The Ascendant Sect

The Ascendant Sect puts players in charge of a fallen sect that needs rebuilding. From a fixed roster of 36 disciples, each with their own name, background and strengths, players select five to form their party. The campaign covers six domains, and players choose which routes to take as they progress. Rewards gathered along the way go towards strengthening the chosen team rather than replacing its members.

Battles play out automatically, so the focus is on preparation. Players assign each disciple a position and a party role, and these choices determine how shields, recovery and damage combine during a fight. Every disciple has a personal talent tree, and sect legacies provide bonuses that apply across the whole roster. Equipment can be moved directly between disciples, and a forging system allows players to add stats the party lacks. Health, shield and recovery values remain visible throughout each battle.

Completing a regional campaign unlocks an Endless Expedition for that region, with rewards granted after each battle. At the time of writing, the game’s Steam page lists four user reviews.
