This squad-based multiplayer shooter sees you and two other pals teaming up to dive into a vibrant biopunk-styled world in a \u201cBattle for the Biocores.\u201d With only three biocores being fought over by four teams, someone will come away empty-handed. \u00a0The other problem is that between you and your bounty is a post-apocalyptic landmass filled with saurian monstrosities (and, uhhh, giant loot-dropping snails \u2014it gets weird out there), and three other teams of players equally determined to run off with the loot.<\/p>\n<p>Developer PlayFusion has called Ascendant.com an &apos;adaption shooter,&apos; as the environment is constantly threatening to shift and change, forcing players to adapt on the fly. For instance, if you (or another team) reach the missile launcher system in a map&apos;s central tower, you can target a part of the map and airstrike it, turning it into a crater-filled wasteland. The trade-off? Your location will be revealed to all rival players. Or maybe you prefer the toxic gas approach? Whatever your poison, Ascendant.com offers many ways to manipulate and master the battlefield.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"m58B3RQ63Sy5KTVXFdyhVZ\" name=\"Ascendant_Beam_Gloves-1080p.jpg\" alt=\"Using the Beam Gloves in Ascendant.com\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/80s-styled-online-shooter-ascendant-com-is-getting-a-closed-beta.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: PlayFusion)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In direct combat, you&apos;ll have an arsenal of highly customisable futuristic weapons to fool around with. Swap out your barrel to boost toxic ammo, turn each of your sniper shots into a spread of carpet-bombing cluster grenades, or play a defensive powerhouse plonking down shields and defences for your team while they gun down the enemy. Every FPS playstyle is accounted for, and countless team compositions are viable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Will your team lurk in the shadows while others duke it out for the biocores? \u00a0Will you go in all guns blazing? Or maybe, to take down vicious creatures like the subterranean Burrower, you&apos;ll form fleeting alliances with your rivals, before turning on them to claim the Hyper Cannon that said creature drops upon death.
