ABOUT THIS GAME​

BUILD A NEW HOME​

Build your survivors a base where they can rest and trade stories between adventures. Farm crops, tame alien beasts, incorporate salvaged technology and fortify your home against hostile intruders

ENGAGE IN DEEP TACTICAL COMBAT​

Prevailing in combat will require more than just point-and-click. A detailed hit simulation and health system will mean that even non-lethal hits can render a survivor unable to go on. Suppressive fire might pin an enemy in place, but the ammunition used up may leave you ill-equipped to fight the next encounter effectively

DRIVE RESTORED VEHICLES​

It's a big world out there. To get around you will need better transportation than your legs can provide. One of the things setting Ascent of Ashes apart from other games of this genre is the ability to restore and drive vehicles.

LEAD YOUR SURVIVORS​

Each survivor has their own unique personality and motivations. As colony leader it is up to you to find and recruit capable survivors to fill gaps in your roster against ever increasing challenges. Can you keep everyone happy, secure and motivated?

EXPLORE A STRANGE NEW WORLD​

You will find yourself in an expansive, procedurally generated world filled with different biomes and points of interest. To survive the post-apocalypse you'll have to brave the pre-collapse ruins and the many dangers that they hold.

CHALLENGE A DYNAMIC AI​

It's not enough to just have an in-depth combat system with a variety of mechanics. You also need opponents capable of using those mechanics to challenge you. Enemies will possess varying degrees of intelligence. Taking on a disorganized band of raiders will play very differently from fighting a squad of well-trained Remnant soldiers.

FROM THE ORGINAL CREATORS OF COMBAT EXTENDED​

Combining the deep simulation of classic post-apocalyptical survival titles with the tactical challenge of classic real time and turn-based gems, the original creators of RimWorld's heralded Combat Extended mod present a fresh take on the colony sim genre that emphasizes exploration, tight balance and strategic gameplay.

MODDING SUPPORT​

Our team has its roots in mod-making and we've been fortunate to have been part of many great modding communities over the years. That's why with Ascent of Ashes, we want to give something back to those communities. We're building the game's engine from the ground up to be easily extendable, and thanks to our extensive experience in creating mods ourselves we know exactly what kind of support mod-makers need. Ascent of Ashes is a game developed by modders, for modders.

It would be interesting if it didn't have a shitty art style.

Agree, as soon as I saw the screenshots I was put off.

Looks like one o those generic games that came out recently.

It seems like they are using templates made by blind and dumb kindergartners.

 

[JamesDixon]

it looks great
you are wrong

Get a load of this dumb and blind kindergartner thinking that art taste is an objective matter when it is entirely subjective to the viewer.

 

[Malakal]

If I cared I could scrounge up several screenshots from different games using the same style? (engine? pre made assets?) to prove my point but I don't care enough.

 

[Norfleet]

More vaporware? Do we even get real games in here anymore?

 

[holla_cabezas_de_mierda]

art looks fine, even good to me, does not bother me, like the combat shown, not sure why some dudes have TV's on their heads, maybe they are robots? But the game looks pretty cool, hopefully someday it will come out..

 

[Norfleet]

Of course the art looks fine. That's because it's FAKE. There is no actual game.

This game is from the creators of the Combat Extended mod for Rimworld. Cautiously optimistic.

Emphasis on the word cautiously. I like the mod and never play without it, but it's very micro intensive for an otherwise streamlined game that make big fights a pain especially. They seem to realize that it might be an issue so they've started to introduce some options into the mod (setting firing modes automatically based on range to target was a huge step forward) that do make me optimistic for their standalone game though.

Hate the artstyle.

[Alienman]

The minimalist art style kinda fits the apocalypse, I think. I would prefer something else, but it's not too bad for the setting.

 

[Norfleet]

Gameplay trailer from a game that doesn't exist. Obvious photoshop.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

There's also demo now.
