About

Astral Ascent is an indie action adventure title developed and published by Hibernian Workshop and Maple Whispering Limited, released on April 11, 2022. The game functions as a two-dimensional platformer rogue-lite set within a modern fantasy environment where players must escape the Garden, an astral prison. This prison is guarded by twelve powerful entities known as the Zodiacs who serve as formidable bosses throughout the experience. Players can choose from four distinct heroes, each offering unique weapons and playstyles to suit different approaches. Ayla utilizes twin daggers for high-speed eliminations, while Kiran relies on strength to generate shockwaves with his attacks. Calie employs magical gemstones to pierce defenses, and Octave summons ethereal guns that can be upgraded into larger weapons when necessary. Each character brings specific abilities that allow users to optimize their builds or experiment with new combinations to defeat the twelve bosses. The game features both single-player and co-op modes, allowing two players to fight enemies together in a local multiplayer setup. The narrative unfolds gradually through narration as the story expands piece by piece, revealing character motivations and world secrets over time. Main story content takes approximately eighteen hours to complete, while including extras extends playtime to around twenty-nine hours. For those aiming for full completion, the experience can last up to fifty-seven hours depending on exploration and challenges faced. The setting includes four gorgeous worlds where players dash across gigantic landscapes in hand-crafted areas designed by the artists. These environments are presented with gorgeous art and frame-by-frame animation that supports the exploration of original locations. The twelve Zodiac bosses bring unique attack patterns, abilities, and backstories to the battlefield as guardians dispatched across these different realms. Each run tests player skills and reactivity against foes that become stronger over time to match the growing power of the heroes.
