Hello Ascenders!
The Ascend to ZERO team has been hard at work, making sure that the game can be the best version itself that it can possibly be. As promised last week, we have some exciting news to share:
Ascend to ZERO will have a limited time OPEN playtest starting next week! Though the playtest will be an open playtest (meaning anyone can apply and join), you can register your intent to join on the store page NOW so that once the playtest opens, you will receive an email to jump in on the action once the playtest is live!
Playtest Schedule
December 10 12:00 AM ~ December 27 11:59 PM PST
December 10 05:00 PM ~ December 28 04:59 PM GMT+9
Ascenders have a lot to look forward to in the Ascend to ZERO playtest!
- Manipulate/Control Time: The clock is ticking, but luckily you can manipulate and bend time to your will! Every second is another weapon in your arsenal - learn to wield it better with every passing run!
- Multiple avatars to play as with unique abilities: By making progress in your runs, you can unlock multiple avatars! With multiple avatars to choose from that each have their own unique abilities and skills, you can choose the character that best suits your style!
- Make Custom Builds Tailored to your Playstyle: Want to be a glass-cannon? No problem, make a build that decimates anyone who stands in front of you. Speed is the name of your game? Lock and load as you zip around your enemies while maintaining a safe distance! Every choices you make can drastically alter each run!
- Obtain special chips to get even stronger: Defeat elites and bosses to get rare special chips that can enhance your weapons, give new weapons, tremendously increase your stats, and so much more! Special chips can remove the limits to your potential as you race to save the world!
Our limited-time playtest runs for just over two weeks. Sign up now and manipulate time in a race against the clock to rewrite fate!
Please keep in mind
While it is still a work-in-progress, we believe that the playtest version of the game is the latest culmination of our development progress and player feedback, which will have new content that hasn't been seen before. With that in mind, we will be removing the currently available demo from the Steam Store page on December 8 05:00 PM GMT+9 until further notice.
- Though you won't be able to use your demo save data in the playtest, your demo save file is safe, so no worries there!
- The demo will go back up at some point after the playtest has finished.
- The playtest save data is specific to the playtest build and therefore will not be able to be carried over to the demo and full version of the game.
Stay tuned, keep your notifications on, and wishlist if you haven’t already!
