I love the fact that this gameFor the record, Ascend is nothing like Mafia wars or Farmville. It resembles more DarkSouls than anything else. I love the fact that this game is free and I can pay for what I want when I want. No reason not to download Ascend and at least try it. The game itself is more of an action/RPG with some cool multiplayer light components that allows you to help or curse other players. You can Ascend your Caos and have them control territories which brings in cash for you. You can collect a ton of armor and items all while leveling up your Caos. Intereacting with other players is really cool, and yet hard to describe, you gotta play to see it. Anyways, well worth the free download if anything just to check out. Best F2P game easy on XBOX Live. Looking forward seeing how Microsoft evolves this game over time.… Expand

   At first i was concerned about the soul system, not knowing there is a workshop at the sanctury where gear can be reapired free of charge!!At first i was concerned about the soul system, not knowing there is a workshop at the sanctury where gear can be reapired free of charge!!
   
   The fighting is a bit repetative, but good fun. the character customisation isnt that great, but no problem, lots of good gear to hide that face of yours in! The currency system of souls works fine for me, having 5 ascended champions that are collecting souls for me trough capturing altars and such. i get a sollig 5000 souls each hour or so, besides what i make doing dungeons and q. I have a steady stash of 200000 souls and great gear, while NOT SPENDING A DIME! Good game!! CU there!!! Free download trough steam!!!!… Expand

   I would give this 10/10 but as we all know, no game is perfect and there are afue things missing from Ascend: Hand of Kul but who cares? ItsI would give this 10/10 but as we all know, no game is perfect and there are afue things missing from Ascend: Hand of Kul but who cares? Its FREE, in my opinion its the best free game on XBL and one of the best (if not the best) free game I've ever played, anyone who thinks this is like those stupid facebook games is a fool, as someone already stated it is much more similar to Dark Souls than anything, not the point, this game is more than worth the download and it does not force you to spend money on it, I've not spent a single penny on this game and I'm having no difficulty in it, armor durability problem? then save up souls and upgrade it, weapon problem? upgrade or get a better weapon by dung running, there are so many simple solutions to the in game problems, "Shield" enemies? Heavy attack then Normal attack then Heavy attack again, simple. Do not be put off by what others think, especially since this game IS FREE!! Download and try it for yourself, if you like it then cool, if not then it didn't cost you anything so why care?
   
   Anyways thank you for reading this (if you do) and take it easy all.… Expand

Swords and axes are fast, two handed maces deal AOE damage.
   
   My fingers started to hurt really quick from all the button mashing. It seems that the game is very heavily focused on grinding for gear, which... comes almost broken when you find it. This is the first time in an RPG where finding loot feels more frustrating than fun (cause I have to repair EVERY item I find).
   
   Somehow with 3 factions I've expected PVP, but it's not in the current release (marked as BETA). Currently factions seem really imbalanced, with dark having almost twice as many players/achievements as either of the other factions.
   
   Overall, when compared to other P2W games, I would prefer to spend my money on other games, and not this one, even though the style of this game seems promising.… Expand

   Let me start off by saying that I dislike this game. The gameplay was decent, the darkness was cool and everything seemed ok. That was upLet me start off by saying that I dislike this game. The gameplay was decent, the darkness was cool and everything seemed ok. That was up until I noticed that if you want to get ahead or be the best you have to pay actual money to get the best stuff. I tried again and again to compete with peoples scores who were paying real money and it was sadly incomparable. I deleted it from my hard drive never to play again. It was fun but once you find out you got to pay cash to get ahead the fun goes right down the drain, along with this games score from me. A smelly 5.… Expand

You'll have a number of pvp fights in the game between yourself and members of other factions. Because all equipment is purchased with souls, anyone who puts money into the game has a very large advantage. All greater gear is only available through a high level of currency that must be purchased as that level cannot be earned by playing.
   Also, all gear needs souls (currency) to repair, or you will have no equipment at all. Some players end up not having enough souls to buy new gear or repair their own, and then they are forced to either spend real money or not play. The company refused to reset any accounts.
   It's not free, it's a cash cow in disguise. Free to get in the door, pay if you want to actually play.
   Don't bother playing the game, rather show the pay-to-win model that we aren't interested in crap anymore.… Expand
