I tried getting into Magic: The Gathering many times, but what always put me off was the sheer number of cards that the game has and the fact that I have to constantly buy, change, and collect them. I'm not someone who enjoys collecting things, so that aspect has never appealed to me. The same goes for Yu-Gi-Oh!, although it at least has some excellent digital adaptations, so I never even bothered trying the physical game. That's exactly why I like Ascension more. You buy a single box and immediately have access to every card in that set, no need to buy booster packs or separate expensive cards. And if you whant more you can buy an addon witch contanes another full set of cards. Moreover, many add-ons are standalone, so you don’t have to buy all of them to get the full experience. The Steam version is even better, as it includes almost every add-on (except the two most recent ones, 'Curse of the Golden Isles' and 'Skulls & Sails'). Since the game doesn't rely on collecting cards, you build your deck during each match instead. On the one hand, that's a huge advantage: you can jump right in and start having fun without spending time or money looking for cards. On the other hand, it's not uncommon for the game to end just as your deck finally starts working exactly the way you wanted, simply because the Honor pool has run out. Ascension is also much easier to learn. There aren't a bunch of different phases like in Magic or Yu-Gi-Oh!. Players take turns and play everything they can. That's another reason I enjoy it more. It's faster, more dynamic, and much more approachable for newcomers. It's one of those games that perfectly fits the saying: 'Easy to Learn, Hard to Master.' One downside I'd point out is the Honor scoring system. Almost every card is worth Honor points, which are added to your total at the end of the game. During the match, however, the game doesn't show your total score. As a result, you never really know how many points you have unless you keep track of them yourself. Personally, I'm not a fan of this system. Sometimes I find myself taking a card simply because it's worth a lot of Honor and I don't want my opponent to get it, rather than because it actually improves my deck. In that aspect, I prefer Magic: The Gathering's life system. Even though I'm not a big fan of tabletop or card games in general, I'd happily buy a physical copy of Ascension becouse I can ignore the Honor points on the cards during the final scoring, and I can increase the size of the Honor pool so games last longer and give me more time to develop my deck. I also can keep some cards in my hand at the end of the turn and only draw enough cards from the deck to refill my hand. This would give my more chances to build powerful combos and reduce the reliance on RNG. Unfortunately, only the base game is available where I live, without the 'Return of the Fallen' add-on or the promo packs. More importantly, I simply don't have anyone to play it with. Overall, I can defenetly recommend this game to anyone who wants to enjoy a card game without any extra hassle. Every card is available from the start, and the depth comes from the decisions you make during each game.
Very addicting deck building game that has all the mechanics you expect, trashing common cards in favor of more powerful ones, the ability to go infinite is there too. There seems to be a very wide variety of ways to win. Very creative abilities for the cards give each session a unique and engaging experience.
My playtime speaks for itself. I find it to be an enjoyable form of solitaire. It's similar enough to MTG that it scratches that particular itch, but does so without the need to constantly buy newer and more and better cards. It's a goal for me to get to the point where I have enormous resources and can take more turns on an infinite loop. The game always crashes before I can make it through the whole deck and claim every single card, though.
Ascension: Deckbuilding Game is an enjoyable deckbuilding game with mechanics that are easy to understand and simple to get into. However, the biggest issue is that the online mode is basically dead due to the very low player count. Playing offline against the AI is still fun, and that is where I spent most of my time with the game. Unfortunately, the AI has one major problem: sometimes it seems to get stuck “thinking” for far too long. An AI turn can occasionally take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes, and at that point the only real option is to quit and start a new match, because waiting that long for a single AI turn is simply unreasonable. Overall, Ascension: Deckbuilding Game is a fun and accessible deckbuilding experience, especially for offline play, but the dead online mode and occasional AI turn bug hold it back.
