Ascendancy is a third person platformer that features jumping and gliding mechanics in a play experience centered on the character movement. Aridana d'lvore has been thrown from her kingdom in the sky to the world of ruin below. She must ascend a great mountain and reclaim her throne from an evil tyrant.
The game is an original concept developed as a single player experience using the Unreal 3 engine made by Vancouver Film School - Game Design 12 - Team Zephyr and created by four individuals. For more information on the game visit Gd.myvfs.com
