Last Ascender

Last Ascender is a first-person turn-based strategy RPG that draws on classic RPG progression, roguelike structure and deckbuilding. It is set in a world covered by the darkness of the Demon King. Players take the role of an Ascender and attempt to end the journey using their own builds and strategic choices.

Combat is turn-based and uses controls described by the developer as intuitive. Each character class has its own skills, so the style of combat differs between classes, and each run gives the chance to try a different strategy. Builds are shaped through relics, of which there are over 100. Relics can be collected, upgraded to increase their power, or synthesised to create stronger ones.

Enemies have varied abilities. As difficulty rises, they become stronger and gain new abilities, which calls for stronger builds from the player. The game is in Early Access, and the developer states that new characters and events will be added throughout this period, along with ongoing balance updates.
