About Wretch: Divine Ascent
Wretch: Divine Ascent is a 1v1 tactical auto battler game in a dark medieval style that was inspired by Backpack Battles and developed with Unreal Engine. Mix and match items in your backpack to create powerful combos. Purchase a variety of helpful items such as equipment, accessories, and moves from the shop, and fuse them to obtain special items that cannot be bought. Be careful—some moves can counter each other! Getting the right combination of moves and equipment will be your key to victory.The new version introduces the all-new character "Murmillo", who wields a short blade and a shield, crushing opponents with agility using two combat stances.You dive into backpack management right from the first match. Purchase moves, items, and equipment from the shop and formulate your best strategy. Your items can be combined to give powerful effects, and you can even fuse items to gain unique creations that no shop can provide off the rack. Choose your combinations carefully to give yourself the sharpest edge in your battles!In the game, multiple characters are available for you to choose from: Knight, Plague Doctor, Ronin, Wujiang, and the latest to ascend the Long Stairs—Pirate.The characters have distinct features and cool styles that are further emphasized in the strategies and moves employed in battle. Use your backpack items to give your attacks unique buffs such as critical hits, speed boosts, and block enhancements. Connecting moves well will be crucial for victory—avoid moves that might counter each other, and build combos to allow you to quickly launch follow-up attacks after breaking through your opponent's guard.You undergo up to 10 battles per game, each against real players. Slash and slice your opponents in a bloody 1v1 fight to the finish. Players can battle at any time with no need to wait for an opponent to be online. After you win 10 battles in a game, you gain the chance to challenge the best players on the global leaderboard. The current demo version includes a 10-Win Honor leaderboard, where you can keep an eye on the enemy and make plans to rise to the top in Divine Ascent. Stay sharp—they're watching too.

No tutorial when game loads No explanation anywhere other than a chinese youtube video linked from the discord, not even ingame Translation errors that mean only the chinese players know what they're actually doing Dead playerbase Refunded3 found this helpful
No tutorial, pretty bad translation and complex item interactions make this game nigh unplayable for newcomers1 found this helpful
The translations are really crappy, which is unforgivable in a game that basically requires you to understand how every item works and the synergies. There's also a fun-factor lost when complex build with combos, energy management, and defense somehow loses to a build with two basic attacks. The narrator/voiceover guys spews random nonsense constantly, and something just feels off. And because most matches are just the characters spamming 1-2 attacks, actually watching the fight is really boring too. It results in you kind sitting there and hopping your character activates and then hoping the other character sits idly and takes your punishment rather than blocking or parrying you. I also feel like I'm playing against bots or everyone is building kinda same, 2-skill builds with little or no armor or defense. Maybe that's the meta... idk just doesn't feel right.1 found this helpful
I really like this game, it is a little bit rough around the edges, but once you get into how the game mechanics work it's a really enjoyable game play loop, with lots of variety in the winning builds you can construct.
Awesome game! Can't wait for more characters and items! I hope they add a private battle mode, so you can battle your friends.
Goated, Absolute banger. Im lookin forward to more updates, more items, more characters, more moves. love this game.
