Critic reviews
- Ascendance is a nostalgia-filled title that is not even worthy of borrowing the titular name of the franchise, let alone be the title that the fans waited decades for: it’s an unredeemable abomination.
- 6.0Legacy of Kain: Ascendance brings the beloved franchise back after over two decades as a flawed 2D experience reserved for fans of the franchise.
- 6.0Legacy of Kain: Ascendance captures the series’ gothic identity with a compelling narrative, strong performances, and striking pixel art, but struggles to maintain engagement due to repetitive combat
- The monkey's paw curls as a new Legacy of Kain game is finally upon us.
