About the Game



Following the destruction of her village and people by the Laust, Cyrah takes up the mantle of the Ancient Matriarchs to avenge her people. Harness the power of Essence in its multiple forms to scale the mountain and destroy the source corrupting the land in Cyrah’s Ascent.

In this 3D action combat game, channel ancient powers into several ranged spells and melee attacks to deal with several different enemies. Use your Essence-enhanced capabilities to jump and dash to the peak, traversing the snowy landscape riddled with crumbling remnants of a forgotten civilization. By destroying the source of their power, Cyrah hopes to bring peace to her ravaged homeland.



  • Face-paced melee and ranged combat, allowing the player to choose how they approach enemy encounters.
  • Dynamic ambient audio and music.
  • Immersive environments, ranging from ancient temples to frigid mountains.
  • An array of unique enemy types
  • Engaging traversal through caves, chasms, and decrepit architecture.
