Savant: Ascent lies in that style of game that I would call the “Robotron shooter”. For those who don’t remember Robotron: 2084, this two-dimensional shooter involves shooting dozens and dozens of evil robots that came in increasingly larger waves. You can move freely around the space provided, but touching an enemy or enemy shot will cause instant death. In that sense, there’s no way to “win” Robotron – only to gain a high score that’s higher than anyone else by pure survival skills and familiarity with its mechanical depths.
