Cosmic Ascension

[b]I like Cosmic Ascension. I recorded some of my progress, complete with relevant commentary as I play it. Please take a look if you like a more Audio / Visual Experience. 👍 [/b] https://youtu.be/gIBHEUeMtSU [h1]Get all the TP, & Unlock Obscene Power![/h1] 💪 Cosmic Ascension is an Indie, Sci-Fi Action Roguelike offering 2D Space, Arcade Action in the great hunt for TP! Get all the TP, & Unlock Obscene Power! You think I’m kidding? The main Meta Currency is TP (Tech Points). Meta Progression is present in the form of this sweet TP, which you score from enemy kills, and which you use between runs to boost the power of your ships systems. You can also mine TP, blasting it out of dirty space hulks, asteroids, and space debris, acquiring used TP to be repurposed onto your sweet space ride. Mining used TP; the future is just so bleak! But TP is powerful, well worth getting your hands dirty, and reaping the rewards! Increased weapon damage, crit chance, crit damage, armor, useful stuff like that, all used to help ensure a clear sweep through your foul foes! All the other space captains will be so jealous of your tidy and near peerless weapon ports! There are also upgrade modul…

And one thing is for sure: Play the tutorial first to get to know your way around before starting the adventure because it's going to be awesome =) I really didn't think that the game would be that captivating, but I was wrong! You can upgrade your ship, trade 'items,' get different ships, and warp your way around to clear the 'level.' On each stage, you receive upgrades from which you have to choose wisely since it will define whether you pass your next stage or not. - Just don't stay in the minefield when fighting the end boss! You can always warp back (which takes time... which also means you can't warp back if there are enemies, or you'll die:)) It's really more like FTL goes ship hunting and collecting resources. Great game, great replayability since it's a grinding game if you want to beat each Warp level. Thumbs Up!

A young Warren Buffet suggested this game to me and I wanted to try it out. It's insanely good, like starship Synthetik. The starships are all support different playstyles. I'm a big fan of the aircraft carrier that lets me summon starfighters because I can't aim for ♥♥♥♥ but they do all of the hard work for me.

Fun gameplay, interesting meta progression. The runs themselves don't vary a whole lot, as there aren't many individual strategies with high synergy, so most run-based upgrades just come down to what's the most powerful. Still, quite worth a few dollars and hope to see more games like this or more expanded content.

There are a lot of space shooter games out there, and this one is a lot of fun. It's not especially challenging, which is sort of a good thing, as there are a lot of games in this genre that fall into the category of "gets harder and harder until it feels unfair and you die." This one has a winnable campaign instead. Cosmic Ascension is a bit more casual, but still requires some concentration to win. I've only won with the base ship thus far though, so I don't know everything about it. I've only won with the base ship as of this writing, but there's clearly some replay value in the other ship types and other upgrade strategies, so I think this is well worth the price. For some reason it doesn't work properly with my controller, and nothing but the joystick works which is my main criticism, but I found that the classic RPG controls and mouse works best for me anyway. Also, I found some of the weapons are notably better than others, so there is an element of luck in getting access to the right upgrades. This isn't necessarily bad, but it does feel a bit random at times.
