Ascendency - Underrated obscure DOS strategy game
Ascendency - Underrated obscure DOS strategy game
I remember playing this in the old days. Very open ended space strategy game with creative non-humanoid races and a deep skill tree.
I recommend this game for anyone looking for a DOS era strategy game.
I spent ages playing this when I was a kid. I remember all the different races having their own unique music theme which kinda slapped.
Yeah, the music was pretty unique and atmospheric!
The music! I used to just let it run on my computer at night while I slept.
One of my all time favorites. There is an AI patch kicking around on the Internet that makes it more difficult.
Yeah, it was an official one too, if I remember correctly.
Yeah that's right. It would be nice if there was enough interest for a community to remaster the game...
Played that back in the day. I remember especially liking the ship building part, but no details other than that. Might have to give it another go. Do you know where I can get it?
Some abandoneware sites can help you out.
It's also included in the eXoDOS pack.
Thank you, that's awesome!
What was your favorite faction to play as? What was your most hated rival faction?
It must have been at least 15 years since I last played it, so names have slipped my mind. I loved the lizard like creatures from the main menu, and I hated the ultra aggressive lava dudes
Cool. Yes, the lizards who could instantly research. The Shiva (robot species) were super aggressive. Also the research stealers.
