We hope our game is as fun and exciting for you playing it as it was for us to make it.” We will take you across the world, wide and high, in a megacity filled with turmoil and introduce you to characters who have found ways to thrive in this environment. “About three years ago we founded Neon Giant a small game dev studio with the belief that with the right focus and mindset, even just a few people can create grand experiences and high quality games,” said Tor Frick, Creative Director and co-founder of Neon Giant. “We have a passion for creating living worlds and action gameplay – it’s in our DNA from our shared history in the industry and The Ascent is the result of our team’s passion and hard work.”įellow co-founder and Creative Director of the studio Arcade Berg added: “In The Ascent you start off at the bottom of the food chain – that’s just the life of an indent – but as you progress, you will get to grow more powerful, find shiny guns, toys and augmentations making you able to live out your twisted power fantasies – if you choose – with robot tentacles coming out of your back. The Ascent’s explosive action can be experienced by yourself or with up to three friends in local co-op or online. The game also features RPG-style conversations with dialogue trees and surprisingly detailed facial animations. You can customise your character to adjust your playstyle, trying out new augmentations and allocating skill points to boost different stats. RPG elements are everywhere in this shooter. The Ascent is far from a pure action game however. You can aim high and low, take cover and utilize the destructible environment to give yourself the strategic edge in combat. You’ll be able to take advantage of multiple weapons, abilities and gadgets to deal with enemies in combat inspired by top-down, twin-stick shooters.
