Ascent of Ashes looks like RimWorld’s bases combined with X-Com tactics

The developer Vivid Storm has released a brand new gameplay video showing Ascent of Ashes, the company’s X-Com Meets RimWorldColony Simulator in Action

Ascent of AshensIt is a postapocalyptic, survival game where the player must manage a group of colonists who are constantly being attacked by raiders and aliens. This means that the player has to take care of all the colonists. Which means you’ll need to build a settlement that can sustain the populace The following are some examples of how to get started:Keep out all external threats. Hold off outside threats You can also find out more about us here. means you’ll need to strike back as well, by sending your soldiers out on expeditions.

A popular song inspired the creation of Vivid Storm. RimWorld mod, Combat Extended, which completely overhauled the game’s combat. Instead of a percentage based shooting system based off the pawn’s stat, Combat Extended added a ballistic shooting model, rebalanced the game’s weapons and armor, and made tons of other balance changes. Ascent of AshensTake those changes further and evolve into its own unique game.

Ascension of AshsThe real-time combat will make players more cautious. The battlefield can be considered at any point. You could face simple criminals such as raiders…or hyper-intelligent predators. A colonist can be eliminated with just one or two shots. Stressful! There are also some relaxation elements in the game. The colonists must grow their food, and construct their barracks.

I’m definitely interested to learn more about this game, which is due to release later this year. Ascent of Ashes is also host to the chillest pig I’ve ever seen in my life, who doesn’t seem worried about any of the robots or raiders outside his little green field.
