Have you ever wondered what it's like to stop the time? Ascend to ZERO is a time-control roguelike, in which you can use your special ability to stop the time itself and efficiently fight your way through the top. Freeze the time to dodge opponents' attacks using your unique ability, and always hold a higher ground for the combat. However, don't forget that the time allowed for you is confined.
