There’s a grim stigma attached to the free-to-play moniker that seemingly paints any game foolish enough to hoist its colors as a second-class citizen. That sentiment might have carried degrees of credibility in the past, but a new wave of free-to-play titles have begun to surge, eroding away the lingering stain on the distribution model. Spearheading that effort on Xbox Live, Signal Studios’ action-RPG Ascend: Hand of Kul doesn’t so much prove that free-to-play games can be great, but that great games can be free-to-play.

IM PLAYIN takes a look at the free to play Xbox 360 game 'Ascend: Hand of Kul'
"When I first started playing Ascend I wasn’t sure what to expect of it. It is your typical hack and slash type of game, but a lot more chunky and choppy and somewhat lumbersome. It’s got all of the same features you would expect from a game of its sort, so it doesn’t really stand out there. And yet here I am, playing it a week down the line of downloading it (for free I might add). It’s a single player game in its beta stage, yet with multiplayer elements, consisting of player interaction via being a pain in the arse. More on that later though …"
looks like a fun hack/slash XBLA game. Cant beat the price.
Been having a lot of fun with this one. Though, my playtime has petered off this week. Trying to plow through GTAV campaign.
tons of cool gameplay elements. I'm definitely going to start playing a lot more when they add coop and PVP areas. Wondering when the BETA ends.
For a F2P game, I have been doing great without investing a penny. Though if I keep playing, I always end up investing a bit of cash. Free for me... not free for the developer. Gotta throw them a bone when it's deserved.
