The gameplay shows initial promise but is severely hindered by numerous technical issues, including game crashes and save file corruption, which detract from the overall experience. Players express frustration over a lack of progression mechanics and a tedious scroll-grind system, suggesting that improvements are urgently needed to enhance gameplay stability and enjoyment.
“Whilst a game that shows promise initially in both gameplay and design, the constant influx of game-breaking issues - including save file corruption and subsequent game instability - ruin any chance of the game being worthy of its asking price.”
“- Ascension is walled behind a stupid scroll-grind mechanic.”
“After two hours of gameplay, the game crashed.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be significant, particularly for farming gold, scrolls, and gems necessary for upgrades. While the grind becomes more manageable with features like the loop button for boss farming, many feel that the initial hours are overly grindy, especially due to steep costs for new heroes. Overall, while the grind is a core part of the experience, it may require adjustments to improve pacing.
“The grind for gold becomes real, especially when farming keys to access the gold dungeon and grinding scrolls and gems for ascension upgrades.”
“It's a bit too grindy in the first hour(s); the buy and upgrade prices for new heroes are steep, but nothing that can't be adjusted.”
“Fast farming and hard bosses require using your 'active' ultimate skills; forget doing it full-auto in a reasonable amount of time.”
