Ascent of Ashes Publisher Camlann Games Introduces Its In-House Title
Blinding neon lights. Twisting wires hooked to dozens of blinking screens. Bribery, pillaging, hacking. Welcome to Ataxia. Publisher Camlann Games is proud to unveil its very first in-house title, a 4x turn-based strategy game set in a brutal cyberpunk world. Ataxia on Steam invites players to take control of one of six rival gangs in the city of Technograd, where ascending to the top is the ultimate goal.
Choose Your Gang and Rise to Power
In Ataxia, players are tasked with climbing their way to the top of the food chain to become the ultimate leader of Technograd. At the beginning of each game, players must carefully select one of six gangs, each with its own unique advantages and disadvantages. The gangs include:
- Acore 1337: A faction of young cybercriminals born connected to the network, proficient in hacking and digital subterfuge.
- XYSurgeons: Former corporate medical care professionals turned freelance cybersurgeons, well-versed in both healing and harm.
- Sobeki Corp: The powerful and rich corporate juggernaut with access to advanced technology and vast resources.
Mastering the strengths and weaknesses of these distinct factions is key to gaining a foothold in the city and eventually dominating it entirely.
Outwit and Outfight Your Rivals
To turn the tide during combat, players have the opportunity to equip and upgrade their gang leaders with new weapons, armor, and cybernetic implants. These leaders, along with their army of thugs, engage in individual battles throughout the city. However, brute force alone won’t secure victory. Players must also engage in various illicit activities, such as hits, espionage, money laundering, and arms deals, to further increase their power and influence.
Unleash Your Ruthless Instincts
Ataxia requires players to set aside their ideals and embrace a ruthless mindset. The path to success is paved with moral compromises. Whether it’s carrying out assassinations, conducting espionage operations, extorting rivals, or resorting to hacking, players must be willing to do whatever it takes to ascend to the top.
Gangs with Unique Abilities
Each gang possesses special abilities and global powers that set them apart from one another. Understanding and exploiting these unique traits will be critical to gaining an edge over opponents.
Arm Your Leader, Rule the City
The gang leader plays a pivotal role in Ataxia. Players can customize their leaders with various weapons, armor, and cybernetic implants, making them formidable forces on the battlefield. This level of personalization adds depth and complexity to the gameplay.
Take Control of the City
Securing strategic locations is vital in Technograd. Players can build or buy out buildings in specific sectors to gain combat or economic advantages. The city’s sectors become contested territories, and players must strategically manage their resources and influence to expand their dominion.
The Cybernetic Battlefield
In the dystopian landscape of Technograd, hacking and counter-hacking are common occurrences. Players must master the art of infiltrating enemy networks to gain crucial advantages. Alternatively, they must bolster their own defenses to protect their operations from rival hackers.
