FAQ
What type of game is this?
Ascension is a multiplayer game. Gameplay centers on space flight and combat, however there are several elements that distinguish it from other space games past and present. In Ascension you can choose from 6 distinct ship types. Each ship’s abilities provide for unique team strategies. Teams of players work together to accomplish the goals of a particular battle type in order to defeat 1 to 2 other teams. Please check out our info on ship types here: Ships
How does space flight work?
In Ascension you can fly through both exterior and interior spaces using two flight modes. These modes are both familiar to players of flight games and to players of terrestrial based first person shooters. Flight players will find the standard yaw, pitch and roll familiar, while players of first person shooters will enjoy the ability to strafe and fly backward.
Who is Digital Roar?
Digital Roar Studios is an indie game developer in every sense of the term. We are a small team of professionals with the desire to create games that stand out from what is typically considered indie as well as from AAA titles. We look forward to interaction with you, the community, as we develop Ascension. Please take a closer look at us at www.digitalroar.net.
Can you land a ship?
As of right now we do not have plans for implementing landing your ship on either stations or planets. Though in the future, this would be a very interesting feature to support.
Is Ascension pay to play?
No, game play is more akin to a first person shooter where you create or join a game server and play one map to completion by defeating the other team(s). While we would love to expand Ascension to an MMO format, it is currently not part of the plan.
What languages will be supported?
We are planning on supporting most of the common western and eastern languages. The final list of supported languages has not yet been finalized, but it should cater to the vast majority of players.
Will there be an upgrade system for the ships?
We are implementing an achievement system, but how that will affect the ship’s abilities is not ready to be announced yet.
