Here is some Awesome News!!!! More info at: http://www.ascensiongame.com/news-archive/item/gary-games-and-incinerator-studios-bring-ascension-to-the-app-store-for-ipad-iphone-and-ipod-touch Cheers!
Wow ... that's huge news. This looks like it could be "the one" deck-building game I've been searching for. I swear, every week I'm reminded of why it's such a great time to be an iOS gamer.
They are planning on having Asynchronous Multiplayer, and it will be priced at $4.99. You can get a better idea of the game at BoardGameGeeks.com http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/69789/ascension-chronicle-of-the-godslayer and by viewing this video in the post below...
Looks good. Would you say Ascension is aimed more at beginners or is it suitable for more experienced players?
Should be out soon, unless the release date been put back for some reason. There has been next to no hype surrounding this; I guess everyone is looking in the direction of Orions 2 instead.
Where are you guys getting this "soon" stuff? I'd love for this game to hit asap, but I haven't seen a thing from Gary Games or Incinerator Studios for a long while now. People asking on the Ascension forums don't get an answer and there is nothing new on the boardgamegeek thread. What source of news ( aside from the note about May in the press release several months back ) is suggesting this will drop in the next 1-2 weeks?
I've been requesting an update from GG and so far have not received a reply. Here would be the best place to get news from GG IMO. http://www.facebook.com/AscensionGame I sure would like to know whats up....
It doesn't bode well that they can't even be bothered to post replies to customer questions about when this is going to be released. If they have a release date, then they should respond to customers; even if it's just to say, "we have a date but we're not telling yet!". If they don't have a release date, then they should just say so. I just don't understand it when developers remain silent. It's unprofessional and there is no need for it. Communicate with your customers! The fact that GG have not responded (to my knowledge) to any queries about the release date for Ascension for iOS, is duly noted. (By me at least).
Updated to *June* release. Source within blog entry here: http://boardgamegeek.com/blogpost/2445/news-bits-siegecraft-in-development-ascension-rele
