Ascent: Rivals
SteamQuotes: "Most stand out game at PAX convention" - Linus Tech Tips
Ascent Rivals combines high speed racing, precision combat, and strategic progression into one competitive multiplayer experience. Shoot down rivals to earn ARC, upgrade your ship between heats, and adapt your strategy as every match evolves.

Every heat earns ARC. Spend it between rounds to upgrade your ship, counter your rivals, and evolve your strategy as the match unfolds.

As soon as the first four pilots finish, an Ascension Zone appears. Every remaining pilot has 24 seconds to fight their way into the zone and stay alive. Every heat ends with one last chance to turn the tide.
