Upon starting the game the player is introduced to the only other survivor of the village, Edom. Edom is the towns vendor who was out gathering herbs in the marshlands, as he is one of the finest alchemist in the land, at the time of the attack. Edom will explain to Yahrek that the library to the north has burned down as well and suggest that he should investigate the site, as well as other points of interests in the world. Edom has also agreed to supply Yahrek with different potions, for a price.
As Yahrek explores the world he will face different opponents such as goblins, thieves, and the undead. Through hack and slash melee combat, Yahrek must over come these enemies in order to gain enough experience to gain levels. Once enough enemies are defeated to gain a level the player gains two skill points to spend in the different stat trees, these being Strength, Agility, and Defense. Putting skill points into the Strength stat will increase the damage done to enemies as well as give a special attack and critical hit bonus. The Agility stat will increase the critical hit chance, increase attack speed, and give a sprint ability. Defense will grant Yahrek with more total hit points, a passive parry ability, and thorn skin where an attacking enemy will take damage when the deal damage.
Once the player feels they possess enough skill they may seek out the tricolps for the final battle.
When the tirclops is defeated Yahrek regains Heritage for a safe return to the village. At this point the player will have an option to start a New Game+ where Yahrek yields Heritage, and can try timed runs of the game with the more powerful weapon and all their stats from previous games.
Ascension will be an amazing game with many possible permutations depending on play style and how skill points are spent. Please feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions.
