Ascenxion

Ascenxion is a 2D shoot ’em up in which you explore a field, gain skills and items, and unlock new areas. It combines exploration with puzzles, traps, elite units, boss fights and other obstacles. Rewards make you stronger as you work to uncover the truth about the world.

A world after humanity

Humanity disappeared in an enormous explosion, leaving no one to explain what happened or remember those who were lost. After what seems like an eternity, you awaken among the remains of human civilization. As you explore, you find records left by humans and meet beings who assist you, piecing together the secret of the world and facing its truth.

Tactical shoot ’em up combat

Combat emphasizes choices and concentration rather than simply dodging enemy bullets and attacking continuously. Terrain can provide cover, basic attacks reduce your movement speed, and attack and evasion skills draw on a shared pool of resources. You combine basic attacks, skills and items’ active effects to defeat enemies.

Items and skills

Exploration rewards you with dozens of distinctive items. Rune stones combine weapons and use effects, while general items provide lasting basic effects and experience bonuses.

Each aircraft type has four skills. From the second skill onward, skills unlock when you defeat boss monsters encountered during the game. For each stage, you choose one of two skills, and you can change that choice at any time to suit the terrain or enemies.

Unleash potential

The main character has great power sealed inside. Completing an event encountered during the game lets you unleash it, modifying the aircraft’s skills and overall stats. Each unleashed aircraft has a different play style, and you can continue leveling it up.
