About this game

Description

Supplied by the Steam store

You are a Construct: an artificial warrior built around a Core that should not exist. Ahead lies the Forgotten Road, three lost lands and the guardians who keep them. Fall, and you wake at the Crossroads. Rise again, a little stronger.

ASCEND: The Forgotten Road is a third-person action roguelike in the spirit of Hades. Its combat is fast, readable, and hard but fair. Every door shows its reward, and every journey is a new build.

Three lands, three guardians

Cross the overgrown ruins of the Abandoned Kingdom, the bone desert of the God-Corpse and the violet courts of the Hidden Civilization. Each land has seven stages, and a guardian waits at the end of each one.

Four weapons, one Core

Counter with the sword's riposte, throw and recall the spear, crash in with the gauntlets' Comet Rush, or keep moving with the bow's running shots and Evasive Volley. Two core abilities and an Overload complete your kit.

Build your Construct

Draw on eight elemental families (Tempest, Ember, Gravity, Echo, Aegis, Verdure, Frost and Radiance) plus weapon relics. Rank them up, chase Empowered and Exalted rarities, and combine two rewards into an evolution.

The Crossroads

Between journeys, trade with Pell the merchant and Brannoc the blacksmith, buy permanent talents at the Mirror of the Core, choose keepsakes and weapon aspects, and fill the Archive with lore and bestiary entries.

Features

Stamina-based dodging, perfect dodges and a single healing charge: every hit counts

3 lands × 7 stages, each ending in a guardian fight

4 weapons with distinct mechanics, plus weapon aspects

8 elemental families, 5 action slots, ranks up to 3 and evolutions

Skull rooms with no-hit challenges, timed treasure rooms and a merchant on the road

Elite foes with Shielded, Volatile, Hasted and Draining affixes

Oath of Trials: Heat oaths that change the rules for veterans

30 Steam Achievements

Built for controller first (PlayStation and Xbox), with full keyboard and mouse support and full rebinding

Reduced motion, screen-shake control and high-contrast danger colours
