Ascent: Rivals

About

Ascent: Rivals is a chaotic twin-stick shooter where speed and firepower collide. Players jockey for position in high-octane races while unleashing bullets to knock opponents off course. The controls feel tight despite the mayhem, balancing arcade-style shooting with competitive racing. Single-player and multiplayer modes let you test skills against AI or human rivals in matches that prioritize aggression as much as agility. Developed by a four-person indie team, the game’s early alpha phase already shows ambitious polish. Its blend of chaotic competition and simple mechanics has drawn attention for how it turns racing into a contact sport. While still in development, the raw energy of its matches and the sheer variety of player motivations, ranging from pure fun to survival stakes, make it a standout in the indie scene.
