Release Date: November 24, 1999
Ultima IX: Ascension is a classic cRPG game created under the responsibility of the Origin Systems development team. The plot continues with themes from Ultima VIII: Pagan. The player learns about Avatar's struggle with the Guardian and his supporters. Contrary to earlier versions of the series, the creators decided to use a modern 3D graphic engine presenting the action from the third person's perspective (TPP).
Ninth game about Avatar summoned to fight Guardian. New game engine not only is improved, but also completely changed. No more isometric view to which we are used since Ultima VI. This time the game has third-person perspective.
It is a rather strange move by the developer if you take into account the fact that Ultimas were the first to utilize isometric view that in Ultima VII was perfectly made, and then games like Diablo and Baldur’s Gate followed in its footsteps. It appears that Origin still aims to be a trail blazer.
