Darkblade Ascent Free Download (v1.0)
Game Overview
- Fluid & strategic melee combat with tight controls: Smooth, responsive and strategic combat mechanics. Think critically and make tactical decisions to ensure your success. Learn your enemies attack patterns and know when to dodge out of the way, when to parry, when to use your ultimate ability and when to strike back. Create your build as you play according to your playstyle: be a master of the elements or go all-in on pure physical damage. Be a speed demon dodging and evading enemies poking them from range with spears, or a slow berserker delivering devastating blows with massive axes and hammers.
- Randomly generated weapons and upgrades: Almost limitless combinations of weapons in terms of looks and stats. Choose from a wide variety of two-handed swords, fast spears to keep your enemies at range or slow but devastating axes and hammers. Each run is unique and you never know what upgrades or weapons you will get as drops from monsters and for completing stages. Adapt and strategize to playthroughs that are never the same.
- Unique classes with individual talent trees: Unlock new classes as you progress, each with its unique talent trees and game-changing effects. Choose carefully, as you can only pick one upgrade each stage from a selection of 3 randomly presented options. Be a fire mage destroying everything in your path with massive AOEs, burning damage and multiple projectiles. Or master lightning, shocking your enemies making them vulnerable to your melee attacks. Or take advantage of poisons, whizzing in and out of combat applying damage-over-time effects and slows.
- Atmospheric dark-fantasy locations: Hack and slash enemies in beautifully hand-crafted locations with randomized layouts on each run. Explore dark dungeons filled with aggressive skeletons, abandoned medieval villages, derelict cathedral libraries and courtyards, or gloomy and ominous cemeteries.
- Persistent character progression: Death is not the end. Gain experience the longer you stay alive and improve your character after each playthrough with various perks from the talent tree making you more powerful and more prepared to progress further and further.
- Unique enemies and bosses: A variety of powerful adversaries to encounter, each with individual characteristics and abilities. Use different tactics to defeat them, as each type of enemy has different attack patterns and each boss has several phases that you need to strategize against.
