Have you ever wondered what it's like to stop the time? Ascend to ZERO is a time-control roguelike, in which you can use your special ability to stop the time itself and efficiently fight your way through the top. Freeze the time to dodge opponents' attacks using your unique ability, and always hold a higher ground for the combat. However, don't forget that the time allowed for you is confined.

What people are saying

The Real Review

People are mostly digging this time-control roguelike, where freezing time to dodge and attack is a killer hook that everyone loves. The gameplay is solid and it looks good, but the difficulty feels punishing and the performance is rough, with frequent complaints about crashes and frame drops on both PC and Xbox. It's a fun concept from Flyway Games that feels worth the price, just be ready for some jank and a steep challenge.
