Our take on ASCENT: Crash Landing
The store page foregrounds an open-world 3D platformer, but the multiplayer scope is narrower than that framing may suggest: local co-op applies to Spark Islands, rather than the whole game. The page also emphasizes several additions without indicating their scale.
What is ASCENT: Crash Landing?
ASCENT: Crash Landing is a three-dimensional platform game set across an open environment.
Bluu and the robot Blip are stranded on an unfamiliar island after being shot down, and must cross Aphid-controlled territory while seeking a route back home. Activities include gathering items, fighting regular enemies, confronting bosses, and completing minigames. The release adds Lunar Islands, extra story scenes, achievements, three save positions, and upgraded assets. Spark Islands can be played alone or in local two-player mode with two controllers. Fullscreen and windowed display options are available. Controller use is recommended. Flashing imagery may pose a risk for individuals sensitive to light.
