Four Distinct Heroes
Blood Mage, Guardian, Berserker, and Trickster: four heroes with distinct archetypes and completely different ways to play.
Earn It Once, Keep It Forever
Every card and piece of equipment you earn joins your collection and unlocks for future climbs. Each climb makes the next one stronger.
Branching Climb, Rising Stakes
Make your way up a branching map of encounters, shops, campfires, events, and bosses across several areas. Rule-changing Affixes make every step more dangerous.
Global Leaderboards
Compete on global and per-hero online leaderboards. Chase the top ranks, or chase a personal best and prove yourself.
Full Controller Support
Play with keyboard and mouse or a controller, whichever you prefer. The Final Ascent is built for 1080p and larger displays. It also runs on Steam Deck, though its PC-first UI sits a little small on the Deck's screen.
Choose Your Hero
Four heroes. Four ways to climb.
Each hero plays completely differently. Master one, master them all, and chase a spot on the per-hero leaderboards.

Blood Mage
Powerful attacks, card draw, and energy gain, all paid for in your own HP. Apply bleeds, drain life back, and fight on the edge of power and survival.
