Ascenders: Beyond the Peak - An exploration roguelite blending turn-based climbing and expedition management
Discover what lies beyond the peak!
THE ROPE IS YOUR LIFELINE
Your team is physically connected. The rope system creates unique positioning challenges and opportunities: secure allies, anchor climbs, pull a companion to safety, though one wrong move can turn rescue into catastrophe…
Choose between nine distinct classes, each shaped by the mountain.

SACRIFICE IS THE PRICE OF THE SUMMIT
Death is permanent. When the expedition collapses, you make the call: burn scarce resources, sacrifice a climber to save the rest of your team and decide who carries the weight forward.
Every expedition is a desperate attempt to reach the summit and return alive.

THE CLIMB STARTS BEFORE YOU LEAVE
Preparation is where you set yourself up for success, or failure. Before each expedition, develop and manage your HQ: unlock new rooms, technologies, characters, and long-term upgrades that shape what your team can endure.
ARTIFACTS CHANGE HANDS. THEY CAN ALSO CHANGE MINDS.
Artifacts recovered from successful climbs vary in size, value, and effect. The most powerful ones can reshape your entire team's synergies. Use them on the mountain and risk exposing your climbers to forces that leave lasting trauma, or trade them to rival factions.
Ascenders: Beyond the Peak is a turn-based exploration roguelite where survival is vertical. Lead a team of alpinists to recover ancient artifacts from cursed peaks, prepare your expedition, evolve your climbers, master rope mechanics, and face H.P. Lovecraft-inspired horrors within the mountain.
