About This Game

Choose When to Unleash Your Domain During Auto-Combat

All Night Ascension is a cultivation-themed backpack auto-battler built around a three-layer Bagua board. Collect cultivation methods, artifacts, and materials as you explore, then arrange them into an automated combat loop.

After reaching the Divinity realm and claiming a Domain, specific actions from your build begin charging it. The Domain waits for your command once it is ready. Each side can unleash one Domain per battle.

Opening first strengthens your combat loop and applies a suppression rule while your rival has no active Domain. Holding it lets you wait for an enemy power spike and disrupt their sequence with a rule change.

If your rival answers with a Domain, the battle enters a Domain clash. Both sides keep the rules that benefit their own board, while suppression effects against the opposing side cancel out. You must choose between securing an early advantage and keeping an answer for the enemy’s decisive move.

Domains can alter the flow of time, cap incoming damage, detonate Thunder, rewrite ammunition consumption, repair destroyed artifacts, or prevent defeat for a short period.

Build on a Three-Layer Bagua Board

The traditional square backpack is replaced by a circular Bagua board with 4, 8, and 24 slots across three rings.

• Inner Ring: 4 Cultivation Method Slots
Cultivation methods define the direction of your build. They change artifact triggers, elemental tendencies, and the pace of combat.

• Middle Ring: 8 Artifact Slots
Flying swords, spirit pets, cannons, puppets, and defensive relics cast during combat and form the main engine of your board.

• Outer Ring: 24 Material Slots
Ores, herbs, spiritual materials, and mechanical parts enhance artifacts, add new properties, or change how their effects trigger.

Adjacency, opposing positions, Bagua sectors, and cross-ring relationships all affect your build. Moving one artifact or replacing a connected method or material can change the entire combat loop.

Slots and Qi capacity limit what you can equip. You must divide your resources between core artifacts, support pieces, and future upgrades. You may also accept Qi overload, sacrificing maximum health to fit a more aggressive setup onto the board.

Create Automated Combat Loops

Artifacts cast according to their cooldowns and trigger conditions. Cultivation methods, materials, and board positions can reduce cooldowns, add extra casts, increase critical chance, or provide shields and other bonuses.

One artifact can trigger the next. Flying swords can chain attacks through Haste. Thunder can build toward repeated detonations. Cannons consume ammunition, while puppets trigger effects through destruction and repair.

You will keep adjusting the board as you move through events and shops. Keep an artifact that supports your current engine, sell a material you no longer need, strengthen your core, or pivot into another build before the next duel.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

The art and music assets in this game were created with the assistance of generative AI technology.

As a registered architect in my day job, I am used to using tools like CAD to aid my designs. In game development, AI plays the exact same role—it is a tool, but the soul of the design comes from the human creator. I do not allow any rough, unpolished assets into my game. Therefore, all AI-generated content has gone through my strict "manual inspection": rigorous prompt tuning, meticulous manual overpainting, and audio trimming. I carefully polish every visual and auditory "brick" to build the perfect cultivation world, pouring my true craftsmanship entirely into the core "Eight Trigrams Array" deck-building experience.
