    Ascendant proves brilliantly to apply The Art of War by Sun Tzu into an intimate action platformer. If you are not scared of permanent death, you will enjoy perfectly motivating roguelike action game set in pleasant scenes.

    Ascendant is a decent brawler and you will have fun watching the amazing artwork of your character slicing his way through a marauding horde of enemies. The game is not for the faint-hearted though, as death is final and a lot of people will (like me) get annoyed far too easily due to this.

    Ascendant is a colorful, original platformer that desperately needs more content.

    Ascendant is a great roguelike experience that has similar elements to Rogue Legacy and Binding of Isaac. I've spent over 10 hours on the gameAscendant is a great roguelike experience that has similar elements to Rogue Legacy and Binding of Isaac. I've spent over 10 hours on the game and haven't even reached the final boss, so it is definitely worth the $10.

    The only disappointment I have related to the game is the lack of people playing! The game is AMAZING! What are you waiting for?    … Expand

    I noticed this game by seeing Total Biscuit's favorable review of it. I bought it on steam for $10 and was still very pleasantly surprised.

    You also have a pretty rough start, you can see that as a positive or a negative, I personally like it. On your first 2 or so hours you're pretty much stuck on the first 2 levels. That might sound boring, but once you figure out your mistakes in those eureka moments, it's incredibly satisfying.    … Expand
