Ascendant is now available on Steam, offering a hardcore side-scrolling brawler for Windows, Linux, and OS X. Here's word:

At its core, Ascendant is a stunningly beautiful and insanely hard side-scrolling brawler! Created with a passion for beautiful art styles and fluid engaging mechanics, the game introduces players to a brand new world each time they play. Using modern rogue like elements such as permadeath and procedurally generated environments, you play the role of a demigod who invades a plane controlled by your rivals. They will stop at nothing to eliminate you, and only the best of warriors will triumph over their armies of zealots and beasts.
