About Kurukshetra: Ascension


Welcome to the vibrant world of "Kurukshetra: Ascension" a captivating strategy card game inspired by the Mahabharata and Ramayana, developed by Studio Sirah. Immerse yourself in intense battles and lore by donning the avatars of legendary heroes of the past, now reborn in Kalyug, the Age of Darkness.
EXPERIENCE A WORLD INSPIRED BY INDIAN EPICS

Use powerful melee, ranged units, and a litany of spells, weapons, and effects to unleash chaos on the battlefield. With an ever-expanding roster of heroes wielding unique abilities and over two hundred playable cards, varied playstyles and creative deck building is encouraged. Make or break the meta as uniquely themed seasons bring brand new cards and balance updates every two months.

ASCEND MOUNT MERU IN A CHALLENGING ROGUE-LITE

Explore a deeply rooted universe in our PVE story campaign with unique factions, creatures, and forces that transcend time and borders. Relive epic events from aeons ago, while tactically utilizing your cards to outwit Demons, Warriors and Cosmic Beasts. Climb the mythical Mount Meru, explore realms and make choices that weave through and influence a rich tapestry of Indian mythology, all with beautifully illustrated cards depicting these iconic characters and powerful abilities.

DOMINATE THE RANKS AND STRATEGIZE WITH NIGHT MODE

Test your competitive mettle and climb the leaderboard by pitching yourself in battle against other warriors. Master Melee and Ranged Rows. Seize Free Kills opportunities to maximise your presence on the battlefield. Kurukshetra: Ascension's PvP also draws inspiration from the wars of old, where nightfall provides players with the unique opportunity to strategize under the cover of darkness and change the rhythm of turn-based combat.

Our unique mechanic has both players engage simultaneously after a set number of rounds. So, you and your opponent must not only counter each other's moves but also exploit the advantage of newly introduced cards specifically designed for the "night" phase. The cards add buffs to fortify strategies, bring new units to the board and amplify the fun!

EARLY ACCESS AND THE FUTURE

We're an indie Indian studio with big ambitions. We want to bring Indian content to games and to a global audience in rich, unique ways. Kurukshetra: Ascension is the beginning of that journey. While the game is still in Early Access, we have already released multiple updates with new realms as chapters to the primary Ascension campaign. We have also released two seasonal content updates - Tribes Of Kishkindha and Echoes of the Beast, with more content on the way. We would love your feedback on the current version as we work to make it even better!

You will be prompted to and expected to give money to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.[/quote] "Kurukshetra: Ascension" is one of thousands of nasty mobile apps infesting the "free" section of Steam, but it's not really free. So this is, at face value, just Hearthstone but with an Indian mythology theme stapled onto it weakly. But really it's obvious this is just a mobile app cash shop hustle. There's only a superficial game here. The game visuals and the game itself are incredibly shallow... think of them as the too-bright, colourful, thin plastic cabinet dress theme on a poker machine at the casino. That's basically what this is. So really, the mobile app "game" is just a veneer, a thin skin wrapped around a nasty, predatory mobile app cash …

Don't get me wrong, I want to enjoy your game and for that I need to purchase all the maps which when I try, it just doesn't let me. This is really annoying as I was hooked up to your game and just wanted to play more and more. I have never been this disappointed.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.
