In This Lovecraft Inspired Roguelite Game You'll Lead a Team of Alpinists
A demo is now available!
Ascenders: Beyond the Peak is a roguelite game where you'll have to lead a group of alpinists who have to recover ancient artifacts in a cursed mountain.
With vertical survival, you'll have to prepare your expedition, evolve your climbers, master rope mechanics, and fight against Lovecraftian creatures.
"Ice-covered walls, avalanches, crumbling rock faces, toxic vegetation: the terrain itself is your first enemy." In this game, the environment will also be a challenge in each expedition, and the further you go up the mountain, the harder it will get.
Your team will be physically connected through a rope, and this will represent challenges and advantages at the same time. You'll have to create a strategy, take hard decisions if needed, and face death closely.
"Every expedition is a desperate attempt to reach the summit and return alive. But each artifact carried, each danger triggered, each whisper in the wind tightens a pressure your climbers were never built to bear. Death after death, you learn to turn the environment into a weapon, mastering each ascent through hard-earned roguelite progression. The mountain, unfortunately, learns faster…" – Developer's description.
The artifacts you recover will be very different from each other. Some of them will have so much power that they will influence your team's synergy. You'll have to be careful with your decisions and actions.
Ascenders: Beyond the Peak is set for release in Q3 2026, but you can download the demo on Steam or add it to your wishlist.
