    Great game, no issues here. Was able to grind out over 200K souls, just read the wiki and watch a few youtube vids. Game is still in Open BETA, so there are a couple bugs. But not bad at all for a game in BETA.

    Just look at these things that game this game a score of 10. No one can be that stupid. The game is a joke. PAY TO WIN!. Sad thing is that so many people lie about it. just look at all the positive scores. No one of them actually likes this game. But money talks. Worst game ever. Total, and i mean total waste of time. They should pay people to play this "game". it is not a game at all, itJust look at these things that game this game a score of 10. No one can be that stupid. The game is a joke. PAY TO WIN!.

    Super fun game for a BETA. Combat is fast and lots of cool items and gear to collect. been playing about 10 hours now. not sure why some people say it's pay to win. The game is Free to Play, if you don't like spending money money than don't. I personally found it easy in the later levels to get currency just by playing the game.

    overall the game is fun, devs are super responsive in the    Super fun game for a BETA.

    Worst. Game. Ever. Zero isn't a low enough score!
    You are underpowered unless you spend hundreds of dollars on microtransactions

    Been playing the heck out of this game all weekend. it's really fun, especially, no issues with having to pay to play, but I did by a 3 buck soul pack. The devs are patching the game all the time to fix issues and they actualyl just did a patch that reduced the cost of the so called pay to win features. Which benefited me of course.

    Either way, it's free, the game is BETA which means it is not done, and the devs are patching it. So that's good in my book.    … Expand

    And so I see the whiners complaining about paying. Now you see why free-to-play is a misnomer. NOTHING is free. You can't expect a company to develop a game and never get a dime for their trouble. And yet, that's exactly what you whiners seem to expect. This age of entitlement just shows how stupid people have become. You scream for free-to-play games and when they come, you scream becauseAnd so I see the whiners complaining about paying.

    As for the game itself, I have only played the first area, and I must admit, I wasn't thrilled with it. The combat system kinda blows, but when you're going for the majority, dumbing it down is the only logical way to go in order to get the most people to play since most people are pretty dumb.    … Expand

    Ascend is a fun game. In the beginning of the game you choose your Titan which has levels. Once you pass a current level you can "Ascend" and get to higher levels and become stronger. But once you Ascend you can only keep one weapon or armor. After you picked your weapon or armor that you choose to keep forever (no matter, how many more Ascends) you will now choose either to stick with theAscend is a fun game.

Once chosen it will take you back to the beginning of the game.

    Note: As soon as you Ascend, all your armor and weapons gets deleted from that character.

    Another side-note: I played the game on Xbox 360. And now that its on PC, I thought I'd give it a try. Sadly the Xbox version got cancelled and the PC version is the only one that is alive as of right now.    … Expand

    The fact that no critic reviews were done, should be enough, to tell that even they wouldn't put the game opn their computer to test it. Sewage in sewage out.
