Co-op ARPG Ascendants Rising Lets You Take On Dungeon Bosses Without The Grind

If you like taking on bosses in raids and dungeons but can’t be bothered with grinding and leveling, then you’d probably want to keep an eye out for Ascendants Rising, a new co-op ARPG where players take on the role of Multiverse heroes called Incarnates as they take on challenging bosses from across time and space.

“Whether you’re playing as a Healer, Striker, or Protector, your unique Incarnate will be able to master countless combinations of abilities, as well as Artefacts: mighty weapons that can be infused and leveled up with an array of gems. With three game modes (Coliseum, Dungeons, & Raids), randomly generated bosses, and a story stretching across numerous themed worlds ranging from Medieval Fantasy, Lovecraftian Horror, Sci-Fi, as well as Urban Fantasy, there is always something new for you and your friends to experience. What will you encounter in the Multiverse?”

Ascendants Rising is entirely skill-based with no leveling system and class restrictions. Every aspect of an encounter is randomized to ensure that no two fights are the same. Players have access to a ton of spells, weapons, and abilities that they can put together to tailor fit their Incarnates to their preferred playing style.

“You want to slap enemies with your big sword to heal your team? Done! You want to backstab enemies with your gun? Sure, why not! You want to savor some classic crispy Fireball-cooked enemies? We can hook you up!” reads the game description on Steam.

Ascendants Rising will be launching into Early Access on Steam this Friday, June 25.
