Synthwave Ascend

Synthwave Ascend is a run-and-gun arcade style game, with some few exploration elements. It has been designed to be a “pick-up and go!” kind of game, wehre you’d enjoy it for quick sessions of 20, maybe 30 minutes.

In an era where games need large updates every time you think about playing them, with large and spralling free-roam worlds, that take days, sometimes months to be fully experienced, we decided to get back to the origins of the 8-bit and 16-bit era of games, where resources where limited and games needed to engage the player for some addictive action.

Think about a mixture of Konami’s “Contra”, Taito’s “Elevator Action” and Capcom’s “MegaMan” series; with the benefits of having Unreal Engine at our service to bring visuals up to the modern era.

It’s a game you’ll play every time you need a quick “gaming fix” and want to destroy some enemy robots and blow up some drones. Just like in the old days!
