4 people teamed up to shoot ARPG “The Ascent” to build a cyberpunk worldview of the Kowloon Walled City | 4Gamers

The new dark-looking bird’s-eye shooting developed by Neon Giant “The Ascent” has been released on Steam at the end of July. Although the evaluation has not burst, the cyberpunk world created by the development team is hard to ignore, especially when You are in the jungle of buildings like the Kowloon Walled City.

“The Ascent” is a four-person team shooting game with a bird’s eye view. Players have simple customization functions to customize their characters. Basically, they operate the protagonist holding a gun and see monsters or criminals in the game. The gun is right.

In combat, the player has the most basic roll (blank key), squat (Ctrl), and left-click waist shooting and right-click shooting with a gun. However, the concept of waist shooting and raising gun shooting here is not “aim more accurate” in first-person shooting, but “shooting height.”

For example, when you are on the same level as the enemy, you can hit the target by simply pressing the left button, but if you press the right button to raise the gun, and then press the left button to shoot, you will find that all the bullets will fly above the enemy , This is because the design of the right button is the concept of “shooting to a high place”.

In other words, when you find that the enemy is on a high platform, you need to use the right button to raise the gun to aim and shoot at a high place; or, if you are squatting behind the bunker and want to shoot the surrounding enemies, you can use the right button to raise the gun and let the bullets from Shoot out from the bunker to kill the enemy.

The bullets are basically unlimited. Different guns can be equipped on the primary and secondary weapons to switch with the scroll wheel. The killed person has a chance to drop money (coins), materials or medical kits, and the picked up equipment can be on the battlefield at any time. After the upgrade, there will be skill points to increase the critical strike, life, and bomb change speed.

Each type of firearm has different performances. For example, shotguns are powerful, but they are only easy to use at close distances, while long distances will have no power due to the spread of ballistics. The performance of assault rifles and submachine guns is very good, suitable for long-distance. In fact, many guns in this game have quite interesting changes, waiting for the players to discover by themselves.

The most interesting thing about this work is the “prosthetic body” device, which is also a set of cyberpunk works. Players can equip their bodies with special mechanical prosthetic bodies to gain more powerful firepower or mobility on the battlefield.

For example, the explosive punch obtained at the beginning of the game is a punch with a long cooling time but super powerful close range. It is particularly useful when the enemy is approaching, and it is also quite shocking to use.

However, the most fascinating thing is still the stunning art scene and storyboard performance of “The Ascent”.

In the game, the world is a corporate city controlled by the Ascent Group. All supplies and materials are distributed by Ascent’s central computer, while the surrounding underground buildings are all formed by the cooperation or competition of various gang organizations that depend on the Ascent Group. Outlying cities.

In this way, one day the Ascent Group’s central computer was disconnected and shut down without warning. This will cause the livelihoods of millions of residents to be at stake. In order to maintain basic order, the “workers” played by the players resolve various incidents in accordance with the instructions of their boss.

In this process, players can explore or trade in this beautiful, dazzling but dirty city, and you can even see interesting signs and dialogues in many scenes.

This game supports up to 4 friends to connect as a team. As long as you select “Online Cooperation” in the main menu (not a friend to connect to the phone), you can invite your Steam friends to join, and the main story progress of the game will be controlled by the player who opened the house. host.
