You suffer everyday doing dangerous and exhausting jobs for the higher ups in an attempt to pay off your debt to The Ascent group. You (and up to 3 others) play as an indent, who starts right in the pits of “Deepstink”. The population is split across multiple floors on one giant metropolis, with the wealthiest placing themselves right at the top. A gritty and violent place filled with mob bosses and crime syndicates in every street. The Ascent story takes place on the planet Veles. Though there are a few things that do get in the way of your enjoyment.

The explosive 8–12-hour campaign, plus a meaty serving of optional side quests will keep your attention well enough. There’s nothing quite like a dystopian cyberpunk city that invites you to dispatch waves upon waves of cyber-enhanced baddies in gruesome and explosive fashion is there? The Ascent has all that is great of the top down “twin stick style” shooter genre and manages to smash it together with one of the most beautifully (in a grimy dank way) detailed cyber-cities ever seen in a video game.
