Ascend is what happens when a small team plays Titanfall, likes what they see then decide to go and (try) make something better.
It’s a sci-fi multiplayer shooter, you can run on the walls and you can call down a mech (well, an exo-suit here) to climb into and really wreck some shit. So far so Titanfall.
The difference here is that there’s a lot more attention being paid to the on-foot parkour stuff, with not just wall-running present but all kinds of additional tools and combos available, like a hook which lets you swing around like a gun-toting Spider-Man.
What’s there looks cool! What’s there isn’t that much right now, though, with the game having a projected release of 2018, and only having just turned up on Steam’s Greenlight.

This’ll be great…. right up to the cease and desist!
I don’t know if a C&D will happen. They’re using Exo-suits instead of giant titan mechs. Sure it’s similar, but the difference is enough for a C&D to not hold up.
Edit:
Disregard. I just saw the video. C&D Inbound.
lmao!
Looks exactly the same a TF2 at the moment. How they intend to make it better is yet to be seen.
