Neon Ascent

Read full description

The tower is alive. Its defenses adapt. Your squad must evolve faster. Neon Ascent is a cyberpunk roguelike strategy game built around squad formation, automated battles, and meaningful decisions between fights. Assemble a team of specialized heroes, configure their chip loadouts, and climb through a constantly shifting tower filled with battles, elite enemies, mysterious events, rest points, shops, and powerful bosses. PLAN YOUR FORMATION Place heroes in the Front Row or Back Row to shape how your squad absorbs incoming attacks. Build a balanced team with Vanguard, Striker, Support, and Hacker heroes, or create a high-risk combination designed around speed, critical hits, shields, healing, or area damage. BUILD YOUR SQUAD Recruit and develop a growing roster of heroes with unique skills and ultimate abilities. Upgrade their levels, increase their star rank, and equip them with chips that change the way they perform in battle. AUTOMATED COMBAT, STRATEGIC DECISIONS Once a battle begins, your heroes fight automatically according to their speed, abilities, energy, and battlefield conditions. Before and between battles, your decisions determine whether the squad survives. Choose your route, manage your resources, collect relics, and react to changing threats. EXPLORE THREE CHAPTERS Each climb is generated from branching routes. Choose between standard battles, elite encounters, events, shops, recovery points, and chapter bosses. No two climbs need to follow the same path. COLLECT RELICS AND CHIPS Discover temporary relics during a run and build combinations that strengthen your team. Collect persistent chips in four equipment categories, improve their levels, and forge three matching chips into a stronger random upgrade. MASTER THE TALENT NETWORK Spend Neural Cores on permanent talents across three branches. Improve squad damage, defense, critical chance, recovery, energy generation, resource gain, and advanced survival effects. TAKE ON DAILY ACTIVITIES Return for rotating activities including Signal Hold, Ghost Draft, Overmind Trial, and Core Siege. Chase higher scores, unlock reward tiers, and test different squad compositions outside the main climb. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Complete daily and weekly missions, claim achievements, grow your account rank, and review your statistics as your tower journey develops. PLAY OFFLINE Neon Ascent is designed as a single-player offline experience. No account, internet connection, advertising, or multiplayer matchmaking is required. All currencies and rewards in the game are virtual gameplay items. Neon Ascent does not sell virtual currency or gameplay advantages through in-app purchases.
