Description: The classic game of space exploration and galactic empire building is back. Winner of the 1996 Codie Award for Best Strategy Software, Ascendancy has been remade by the director and lead designer of the original release. Pick one of twenty-one alien species to lead to the stars. Manage your planets, research new technologies, design ships, and explore the cosmos. Once your people venture to the stars, they will encounter exotic spacefaring life forms with wildly varying personalities. Strange effects abound; each species has its own special power, and technological advances allow you to bend the rules of the cosmos. Be a diplomat or a warlord. Win by force or by unity. Can you lead your people to Ascendancy? This release of Ascendancy is true to the classic. It was made with the original game rules, artwork, music, and sound. The new touch interface allows you to explore the three-dimensional starmap with ease. Please note that Ascendancy is compatible with iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, 3rd/4th generation iPod touch, and iPad.
