The game

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.

The real review

Ascend to Zero’s core time-freeze mechanic is solid, but people are mostly frustrated. They’re slamming the developer, Flyway Games, and calling out both the PC and Xbox versions for being a buggy, broken mess. Outside of a clever idea and fair difficulty, it just doesn’t work.
