I bet The Ascent is the Cyberpunk Lite for anyone don't like Cyberpunk 2077 or don't have money for bought Cyberpunk from C
But Neon Giants was doing good about neon environment but they should made this for sandbox and open-world that the game more realistic and greater for the next time

Fantastic cyberpunk game, 4/5. The world pulls you in, the music is captivating, the environments gorgeous, enemies pack a punch, and the story isn't too bad either. Highly recommend if you enjoy twin-stick shooters.

Great and fun game. If you like Top/down shooters with a Cyberpunk-style world, you will enjoy this game.
  • Nice looking game, runs great
  • Fun gameplay
  • Many guns and armor type
  • Repetitive, same enemies most of the game
  • Very confusing and hard to understand story, have no idea what is happening entire gameplay.
  • Pretty hard game. Prepare to die a lot.

A dark and gritty top-down shooter, with an abundance of quality visuals that build an incredible world.
  • Amazing graphics, low performance cost as well
  • Maps are large and full of enemies, loot, collectibles
  • Perks and weapons galore to suit your playstyle, customize your clothes/character as well
  • Gameplay can feel repetitive, missions as well

This game is fantastic. I paid it just €1,00 and... after playing it, that seems a crime. It's TOO GOOD. I had more fun with this, than with Diablo 3. A cyberpunk, visually appealing ARPG full of blood and fun.

This game is a mixed bag. The battle system is cumbersome as it uses two sticks, one to move the other to aim in conjunction with the buttons. So after an hour of game play you will surely find your wrists hurting. The graphics are good and the story is ok, but based on the fact that the battle is so tiresome I just cant really recommend this game unless you get it on a sale for a few bucks.
  • Good graphics
  • Fixed camera, horrible controls, battle system is really hard to aim

The Ascent: Cyber Edition is an enhanced version of the cyberpunk-themed twin-stick shooter RPG, The Ascent. Set in a visually stunning, neon-drenched world, the game delivers fast-paced combat, deep RPG mechanics, and a gripping atmosphere. The Cyber Edition includes additional content, performance improvements, and DLCs, making it the definitive version. While the core gameplay is engaging, with satisfying gunplay and co-op options, it still suffers from occasional technical issues, repetitive missions, and a somewhat shallow narrative. Despite its flaws, it remains a solid choice for cyberpunk and action-RPG fans.
  • Stunning cyberpunk visuals and world design
  • Satisfying twin-stick shooter combat
  • Co-op gameplay enhances the experience
  • Story lacks depth and emotional impact
  • Missions can feel repetitive over time
  • Occasional bugs and performance issues

Game is ok. Local Coop is ok, but it can be confusing to play it because of how the crosshairs are used. Both player 1 and 2 share the same red or whatever color is your HUD and it’s very distracting for someone like me to differentiate which character I’m playing as in the same screen. The HUD colors are very limited as there’s nothing much but the unsettling color red everywhere. You can change it ti orange red or orange, but it is still ugly and uncomfortable to look at prolonged hours in game. The map has a cool concept, but there’s no way to tell if you’re in a high level area unless you want to risk it yourself.

Very nice game, best graphics so far for this kind of view (like Diablo's view) . The ambience, landscape story, characters are very nice, detailed, good style. Music is awesome, it is even a big part of the game, reminds me of street of rage's music, very adapted to the gameplay. Well that's the same here. I fall in love with this game music (cheers pablov).

This game is awesome, really worth 20 euros (in fact, its would be worth 35 easily). Buy dat sh/t, play dat sh/t.

Only bad thing to say, lack of cinematics (beautiful ones but really few of them)
  • awesome music
  • awesome universe/landscapes
  • good graphics, very nice animations
  • good story
  • not much to say. very few localization bugs maybe (for some 2dary missions)
  • not enough cinematics
