It is designed to bring a co-operative team based nature to the core gameplay. Multi PlayerĬompetetive team multiplayer is the significant new component of God of War: Ascension, and the first multiplayer featured in the series. These weapons have their own combo chains and unique attacks. While previous games allows Kratos to use only specific weapons, some picked up from boss encounters, Ascension allows the player to pick up weapons dropped by any enemy. He can do so along a progression where partial reconstruction allows him to climb up floating girders and total reconstruction allows him to go up a now-functioning elevator. He can set an area of influence and reconstruct a destroyed platform. Kratos can manipulate objects in time with the Amulet of Uroborus. Unlike previous games, the foes now have a edged bar above their heads to indicate stagger rather than a giant (circle) floating. As with other God of War titles, players can stagger foes and enact finishers, such as ripping an enemy's head off. New to the franchise are finishers with subtle prompts, dynamic time powers, and enemy weapon pick-ups.
During this section, Kratos has his traditional blade attacks, grapple attacks that draw him toward enemies, and enemy finishers. Kratos does wield chain blades and has his skin whitened by his family's ashes.
