    This is probably one of the worst games i have played in my life. the free to play model is incredibly bad. The game is huge pay to win game. The gameplay is bad, I really do not know how anyone can give this game a positive score. They really should add a score of -10 for games like this.

    I played as the Void class, which had ice magic. Combat was incredibly tedious, and melee combat for my class with the weapons I had access to was unfeasible except against the weakest opponents.

    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, it is just a way to milk money from people. Horrible game.

Much of Kul feels like it was pilfered from Black and White, just more on the side of if you actually controlled your avatar and had none of the God powers. The game is pay to win through and through, you will never accrue enough souls (in game currency) to fully upgrade weapons and armor, and pumping around 15 in will get you decent enough gear you can manage lower levels with comfort and enjoyment but anything past hour 4-5 is absurd, your shrines will come under regular attack from other people level 17+ when you're barely level 11, they will when you are level 15 you will undoubtedly be invaded or assaulted by a lv 5-7 that's sporting fully upgraded weapons and spells and will kick the ish out of you.
    The combat system is so poorly designed you that pvp reduced itself to nothing but a sloppy tango of uncoordinated dashing mixed with bouts of standing there and slugging each other before the one with the lowest life tries desperately to dash off and use some spells.

    The entire experience falls apart very quickly unless you're willing to sink 100$'s in real cash into the game. This is the issue I constantly find with f2p models, they seem great on the outside, but once you start really looking at them, in order to gain full access to the mediocre content supplied you have spend WELL over what you would pay for a AAA game. Kul here is no exception.    … Expand

    As for the gameplay, the graphics are gawd-awful. PS2 games looked far better than this garbage. "But is it fun?" you might ask. Well, if you think fighting the same boring and cheap enemies over and over and over and over again with the same boring weapons in the same boring locations is fun, then this is your game! Wheeeee!!! Honestly, the only game that's been released recently that's anywhere near this bad is Spartacus, which is also "free" on Xbox.

    Do yourself a favor and avoid this vomitous trash at all costs. Save the $35,000 you'd have to spend on this and other MS "free" junk to make it remotely near fun and buy yourself 1,000 years of PS+ where you get real games like Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, and other triple A titles that don't ask you for anything in order to enjoy the already great game.    … Expand

    Easily one of the BEST F2P titles on any console to date! If your an action RPG fan, do not skip this title.

    This game packs a lot of punch for a f2p title. This game has all the addictiveness of your typical F2P game (i.e. unlocks, progression, multiplayer etc.) but plays out like a payed for title. You get a hefty single player world that intertwines with a pvp (and soon enough, co-op) multiplayer world. Now when I say "intertwined", think Dark Souls. Never played it? Well, basically every player has two copies of the world they play in. One copy is their own world (like a local world) and the other copy is a world connected with other players. So as you are adventuring and questing, you will see silhouettes of other online players. You can interact with them by sending them blessings or curses. But I am getting ahead of myself...

    You play as a Caos warrior (created by you) sent on a mission by one of three gods. You get to choose between the Goddess of Darkness, the God of Light, or Lord of the Void. Each god has different strengths and weaknesses as well as magical powers. By choosing a god you are also committing to which online faction you will fight for. This is where the multiplayer portion comes into play. Throughout your adventure, you will capture shrines and small villages in the name of your god. As you do this, you increase the influence of your god within your local game and your online game simultaneously. The object of the game is to complete your main story quests while fighting for territory control under the god of your choosing. As you level up your caos warrior, you can decide to "ascend" him into the crusade (or faction war) permanently. It's like sending your character on a NPC mission where they fight for territory and plunder under your name. However, once you commit your caos warrior to the crusade, you can not use him again. You then make a new god from scratch.

    So how does the game feel? F****** awesome! These are the tightest controls I have ever played with. Your caos warrior moves and attacks like a true god of destruction would...without mercy. The controls are so responsive, you will literally have nothing to blame your death on except your poor gaming skills. One other thing...there is no difficulty setting. The game will get very hard once your about 15 levels in. So choose your gear and spells wisely. Also, it is not wise to swing widely and take lots of damage. You will have to repair your equipment quite often which can become expensive.

    Which brings me to my next point...the currency system. Now, this is always a hot topic for any F2P game. It's never an easy thing pleasing fans by keeping your game "free" but also making money and keeping everyone happy. But personally, Ascend does a better job then most F2P titles do. There is one currency in the game, souls. There is no "premium" currency in this game. You can earn all your souls without ever spending a dime. By not having a premium currency you are essentially keeping everyone in the same ball park. technically a person could buy expensive soul packs and buy really good gear. But there are equally as good items scattered around the world and in dungeons ready for you to find. I personally bought a bronze level soul pack for $5 (well worth it) which got me 25,000 souls. More than enough to equip my warrior with some really good starting gear. While I was playing, one of my zones was invaded by another player. He was 3 levels higher than me but had really crappy gear. I ended up getting my head stomped in several times by this player. Eventually I had to upgrade my gear and level up some more before I beat him. My point is just because a player buys his gear with real cash does not make him better. If you find yourself getting beat quite often, try beating one of the many randomly generated dungeons in the game and get better loot. Yes you will have to grind away a bit but that's why we play action RPG's in the first place.

    So why not give this game a shot? It's an action RPG, it has multiplayer, character progression, unlocks, quests, and best of all, it's free. You have nothing to lose. The developer has lots planned for this game so I think it is worth your time.    … Expand

    A few issues with the game are that, while functional, the combat can be a little dull; the game makes a habit out of small, immersion fracturing glitches; and as always is the case with f2p games, the micro-transactions can be a little annoying, even If they are understandable. None of this takes away from the experience too much though, and it definitely is a game worth your time.    … Expand

The graphics are pretty and run very smooth, i also like the look and functionality of the menus. You can unlock the good gear without paying for it, but it takes a long time. I bought a point pack to support the developer, because I'm enjoying their game.

    Ascend: Hand of Kul is the MMORPG I've been waiting for in many ways. As long as you have an active XBL Gold account, it's free, which is what I've wanted for so, so long.

You don't need to spend real world money unless you want to, the game has a unique feature with "ascension", and you have a great degree of character customization. I feel like it lacks some things, such as female Caos models and more customization of weapons and armor. I've come across some bugs (random jumping) and I feel some enemies are unnecessary (the "shield" enemy, for one, can definitely go. Already died too many times from them in dungeons.). I also feel that if you've killed a "minor boss" (the ogres, for example) in one area, you shouldn't encounter them again if revisiting an area; rather, repopulate the area with more common enemies. I also feel like armor depletes too quickly and that, in order to get relief from running around in your loincloth, you have to buy souls to repair it (already had to once). Additionally, many encounters with common enemies leave me swarmed and I feel that the number of them must be reduced so players aren't overwhelmed.

    Overall, I'm enjoying Ascend: HoK. I hope the devs release more content soon and I can't wait to get immersed in more lore and adventures!    … Expand

    I've been playing this game for a couple of hours now and I am genuinely enjoying myself.

    Although others have said that the game requires in game purchases in order to have fun, for me this has not been a problem. The currency system works similar to that of Darksiders, when you kill an enemy, they drop souls which can then be used to purchase new armour, spell upgrades and more.

The currency system works similar to that of Darksiders, when you kill an enemy, they drop souls which can then be used to purchase new armour, spell upgrades and more. Accumulating money in this game is not very difficult, by simply following the narrative of the game I gained around 4000 souls within a few minutes. Moreover, at the very beginning of the game, you are given 3000 souls to customize your character with.

    As for player interactivity, the option is there on whether you want to interact with other players (either positively or negatively) but it is never intrusive upon your own gaming experience. Sometimes, I would just be wandering around minding my own business, when a gift would fall from the heavens, gifted to me by another player. Events like this are what, for me, kept the incentive to keep playing fresh in my mind.

    Ascend: Hand of Kul has the traditional sort of RPG elements to it which any fan of the genre should be able to pick up quickly. One of the features that got me excited however, was the effects that your actions had on the overall game. As you advance in the game, all of your achievements will go towards your patron whom you choose at the start of the game. In short, this means that your actions will help make your chosen patron advance above the others.

    Excluding a few minor bug issues with character animation and enemy behaviour, this game is remarkably clean in terms of bugs. The few I encountered in my 4 hour long play-through were very minor and rectified themselves quickly.

    To summarise, this game is definitely worth picking up, especially since it won't cost you any money. It's interesting narrative and customization will ensure that you strive to keep adding to your list of achievements and guide your team to total domination.    … Expand

    i have a couple big problems with it besides some minor glitches the difficulty spikes are very high especially when you fight your first ogre it threw the entire session i was playing off the witch things are much harder than are necessary especially in large groups they are horrid the prices need to go down or souls go up per kill so i dont feel pressured to go and spend 80 bucks i sayi have a couple big problems with it besides some minor glitches the difficulty spikes are very high especially when you fight your first ogre it threw the entire session i was playing off the witch things are much harder than are necessary especially in large groups they are horrid the prices need to go down or souls go up per kill so i dont feel pressured to go and spend 80 bucks i say this only because i have found myself high leveled and no armor no weapons no money and in a large fight and it sucks just dumb down the difficulty this is my fifteenth RPG and i dont want it to leave a bad taste in my mouth i want to continue but dont want it to be a chore… Expand

    PAY TO WIN! Lol no one with even a half of a brain could give this game a score of 10. Game is atrocious. Really, really bad game. but hay with money you will get positive scores ( or with dumb kids that have no clue about nothing )

    Another PAY / GRIND to win game game but this one is even worse then most other free to play game. you are at a huge disadvantage if you do not pay. the game is not free to play. it is free to GRIND! nothing fun in this game at all. complete waste of your time.

    Distinctly average, and aside from a few interesting online elements there's little to keep you coming back for more after your first few hours of gameplay. [Issue#104, p.84]

    Although this simple brawler has some intriguing multiplayer ideas, the solo game's repetitive and the Crusade metagame is hard to invest in. [Dec 2013, p.87]

    Ascend: Hand of Kul convinces with an immediate gameplay and some very interesting features, even if not always implemented properly.
