Ascendant proves brilliantly to apply The Art of War by Sun Tzu into an intimate action platformer. If you are not scared of permanent death, you will enjoy perfectly motivating roguelike action game set in pleasant scenes.
Ascendant is a colorful, original platformer that desperately needs more content.

Ascendant is an amazing rogue-like that keeps **** me back in. After over 100 hours in the game, I feel I am more than qualified to give this a rating, and the only word I can think of is "Beautiful"

Ascendant is a great roguelike experience that has similar elements to Rogue Legacy and Binding of Isaac. I've spent over 10 hours on the game and haven't even reached the final boss, so it is definitely worth the $10.
The only disappointment I have related to the game is the lack of people playing! The game is AMAZING! What are you waiting for?

Ascendant is a decent brawler and you will have fun watching the amazing artwork of your character slicing his way through a marauding horde of enemies. The game is not for the faint-hearted though, as death is final and a lot of people will (like me) get annoyed far too easily due to this.
I noticed this game by seeing Total Biscuit's favorable review of it. I bought it on steam for $10 and was still very pleasantly surprised. Or unpleasantly dissappointed, because I was planning to do one more run until I had to force myself to quit 20 deaths and 3 hours later.

The game is a bit too RNG dependant, but asides from that it's a great game and I've already put 22 hours into it.
You also have a pretty rough start, you can see that as a positive or a negative, I personally like it. On your first 2 or so hours you're pretty much stuck on the first 2 levels. That might sound boring, but once you figure out your mistakes in those eureka moments, it's incredibly satisfying.

Summary Ascendant is the unforgiving beat 'em up in which you are a demigod invading a world controlled by your rivals. Choose your fate by discovering Blessings, equipping mighty weapons and spells, and learning to survive in this brutal realm. Only the most impressive warriors have a chance of victory.
