Flyway Games, a creative studio under the Krafton umbrella, has officially launched its new action roguelike, Ascend to Zero, to the global market on July 13 at 4:00 PM. The title is now live, opening its doors to players across the globe on various platforms.

You can play Ascend to Zero on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox Cloud Gaming, ROG Ally, and Steam. In a move that will surely please the thrifty among us, the game has joined the Xbox Game Pass Day 1 lineup, meaning subscribers can dive straight into the action without shelling out for an individual purchase.

The core hook here is the ability to freeze time mid-combat. Players must master this time-stopping mechanic to fend off waves of foes, experimenting with various builds and combat styles as they progress. The domestic price is set at 13,000 won.

Alongside the launch, the developer released a Supporter Pack DLC featuring golden skins for six avatars, plus the official soundtrack for those who enjoy the game's score. For those who want the full package, a Deluxe Edition is available, bundling the base game and all DLC at a discounted price.

Early impressions suggest the studio has struck a chord. As of 10:00 AM on the 14th, Ascend to Zero holds a 'Very Positive' (95% positive) rating on Steam. Fans are singing its praises, with comments like "The demo was so good I bought the full game immediately," "Great satisfaction in building and combat," "The pacing and impact are spot on," "There's a thrill in watching levels skyrocket into the thousands," and "Plenty of content for the price."
