What is the Ascension iOS app? It is an iOS implementation of the fantasy deck building game of the same name. I bought it for $.99 and immediately bought the expansion. Overall – I would definitely recommend a pickup of this game. Then I notice after I played my hand, and I’m irritated. I always forget to do that before I start buying\fighting. There is for instance, a card that allows you to draw an extra card to your hand. The other thing that is a tad bothersome is that when you have constructs in play (they are always active, you don’t have to draw them), it is difficult to remember you have them to act upon. You have to ‘throw’ the cards, and if you don’t get them to just the right area it doesn’t work. The game makes it clear if you can’t do anything else on your turn, which is helpful (especially as you are learning the game).Ī couple nits on the interface: Dragging to the void (when you defeat monsters) or adding to your discard (when you buy cards) is a little touchy. The art looks good, the game play is smooth, and you have the ability to speed up or slow down game play. Or, if you have enough power, you can choose to defeat a monster. Then depending on what you draw to your hand, you can buy other cards with special abilities.
So you might buy a card that gives you more Runes (money), or Power (Heavy Militia). Short Overview of Gameplay -> It’s a deck building game, where the goal is to gain victory points by killing monsters or buying cards with VPs associated with them. Its easy enought that even our 9 year old likes this game, and strategic enough to have me keep going back for more! I like the fact that you can play online with other players in your spare time (taking turns and checking back when it’s convienent for you) or just play on your network with a roomate or go it alone. This tutorial made it fun and easy to learn this game!
I learn best by doing things, rather than just having to listen to a bunch of rules. I must say, the tutorial for this game is the best one I have seen! It walks you step by step through the beginning of one game and allows you to play from there or start a new game. You must banish evil monsters along the way (thus, the graphics that turned me off to begin with). You also get points for having more cards than your opponent and there are points assigned to special cards (bottom left corner). You are trying to gain star points to win.
This game reminds me of Dominionin- the way that you start out with a deck and need to build up from the basic cards, acquiring better cards in front of you. He let me play this on his iPad, and after going through the tutorial- I was hooked! I put off buying this app due to the graphics of the game (they completely turned me off). My partner taught me Dominion a while ago, and suggested this game to me.
