Ascension Tactics is a tactical fighting game set in the legendary Vigil universe. A truly explosive cocktail of mechanics — deck building and hurricane skirmish in the arena. You have definitely never seen such a nuclear combination! Assemble an asymmetric team of champions, pump up your deck with powerful cards, and destroy all opponents in your path.

In ancient times, one of the five gods — Samael, known as the Fallen — rebelled against his brothers. Their war split reality into five fragments, and Samael was forever cast into the Void. Now, having escaped from a thousand-year imprisonment, he wants to seize the prosperous lands of Vigil and take revenge on his brothers. Remembering the consequences of the past battle, the four gods send representatives of their worlds to help Vigil.

Tactics is a new series of tactical fighting games based on the deck-building mechanics of the famous Ascension deckbuilder. Collect and play incredible combinations of cards to give your champions additional abilities, control them on the battlefield, and even recruit new ones. Break through and take control of key points - your main source of glory and victory points.

Deckbuilders will appreciate the time-tested mechanics from the classic Ascension. Here you will find cards of different factions interacting with each other, and different resources, and cards of structures that strengthen your champions. And fans of fighting games will be delighted with tactical planning on the battlefield with taking advantageous positions, cunning maneuvers and direct conflict with players.

Do you know what makes this game mega-universal? An incredible number of modes that flexibly adapt to any composition. Duel fights, 2x2 team battles and crazy 3-4-person skirmishes, where everyone is on their own. There is even an overlord option - one villain against two players. If that is not enough, then please - a story campaign for 1-2 players and many cooperative scenarios. And if you mix the base with the continuation of the Ascension Tactics series: Inferno, you get almost endless variety!

You always start the game with a fairly weak basic deck of 10 cards. Gradually, you will acquire new cards with improved properties from the market: bonuses for champions, deck cleaning, card draw, resources and much more. There are only two resources in the game: runes, which are needed to buy new cards, and power, with which you activate champions or defeat monsters.

Having collected the required power on the cards in your hand, you can activate any number of your champions. Each of them performs only one move and attack action. By playing support cards, you can increase their movement, damage, and defense. If a champion is defeated, they leave the field, but when they are next activated, they will reappear at your portal location and continue the battle.

The objectives may vary from scenario to scenario, but most often you will earn glory for controlling shrines. Glory is awarded to the player with the most champions near the shrine. The most determined and fearless player - the first to reach the required number of glory points - is ascended to the gods and becomes the Grand Champion of Vigil!
