How many likes would a roguelike-like give if a roguelike-like could like roguelike-likes?

Ascendant, a randomly generated beat-em up where you wield powers most divine, is now on GOG.com for $8.49 (15% off the full price) until 9:59 AM GMT on 20 May 2014.

The gods may be crazy but they remain very deadly. As a demigod yourself, you'll be invading the realms of your pesky, pernicious rivals to take their power by force. You'll have a varied assortment of blessings that will spice up the fights. Blessings such as Serket's Venom, where you fill the screen with malicious poison, or the Flames of Agni, for those times when you really want to feel the burn! Besides, who doesn't love fire!?!?

With the permadeath and random generation of levels that are found in the classic roguelikes, melee combat with a healthy dose of awe-inspiring divine might thrown in, Ascendant offers a healthy challenge to the beat-em up connoisseur while pleasing the eye with its unique graphical style.

Become a demigod and cast "Fist!" (or the equivalent thereof!) at your rivals in Ascendant now on GOG.com for $8.49 (15% off the full price) until 9:59 AM GMT on 20 May 2014.

Reever: Well, if you can think of nothing else BUT THAT, you have some problems up there :P
Well, I haven't had time to play the dang game...until now that is :D
I had a lot of fun with other roguelike-likes such as Tower of Guns, Risk of Rain, and Rogue Legacy, so I'll definitely be picking this one up. I love action platformers. :)

There is definitely a resemblance, and that's because it was a direct inspiration. ;) It was a good show, but it's too bad that it ended abruptly and that there was never any closure (that I know of).
Hmmm, i love the roguelike-likes because it often incorporates a lot of different gameplay elements from different genres, well, at least lately in indie gaming and some AAA's. Ha, Im wondering though, how is this game? Is this a very good game or is it average? I cant exactly tell based on the trailers.
Well, this is interesting (or not) -- looks like the other store they are selling it on - they have a notice up saying they have drm free copy for sale now via their website and IGS...nothing about GOG. Hmmmm!!!
Definitely added this to my wishlist.
Looks fairly good. I'll throw it on the wishlist.
Just watched a WTF, I feel like I should buy it. I like my action platformers
This looks pretty good, I've added it to my wishlist.
