Few indie games can pull off an explosive debut as The Ascent did at the Xbox Series X showcase event in May 2020. Developed by the Swedish indie studio known as Neon Giant (founded by former Bulletstorm and Wolfenstein developers ), The Ascent impressed many right away with its blend of triple-A graphics production values and high-octane top-down shooting, a mix that we don t exactly see every day.
But The Ascent promises much more than that, including classic roleplaying elements like character progression and loot, four-player coop support, and the ability to freely roam (vertically as much as horizontally) a cyberpunk world called Veles where the dominant megacorporation has just collapsed, leaving a vacuum of power.
