The Ascent

Review Of The Ascent – Veles Villains Are Thirsty For Blood

Ever Since Humans Set Foot On The Planet, The Way They Treat The Environment Has Caused A Variety Of Things To Happen. 

The Ascent, The factors that have been involved in the realization of these events throughout humanity have sometimes been ambition, compassion, evil, and so on. So what I learned from this is that the affairs of this planet were, from the beginning, governed by the personal desires of powerful human beings.

Everything was vague to me when I entered this world. I do not know why human beings have created so much tension in worldly affairs?

And I do not know where they want to go?

But I know one thing, and I’m sure of it, and that is nothing but your invitation to play The Ascent and visit the cyberpunk world of Veles.

The Ascent is the brainchild of Neon Giant Studios. This Swedish studio has tried very hard to attract these styles by presenting a title that combines several styles (role-playing, action, shooter).

When you enter the game, a red theme appears in the menu, which can signify the creators because most of the color scheme used in this game environment is red.

Apart from these things, after entering the game environment, you have to build your character.

In this section, you can determine your personality in terms of gender, skin color, height, and eye condition

… Of course, concerning this part, we must say that this part has no details, and you can only change all the features of your personality in a limited way.

After completing the character building, you enter the game, and this is where you realize that you are zero in terms of weapons and equipment. The other news is that the creators want to bother you, and that is that from the beginning of the game, you will face strong enemies and ignorant of God who can easily defeat you.

So far as you are involved with the enemies, there is no story. The game’s story appears when you are involved with many enemies, and to continue the story, and you have to go to a city with modern architecture and cyberpunk.

Get used to the death page because you will see it a lot in this game

The game’s story is that an armed group intends to conquer the city using advanced technology and thus achieve its goals. The world of Veles, where the game’s story takes place, is full of gangs and utilitarians who think of nothing but power.

 These profit-seeking elements exploit the weak sections of the city to achieve their own desires and aspirations.

After the comic and the arc and for unknown reasons, the Ascent group is destroyed, and your character enters the arena to restore order to end the problems.

The story of the game is acceptable for a title with this style and context, but the type of storytelling is such that it is as if a stranger is telling you a story so that you can not communicate with it at all. In addition to the main story, there are many side missions that you can complete and enjoy.

The characters you interact with are designed to be so ugly that if the creators had made it possible, I would not have survived for a moment.

In general, even though I finished the game, I could not cope with its story and characters.

Of course, you can destroy enemies with your friends in multiplayer and advance the game, but as I saw, the single-player section is more enjoyable than the multiplayer section.

In The Ascent, the creators have prepared an action title with an isometric camera angle, providing high quality. However, the game also has some annoying drawbacks.

One of the weaknesses is that the game initially puts you in front of a flood of powerful enemies, which discouraged me from playing.

The second weakness of the game is its educational part; The creators in this section have acted like a teacher who does not have the patience to teach at all so that you have to learn everything by trial and error.

 The last weakness is the movements of the characters under your control.

The creators have designed the movements in such a way that you will not get bored. Of course, know that your enemies move very fast in return, and if you are not careful, they can defeat you in a fraction of a second.

In addition to the weaknesses, some strengths make the gaming experience enjoyable for you. One of my strengths was my character swinging during the game, which motivated me to pursue more side missions to destroy more enemies.

By leveling up your character, you can upgrade abilities such as endurance, health, aiming, and speed-up to make it easier for you to defeat your enemies.

The weapons you can use in the game are the size of an AA game, but you will not feel short of it.

Weapons like shotguns, shotguns, grenade launchers, and more can help you deal with all kinds of enemies. The game gives you two choices: the main stages (green mark) and the sub-stages (yellow mark).

To complete the steps, you must go to the colored symbols marked on the map and receive your mission from the person there.

Missions often lead to clashes with powerful bosses, and if you do not pay attention, you will be the boss’s guest for a few days. During the game, you can explore the environment, items such as ammunition, life, or new weapons, which of course, can be found in abundance.

My suggestion to fight the enemies is that you run away if you are not strong enough. Anyway, this is one of the ways to advance the steps!

In terms of graphics and visual design, the makers have honestly put the finishing touches.

The combination of night and neon lights and strangely designed buildings reminded me of Cyberpunk 2077. Everywhere you look in the game, you see signs of detail in the game. Walking among strange creatures in the middle of the night gives you the news of the apocalyptic yakuza.

The texture of the environment is cartoonish in some parts and realistic in others, which of course, is not very annoying. In one of the stages, I encountered a strong bass, and I defeated it with difficulty.

After defeating, the sky started to rain, and the view became more beautiful and inspiring.

Although the experience has shown that a game that uses an isometric camera does not perform well in graphics, The Ascent proves the opposite with its unique details.

The music and sound of the game are undoubtedly reminiscent of Cyberpunk 2077.

The song’s rhythm becomes instantaneous and exciting when you engage with enemies, just like a cyberpunk song. But this only happened in times of conflict, and when you play the game without conflict, the sound of rain and quiet music begins to play. The voices of the characters are perfectly combined with their ugly faces, which we can understand.

Regarding the sound of weapons, it must say that you are so involved in the stress of fighting enemies that you do not even notice the sound of your weapon.

The Ascent game has the ability and capacity to be fun or even memorable for gamers.

Even the world of Veles is true that it is newly created and watery, but it has the capacity to be remembered. It goes without saying that one should regret the limitations of the production team and the problems of the game itself, which was a major obstacle to the success of this game.

But it must also say that financial problems have caused pure ideas to become unbearable titles, and for this reason, the creators should praise. Because despite the problems, they were able to deliver a good title to the audience.

In short:

Given the easy accessibility of the game for game service subscribers, we suggest that if you have just finished Cyberpunk 2077 and are still in the atmosphere, it is a good opportunity to experience The Ascent.

Buy:

If you love killing and slaughtering ugly creatures combined with its own challenges, The Ascent can be a good choice.

Don’t buy it:

If you expect The Ascent to tell a deep story like the big role-playing games like Cyberpunk, check out this game.
