Astral Ascent (v2.0.0 & 4 DLCS)

Astral Ascent is a vibrant 2D roguelite platformer set within a modern fantasy world, where players take on the role of one of four distinct heroes trapped inside The Garden, an astral prison guarded by twelve formidable bosses known as the Zodiacs. Each character offers a unique playstyle, from Ayla’s swift assassin tactics with dual blades to Kiran’s brute strength that unleashes powerful shockwaves, Calie’s magical gemstone attacks, and Octave’s versatile ethereal weaponry. As you navigate through four beautifully crafted worlds filled with diverse environments and fluid, hand-drawn animations, your goal is to escape The Garden by overcoming its increasingly difficult challenges. Gameplay in Astral Ascent emphasizes adaptability and progression, allowing players to unlock and customize a wide range of spells and builds tailored to their preferred combat style. Every run tests your reflexes and strategic thinking as you grow stronger to face the distinct attacks and backstories of the Zodiac bosses. The game also weaves narrative elements into its roguelite structure, gradually revealing more about the characters, their motivations, and the mysteries of the world with each attempt. For those seeking cooperative play, Astral Ascent supports local co-op as well as online multiplayer through Steam’s Remote Play Together, letting you team up with a friend to tackle the astral prison’s dangers side by side.
