Trials of Ascension: Combat Demo Video Released

The Trials of Ascension team has sent word that it has posted a brand new video. In it, fans get a good look at the game via a combat demo utilizing what is called the "multi-motion action system". Developers also give fans an update on the progress being made in the technical demo being prepared.


  • Multi-motion Action: Depending on the way that a user moves their mouse while inputting an attack, the direction of the swing and the motion changes, allowing for a fluid, natural, and multi-combination combat system

  • Dual Wielding: Players control each of their arms individually by use the left and right mouse buttons, respectively.

  • Blocking: Players can double click to block and change the direction of the block by the direction they are looking

  • Dodging: Players are able to double tap the W, A, S, or D keys to dodge attacks

Trial of Ascension’s combat design is based on the very simple idea of you swinging, shooting, throwing, or defending in the direction you are aiming by using the left mouse button to control one arm and the right mouse button to control the other arm. There will be no locking onto a target by clicking on/tabbing to it. Depending on the motion that players use while attacking, the motion for their attack changes. Players can double click to block.

    Ah its a good idea.. will be good to see how they develop it really..

    Hopefully they will be adding a lot more movement into the combat and speed things up a bit.

    Looks like a pretty awesome concept behind combat. I'm glad to see a system where SKILL with the mouse is what trumps your opponent instead of who has the better gear/who can spam buttons faster.

    That was pretty horrible. I'd ask for those 7 minutes of my life back, but I'd probably waste them on failblog or something.

    The early 2000's called and asked for their graphics back. Also next time make sure your demo pc can handle your "game" with no fps lag.

    Come on folks, give em a break.  This is pre alpha here.  Do you expect an indie company at pre-alpha to have prim and polished videos of proof of concept?  I think they are doing a great job showing what they intended to show.  No the graphics aren't perfect and the characters all look the same.  So what?  The important thing is they are sharing what they have accomplished. Try getting that information from a lot of MMOs out there today! Cheers FC! Good video.
