Age of Ascent

About

Age of Ascent is a multiplayer space simulator where players build and manage colonies across a galaxy modeled after the real Milky Way. Choose to work alone or team up with others to wage real-time ship battles, trade resources, and shape an economy driven entirely by player actions. The game layers base building, resource management, and direct control of spacecraft in fast-paced combat with thousands of ships sharing the same universe. The game uses actual star positions but adds a distinct visual flair. Large scale battles involve thousands of ships, and the player-driven market means every decision impacts the universe. With support for multiple platforms and co-op play, it offers a flexible way to engage with a constantly shifting sandbox. Players often note the way strategy and exploration create a dynamic environment where alliances and economies shift rapidly.

Storyline

The year is 2176 and humanity has been forced to abandon the earth and rise into space, to start a new civilisation. Faster-than-light travel and communications have been achieved, and now it is time to help build the new world and fight for your way of life. Age of Ascent is a truly massive multiplayer space game set in a vast galaxy, where you can play solo or join an alliance to explore and advance in an ever-evolving sandbox environment. It features six degrees of freedom direct-piloting real-time battles with thousands of ships; millions in the same galaxy, an entirely player-driven economy, deep strategy, and multi-device support. We’re using the real Milky Way star catalogue and as much real science as we possibly can to provide a vast galaxy to explore, but with a unique custom visual style. We provide deep game play that encompasses all components of strategy-based and first-person sandbox MMO games where players interact with each other and the universe.
