experience in creating mods ourselves we know exactly what kind of support mod-makers need. Ascent of Ashes is a game developed by modders, for modders.

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the core gameplay loop and building mechanics, comparing it favorably to Rimworld in a 3D setting with solid combat and genuine potential for a great game. However, concerns center on the game's early access state with limited features, minimal updates over several months, some lingering technical issues, and uncertainty about whether the developer will continue active development to realize that potential.

Barebones bordering on Abandonware.

I think this games shows a lot of potential. The graphics are really cool, I really love the style of the game. I ran into a few bugs but not really show stoppers, I usually just had to save and reload to resolve them. The UI could use some work, I wish there was an easy way to switch between characters without having to search all over the map for them. I sort of hit a roadblock in content fairly quickly due to the long durations between visitors providing new areas for expeditions, I just got bored waiting. In addition, I was never able to find any components so I couldn't build any of the more advanced crafting stations that I learned from research, even after completing all of the available research. Regardless, I really hope they keep developing this game because I think it could be really great in the end!!

facing a issue where no matter how prepped my guys are, I need metal and the only way is to do a expidion, the problem is the raiders are way too strong and evne if I send ALL my guys they just slaughter all my pawns. at its current state its just boring sitting at base, or your getting killed no inbetween

I like what they wanted to do with this one. A more fluid combat version of Rimworld. Sadly it will never be anything similar to Rimworld. Moreover since it seems there is only one guy left doing this on his sparetime then i suspect there will simply never be a game. Give money if you like to support the small taking the fight to the big guys but dont expect a full game anytime soon. Maybe 5 years from now. Maybe. But for now this game is fraudulent. It talks about a waste world. There is none. Crafting etc. There is none. You can build in wood and stone from the beginning but you cant even get the next material after that. You can research a bench for working in steel but you cant find steel. Its a game thats supposed to take you just beyond the refund marker. No more.

I really see the potential in this game. It reminds me a lot of RimWorld in its early days. The game definitely has some rough edges right now, but as long as the development team continues working on it, adding new items, features, quality-of-life improvements, and polishing the overall experience, I honestly believe it could become just as popular as RimWorld. To the development team: keep up the great work and keep improving the game, especially the UI and quality-of-life features. You’re onto something really special here, and I’m excited to see where the game goes! P.S THIS is a beta so have expectations to it beta title ROUGH edges.
