Reviews
5 star gameplay, 3 star UI

I’ve played mobile ascension off and on the past couple of years, and I think it’s unfortunate that an honestly good deck builder has a conspicuously sub-par UI. But give it a try! Core set is free and always has playability/replayability, if you want to spend then I recommend the bundle, and Darkness Unleashed is a lot of fun with the balance of card trashing abilities and the transformation mechanic...Vigil Rising, despite having the same mechanic, didn’t feel as fun to me, but maybe I just haven’t gotten the hang of it
BUG REPORT
Nastynash24
@Playdek/Asmodee Please fix this bug. During gameplay there is an infinite loop bug. When a player has control of Mechana Dream Vision “Order of the Gear” reward = turning all Mechana heros into constructs. Player then plays Mechana Hero “Scrapbook Scrapper” which allows them to return said hero as construct to their hand indefinitely for 2 attack points each time. Please revise rule or remove “Srapbook Scrapper” from the game. Thanks
Love this game!

Ascension really is a GREAT game! Love everything about it, and have been playing for years! Have many of the physical games and expansion packs! The app however could be improved, the bar at the bottom when sliding up to pay cards sometimes makes me exit the game and then I have to watch everyone’s play over again! Very touchy if you are playing on an iPhone and not an iPad. Also if you are playing online with friends there is no option to up the honor like there is when you play w the computer. 60 honor game are just too short and I wish they would implement allowing to up the honor to 120 when playing two player with friends. Other than that five star game, just tiny improvement to gameplay in app!
Great. Not without bugs.

The game itself is fun and I have been enjoying it literally for years (since before the asmode acquisition). Since asmode, it has become a bit buggy. Sometimes crashes on startup / initial login on my new iPad Pro, but almost always works after restart. Another minor annoyance is on iPhones with no home button, It’s very easy to swipe up and reset the game and start over your turns.
Cannot play Off Line mode

I’ve been playing this game for year and this is the first time I’ve had any problems. I usually play off line and after I select it the music continued to play but the game did not appear on the screen. How can I fix this issue?
A shadow of what it used to be

It took two years since the new publisher surprise-redesigned the game, but they finally fixed the UI issue that made you swipe your way back to the Home Screen whenever you played a card. It’s usable now, but it’s still a shadow of what it was before the redesign: tap areas are too small, it’s harder to drag/throw cards onto their intended targets, and the Notification Center often appears whenever I try getting a card from the top left. I still miss the old version.
Offline mode - unplayable
Just Press Play
Have been trying to boot up a couple games with AI, I can do 1 turn before the game crashes. Can’t even load up the game after crash and every single game since has dealt with the same error. Will update review when this is resolved
RAISE THE HONOR LIMIT
TriforceRuler
Love this game and app but the games are way too short with the limitations on max honor pool per game! Increase this please!
