Ascension Sandbox

Ascension Sandbox is a deep cultivation simulation, mostly told through text and menus, with procedural pixel art and a procedurally composed soundtrack. Before you are born, the world plays out centuries of history: sects are founded and fall, clans feud, kingdoms go to war. It keeps living while you play. Rise through the realms. Climb from Mortal through Qi Condensation, Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation. Survive heavenly tribulations, then ascend to the Upper Realm and go on toward Golden Immortal.Three paths. Refine qi, temper the body (even without spiritual roots), or strengthen the soul. Spiritual roots, more than 40 physiques and 13 daos shape every life.Limb-level combat. Every blow lands on a body part. Limbs are severed, organs pierced, meridians torn and souls struck. Beasts fight in their own shapes: pythons coil, spiders strike on eight legs, dragons fight as dragons.Hands-on crafting. Alchemy, forging, talismans, formations, puppetry and spirit farming each have their own minigame, skill ranks and world ranking.Replicate anything. Every item is built from materials whose properties become its effects. Study or dismantle any treasure to learn its design, invent your own, and create original cultivation, combat and movement arts from dao insight.A world of people. Make friends, rivals, sworn siblings, masters and disciples, dao companions and enemies who hunt you. Someone you wronged may become a nemesis who keeps pace with your realm.Sects, clans and legacies. Join a sect and rise in its ranks, or found your own clan. When you die, continue as your child, disciple or descendant, and your belongings and sealed inheritances pass on.Secrets of heaven. Delve into secret realms, read fate through divination, find hidden gates between worlds, and seek out six undying ancients whose favour, or rage, follows you across playthroughs.Discord: https://discord.gg/TEWGrBpprf
