Ascension(宗门志) Rebuild Your Sect A cultivation 4X strategy game. It’s a strange new world out there. Travel far and wide, growing your sect into unfounded territories. Stop by cities you’ve never heard of. Explore mysterious and wondrous lands known to none. Face almighty beasts in battle. Anything is possible here, and each choice you make shifts the threads of your fate. Your sect escaped utter destruction, if barely. It’s time to build it back again. Establish a lineage, learn the way of heaven and earth, discover and craft incredible artifacts. Enlist the aid of outstanding cultivators, appoint the greatest among them to lofty positions and guide them—or leave them to their own devices. Danger lurks around every corner, yet with it comes opportunity. Myriad chances and challenges shall arrive as you expand into new lands. You can strive toward immortality, dedicating yourself to meditation and study, or cultivate with a band of friends, and seek to ascend together. Will you walk the path of righteousness, tyranny, or evil? Will you follow the way of heaven, or rebel against it? Only you can decide. Your sect shall grow strong once more. Yet as it does, peril looms, stirring restlessly in the shadows… Other sects, bizarre beasts, evil factions, and even demons have their beady eyes on your resources. It’s time to make your choice. Will you practice diplomacy, or let your blade do the talking? Whichever path you take, you must rekindle the glory of your sect.
