The deck building RPG strategy game Ascension and Ascension Online could be heading to Android around the end of this year. Currently available as both a tabletop and iOS game, the developers are planning to start up a Kickstarter campaign with the goal being to bring both games to Android and Steam, with a release time of round the end of 2013.
For those of you unfamiliar with this game, Ascension takes place in Vigil where the Fallen One has begun terrorizing the lands with his army of evil minions. You are charged with going out onto the lands with your little band of militia and apprentices in order to recruit more fighters and hopefully building a powerful army which you will then use to destroy the Fallen One.

While the game features a solid single-player campaign that follows the above storyline, Ascension is also a full trading card combat game where players can battle against other people. There are also regular tournaments held in-game for prizes and, of course, bragging rights.
If you’re familiar with this game and want to see it arrive on Android, you will have your chance to toss your money at it on Kickstarter when the campaign goes live on February 18th, 2013. It will be a short campaign, lasting until the February 28, 2013 so you will only have ten days to help get Ascension funded and over to Android. If this does get released on Android, it will be free to download and play with optional booster packs of card available through in-game purchases.
