The Ascent features a deep ARPG progression system. Players level up to earn Skill Points, which are invested into attributes like Tactical Sense, Weapon Handling, Aiming, and Evasion. The game's defining feature is its 'Cyberware' system. Players can install active augmentations (such as launching a barrage of homing missiles or summoning an explosive spider mech) and passive modules (like increasing maximum health or adding dodge-roll evasion). Additionally, the 'Cyberdeck' acts as a hacking tool that players must continually upgrade to slice open high-level corporate doors, ATMs, and hostile automated turrets.

Progression integrates tactical squad roles with deep train workshop customization. Players select one of four core operative classes: the Engineer (specializing in train repair, deployable sentry turrets, and reinforcement reinforcement), the Vanguard (a heavy weapons specialist equipped with riot shields and devastating close-range shotguns), the Scout (an agile scavenger with tactical tracking darts, night-vision overcharge, and long-range DMRs), and the Medic (deploying stimm-injectors, portable UV light purifiers, and revives). Outside of character skill trees, the train serves as a mobile base: players collect scrap, titanium plates, and electrical components to upgrade carriage armor, mount roof-mounted autocannons, install automated medical bays, and enhance the train engine's top cruising speed.

Veles is designed vertically, separated into distinct 'Tiers' that represent the socio-economic status of its inhabitants. 'The Warrens' and 'Deepstink' are the lowest tiers, characterized by claustrophobic slums, raw sewage, and heavy industrial machinery. The mid-tiers feature bustling commercial hubs, neon-soaked nightclubs, and dense residential blocks. The absolute pinnacle, 'The Pinnacle', is where the corporate elite reside in clean, opulent, sunlit luxury. Exploring the map involves seamlessly riding massive elevators and traversing open urban battlegrounds filled with countless interactive NPCs, alien races, and destructible cover.

The game's dynamic world spans vast transcontinental rail lines divided into hazardous railway corridors and off-train exploration zones. Major regions include the Rust Belt Deadlands (an industrial wasteland of derailed freight cars, crumbling factories, and toxic slag basins), the Black Ridge Alpine Tunnel (a claustrophobic mountain pass infested with ceiling-crawling arachnid abominations and blocked by rockslides), the Submerged Metropolis of New Eden (a flooded cityscape where tracks run along crumbling highway viaducts and high-rise rooftops), and the Frozen Tunguska Crater (a frigid, snow-swept impact zone housing experimental deep-underground research bunkers and ancient anomalies).

The Ascent features both single-player and up to 4-player cooperative multiplayer. Uniquely for a modern game, it fully supports 'couch co-op' (local multiplayer on a shared screen) as well as online co-op. Playing with a squad fundamentally changes the combat dynamic, allowing players to synergize their cyberware—such as one player acting as a heavy tank with energy shields while others use sniper rifles and hacking abilities to control the battlefield. Enemy health and spawns scale dynamically based on the player count.

NightRunner centers on cooperative PvE gameplay for 1 to 4 players. Modes include the core 'Transcontinental Run' (a multi-hour expedition where players pick routes, defend their linked personal wagons, and scavenge stops along the way), 'Dungeon Infiltration' (linear off-train squad raids into deep underground bunkers and missile silos without the train, featuring complex environmental puzzles and massive boss monstrosities), and 'Endless Rail Defense' (a wave-based horde survival mode where the train is stationary in a ruined depot while players withstand infinite nocturnal assault waves).

The Ascent launched on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S (including Day One on Xbox Game Pass) on July 29, 2021, and later expanded to PS4 and PS5. The base game is sold standalone, but Curve Games also released the 'Cyber Edition' bundle, which packages the base game with the 'Cyber Heist' story DLC and several cosmetic/weapon packs, including the 'Cyber Warrior Pack' and the 'CyberSec Pack'. These premium packs offer unique Samurai-inspired armor sets, animated weapon skins, and tactical grenades.

NightRunner is scheduled to launch on PC via Steam with two primary tiers: The Standard Edition ($34.99 USD) includes the full base game, all launch railway routes, cooperative matchmaking, and access to all future free episodic updates. The Conductor Supporter Edition ($49.99 USD) includes the base game, exclusive cosmetic locomotive skins (such as the 'Black Iron Vanguard' diesel engine and ornate gilded carriage plating), unique character operator uniforms, a digital orchestral horror soundtrack composed by German dark-synth artists, and an interactive digital survivalist field manual detailing enemy weak points and railway blueprints.

Neon Giant provided excellent post-launch support. The major expansion, 'Cyber Heist' (released August 2022), takes place immediately after the main campaign. It introduces new overworld locations, new main and side missions, and highly requested melee weapons like the Rock Crusher and Guillotine. Additionally, several cosmetic DLCs ('CyberSec Pack', 'Cyber Warrior Pack') were added, alongside free game updates that introduced a highly requested Transmogrification system (allowing players to change their armor's appearance without losing stats) and a New Game+ mode.

The development roadmap outlined by 314 Arts focuses on community feedback gathered from the October 2026 Steam Playtests. Post-launch plans include episodic campaign expansions featuring new railway routes across Europe and North America, player-versus-environment (PvE) seasonal survival leagues with escalating mutators, community-created custom carriage and scenario workshop integration, and hardcore 'Iron Man' extraction modes where lost carriages permanently deplete squad resources.

  A: No. While you do collect armor and weapons, it is a traditional ARPG. Weapons have fixed stats (which you can upgrade), meaning you aren't constantly grinding for randomized 'God Rolls'.
• Q: Is there a New Game Plus mode?
  A: Yes. A post-launch update added NG+, allowing you to restart the campaign with all your high-level gear and cyberware against significantly tougher enemies.
• Q: Do I have to play the DLC?
  A: The 'Cyber Heist' DLC is entirely optional but provides an extended endgame story, new locations, and highly requested melee weapons that change the combat dynamic.

• Q: What is NightRunner?
  A: NightRunner is an intense 1-4 player cooperative first-person horde survival extraction shooter developed by 314 Arts, blending train defense, deep dungeon exploration, and extraction mechanics.
• Q: How does the train mechanic work?
  A: Players hook up custom carriages to form an armored train, choose roles, and travel through a dark wasteland. During tactical stops, players enter scavenging areas to find weapons, resources, and upgrades while defending the train.
• Q: What happens if a carriage is destroyed?
  A: Losing a carriage does not immediately end the run. The squad can fall back to the next carriage, seal the bulkhead doors, and continue defending until reaching the final extraction depot.
• Q: Can NightRunner be played solo?
  A: Yes, NightRunner fully supports solo play with dynamically scaling horde sizes and AI support systems, as well as 1-4 player online co-op.
• Q: When is the game releasing and how can I play?
  A: NightRunner is scheduled for release on PC via Steam in 2027, with public Steam Playtests commencing in October 2026.

Despite being developed by an incredibly small indie team of 11 people at Neon Giant, The Ascent boasts 'AAA' visual fidelity. The game is played from a classic isometric perspective, but the camera seamlessly shifts and pans to showcase the breathtaking scale of the arcology. The environmental detail is staggering, with hundreds of physics objects, volumetric smoke, and neon signs reflecting in rain-slicked puddles. The implementation of Ray Traced reflections and shadows on PC is considered some of the best in the industry, making the grimy, futuristic city look hyper-realistic.

Utilizing Unity's High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP), NightRunner showcases exceptional dark sci-fi visual realism. Volumetric darkness, pierced only by harsh locomotive searchlights, emergency red flare sticks, and muzzle flashes, creates intense atmospheric contrast. High-resolution PBR textures highlight peeling paint, rust, and bloodstains along carriage walls, while realistic fluid gore and dismemberment physics give every ballistic impact visceral weight.

The auditory experience is a standout feature, headlined by a pulsating, heavy synthwave soundtrack composed by Paweł Błaszczak (known for his work on Dying Light and The Witcher). The music dynamically shifts from brooding, atmospheric synthesizer hums during exploration to aggressive, high-tempo club beats during massive firefights. The weapon sound design is incredibly punchy, and the diverse alien languages spoken by the ambient crowds make the arcology feel like a true melting pot.

Sound design in NightRunner is engineered to elicit dread and claustrophobia. The mechanical rhythm of steel wheels screeching along iron tracks, hissing steam pressure valves, and the distant, gut-wrenching roars of mutant packs echoing across desolate canyons build unrelenting atmosphere. The musical score blends dark ambient industrial soundscapes with pounding, adrenaline-pumping synth-wave and heavy distorted percussion during horde breaches. Dynamic audio ray-tracing allows players to accurately pinpoint mutant footsteps skittering across carriage roofs.

The UI embraces the cyberpunk aesthetic with sleek, red-and-cyan holographic menus. In combat, the HUD displays a health bar, energy meter (for augmentations), and a tactical charge meter. One of the best UI features is the 'Waypoint' system; pressing a button projects a glowing digital line on the ground guiding the player to their next objective, seamlessly integrating navigation into the world without cluttering the screen with permanent mini-maps.

The game features a minimalist, immersive diegetic HUD designed to heighten tension. Weapon ammunition counters are displayed directly on weapon magazines or holographic tactical wrist-displays. The train cab features an authentic mechanical instrument panel indicating boiler pressure, carriage structural integrity gauges, route elevation graphs, and track switch signals. Squad health, carriage breach alerts, and extraction timers are cleanly anchored to peripheral viewport corners to preserve situational awareness in pitch-black environments.

The game offers standard accessibility settings including text scaling, subtitle backgrounds, and UI color adjustments. It also includes highly customizable aim-assist settings, which is incredibly helpful for players using gamepads in a fast-paced twin-stick shooter. Difficulty can be adjusted at any time, allowing players to scale back enemy damage if a particular boss fight proves too punishing.

314 Arts has implemented a wide array of accessibility settings: full key-rebinding for mouse, keyboard, and gamepads; adjustable stick deadzones and aim acceleration; an arachnophobia / insectoid creature filter mode; scalable subtitles with directional speaker identifiers; independent sliders for camera bobbing, screenshake, and motion blur; and three comprehensive colorblind presets (Protanopia, Deuteranopia, Tritanopia) that clearly highlight friendly turrets, carriage damage indicators, and interactable loot crates.
