Evercore Heroes: Ascension

Evercore Heroes: Ascension is a co-op-first hero roguelite for one to three players. Battle relentless enemies, forge the ultimate build, and defend the Evercore in the perilous world of Lumerea. As a Luum Sentinel, you are one of the last heroes standing against Fate's Blade, a sinister force seeking to corrupt Lumerea's magic. The Evercore—source of balance and life—has been shattered, and only by recovering its fragments can you restore order before chaos takes hold. Each run is a high-stakes gauntlet of enemies, strategy, and role mastery. Whether you fight solo or with a team, every mission is a new challenge—fall, rise stronger, and protect the Evercore!

A Co-Op Roguelike Like No Other: Designed for teamwork, but playable solo, every mission tests your skill, coordination, and adaptability. Play your role, cover your allies, and overcome impossible odds together.
Dynamic Missions & Endless Replayability: Launch from Castle Everae into procedural missions packed with devious monsters, rewarding challenges, and intense boss fights—all wrapped into tight, 30-minute adventures.
A Roster of Unique Class-Based Heroes: Unlock and refine half a dozen Heroes, each with unique, powerful abilities, playstyles, and personality. Choose from Tank, Damage, and Support, then reshape your role and experiment with powerful new builds. More heroes are planned for release during Early Access.
Deep Layered Progression: Progress persists. Unlock new Heroes to expand your roster and earn permanent Core Powers to strengthen your heroes to push further with every run.
Progress earned in the demo will carry over to Early Access!
A Living Science-Fantasy World: Journey through Lumerea, starting with the frozen peaks and underground mines of Kru Uncover the adventures of this beautiful but perilous world.
