ENGINE

PLATFORM
PC, Oculus Rift
GAME SUMMARY
An often-funny, real-time, first-person, action/strategy game filled with too many dashes-and/or-slashes, where the player conjures spells, ascends to the top of a magic mountain and banishes the boss protecting it. You’ll be able to enjoy Ascent of a Wizard on your favorite console or your powerful PC, and it also works in virtual reality.
Ascent of a Wizard is a medieval-fantasy game set squarely in Middle-Uranus. While you might think this is an uncomfortable fit (a medieval-fantasy set on another planet) you will appreciate the variety it allows. For example, you will see traditional fantasy creatures along with alien variations like Space Orcs (Sporcs) and the Intergalactic Network of Trolls (Internet Trolls). Middle-Uranus is also overrun by marauding bands of parentheses (which are silent but deadly).

GAME SUMMARY
In the Awakening mission, Stone and Turk manage to arrive at the cryostasis section of the Sulaco, where they find Rebecca “Newt” Jorden, Ellen Ripley and Dwayne Hicks sleeping. While waking, Corporal Hicks watches a facehugger already attached to Ripley’s face. Three Weyland-Yutani PMCs enter the area and during the fight one of the corporates fires his weapon and grazes Ripley’s face-hugger, which bursts acidic blood that burns both her cryotube and the floor, causing an electrical fire and activating the ship’s alarm.
During the alarm Turk is knocked unconscious by one of the PMCs, who throws him inside Hicks’s cryotube. It closes immediately and is ejected out of cryostasis by the ship’s computer, along with Newt and Ripley’s cryotubes, sending them to Fury 161 inside an EEV. After killing the remaining PMCs and fighting several xenomorphs inside the vessel, Stone and Hicks escape the Sulaco using a service skiff craft and set course to Fury 161 to rescue Turk, Newt and Ripley, taking them two days to finally arrive.
