Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is still in development, with just over the first half complete and playable (5 out of 9 realms). As this continues to be developed, feedback on the direction, balance, and overall design is invaluable. Early access lets us bring the community along on this journey, to allow the game to reach its fullest potential.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Until the ninth realm is complete, and the game can be played from start to end. We roughly estimate this will take two years at current development pace.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to provide all nine realms from mundane to ascension. At this point, we believe we can say it is no longer 'early access', but that does not mean the development will cease. We fully intend to keep on building out the game with new content and systems even after the full version is released.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable for the first five realms, which comes out to 20+ hours of content (or 50+ if trying to explore every corner of the game). That is almost 300 individual techniques, 60+ crafting actions, dozens of characters to interact with. A whole world to dive into and explore.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Price will not change when we leave early access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We always listen to feedback on the game state as it develops, and such feedback has already caused many changes and shifts in direction. That will be through all channels of talk about the game, from the Discord, to the Steam discussion pages, to Reddit, and more. Additionally, the analytics collected from players about the techniques they use, the content they engage the most with, and other such gameplay data will help with balancing underperforming abilities, focused reworking of the content that is least played, and general course correcting if changes cause a reduction in player enjoyment.”

About This Game

The heavens call. Will you answer?

Ascend from Nine Mountains throws you into a world where the impossible becomes inevitable. Where mortals shatter their limits and the heavens tremble before those bold enough to seize their own fate. Experience your metamorphosis from dust to divinity.

Begin as a mortal. Ascend through nine realms of power, each more profound than the last.

Feel your meridians burn as celestial energy floods through them for the first time. Watch reality bend as you form your spiritual core. From opening your first meridian to commanding the very forces of creation, every breakthrough transforms both body and soul in ways you never imagined possible.

Your choices shape your destiny. The cultivation path you follow determines which ancient techniques respond to your call, which legendary treasures deem you worthy, and ultimately, which form of immortality lies within your grasp. Some cultivators fall at their first tribulation. Others stagnate for centuries. But you? You'll face threats that could annihilate mountains and emerge even stronger.

How far will you climb?

Combat is poetry written in blood and lightning.

Turn-based battles become tactical puzzles where every decision matters. Switch stances to adapt your strategy. Chain techniques into devastating combos. Each of the six schools offers a completely different approach to combat, with unique mechanics and playstyles that reward mastery.

  • Fist School: Your body becomes the ultimate weapon. Every punch cracks reality

  • Weapon School: Steel sings with spiritual power in your hands

  • Cloud School: Command storms that heroes of old could only dream of

  • Celestial School: Balance light and shadow, creation and destruction

  • Blossom School: Beauty and death intertwined in nature's most elegant fury

  • Blood School: Embrace corruption, and the unstoppable power that comes with it

Mix and match techniques from different schools, or discover new and hidden styles. Forge synergies that elevate each strike high above the last. Create a fighting style that's uniquely yours.​

Crafting is an art form where risk and reward dance on a knife's edge.

Every session challenges you to balance stability against ambition. Push for that perfect quality result, but reach too far and watch your creation crumble to dust. Each crafting technique you master opens new possibilities, and combining them in unexpected ways can yield miraculous results.

Forge weapons that thirst for battle. Brew pills that raise your strength to unassailable heights. Inscribe talismans that bend the laws of nature. Your creations become extensions of your cultivation path, each one potentially the key to your next breakthrough.

The difference between a master craftsman and a mere artisan? Knowing when to play it safe, and when to risk everything for perfection.

The world of the Nine Mountains lives and breathes around you.

Explore ancient sect fortresses carved into mountain peaks. Trade in bustling cultivation cities where pills and treasures change hands for astronomical sums. Delve into ruins where demonic beasts guard treasures from forgotten ages. Each location offers unique opportunities, resources, and challenges that evolve with the passing seasons.

Time matters here. Yearly festivals celebrate new beginnings with cultivation tournaments after overcoming the beast tides that test every cultivator's mettle. Autumn auctions see legendary items sold to the highest bidder. Every season brings new challenges that separate the weak from the strong.

Join the Nine Mountain sect and rise through its ranks. Build relationships with merchants, scholars, and warriors. Make enemies of rival cultivators who covet your treasures. This world doesn't pause for anyone. Opportunities come and go, and timing can mean the difference between glory and obscurity.

In the world of cultivation, relationships hold power beyond measure.

Form sworn brotherhoods with fellow cultivators and share breakthrough insights. Romance companions whose presence strengthens your dao heart. Find a cultivation partner whose techniques complement yours perfectly, unlocking abilities neither could achieve alone.

Choose your allies carefully. In this world, the bonds you forge are as important as the power you cultivate.

---

Step onto the path of cultivation. Master ancient techniques, forge legendary treasures, and build lasting bonds as you climb from mortality to divinity.

Ascend from Nine Mountains awaits. Your journey to immortality begins now.
