About This Game

Astral Ascent is a 2D platformer roguelite game set in a modern fantasy world. As one of 4 Heroes with very different personalities, you must escape from The Garden, an astral prison guarded by 12 powerful and vicious bosses, the Zodiacs.

CREATE YOUR OWN PLAYSTYLE

Unlock dozens of unique spells for each or your characters. Optimize your own build or try out new ones to face all the challenges you'll find on your journey for freedom. Get progressively stronger with time to match up with your foes. Each run will test your skills and your reactivity.

TWELVE ALMIGHTY BOSSES TO FACE

The Zodiacs are 12 experienced guardians dispatched over 4 gorgeous worlds. Each with their own unique attacks and combat styles, backstories to uncover and reasons to be fighting you, they'll pose as a big threat to anyone seeking a way out of the Garden . Get yourself warned!

4 PLAYABLE CHARACTERS

Unique characters. Unique weapons. Unique ways to play.

Ayla: A skilled assassin sent on a mission by her guild to prove her worth, she uses her sharp blades to eliminate targets before they can react. Her speed and proficiency are unmatched.
Kiran: An orphan that has learned life the hard way. He uses his raw strength to deliver attacks powerful enough to create shockwaves. Brutal.
Calie: This talented sculptor became a warrior to recover the freedom her people have lost. She will use her magical gemstones to pierce enemy defenses and shred them to bits. She is unforgiving.
Octave: Trained by a powerful witch, this young fighter summons ethereal weapons to attack his foes. Big or small, short or long range, he has the right one for every occasion. Lethal in all cases.

A STORY THAT OPENS UP, ONE PIECE AT A TIME
