The Bergsons' Reinforcements update

We are so happy to make updates including licences we love and inspire us and this time it's Children of Morta's turn! [previewyoutube=MM13iX8ZTxE;full][/previewyoutube] We'd like to thanks once again Dead Mage and 11 bit studios for the opportunity! For more details you can check the 1.10 Patch Notes.

7 new Echoes from Children of Morta

It's really great to be able to summon the Bergsons with 7 new echoes that complete the possible builds.

- Apan's Magic Glyph (restore life)
- Joey's Smite (meteors)
- John's Heaven's Strike (spirit swords)
- Kevin's Fan of Knives (missiles)
- Linda's Explosive Crescendo (ignition)
- Lucy's Cyclone (sparks)
- Mark's Scourging Whip (ice idols)

As we have more echoes now, 40 in total, we added an extra Yalee reroll.

Reroll Starting Auras

We have also added the possibility to reset the Small Dragons Auras for Sun Pieces so you have more flexibility for your starting Aura -

Visual Effects Opacity Option

We have also added an option to change the opacity of visual effects -

More of the 2.0

This 1.10 update content is smaller than usual because we are hard working on the 2.0 update! The update is planned for April 30 2025 and we still have a lot to do! The amount of content is very big as we wish for it to deliver a new and fresh experience for Astral Ascent at this moment. We have already been working on the new Rooms. One of them is allowing you to pick any Auras from the game, Auras are ordered by key words so if you have Fire Slime like in the example below, they will be in the Fire and in the Slime categories. [previewyoutube=oYmRqwhvctk;full][/previewyoutube] The idea is that you simply go to the category you are focusing right now, for example Ice Swords and you will see all auras related to Ice Swords at once. We have also worked on the Room to select any Echoes from the game, with 40 Echoes in the game it makes sure you can get the exact Echo you want to complete your build as we want to make sure all echoes exist for their respective builds. [previewyoutube=9DdoQ2mLxLM;full][/previewyoutube] We have also started to work on the Andromeda's boss fight and we found out how she will fight and how this fight will be integrated in the game!

Don't hesitate to wishlist the DLC if you want to! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3372880/Astral_Ascent__The_Outer_Reaches/

Steam Couch Co-op Fest

Finally, we are part of the Steam Couch Co-op Fest so it's a great opportunity to remind you can play in co-op in Astral Ascent, either in local co-op or through Remote Play Together or Parsec for online play!

We wish you all to have an amazing week ahead and we cannot to tell you more about the Outer Reaches and other surprises coming this year! -The Hibernian Workshop Team

Astral Ascent is a 2D platformer rogue-lite 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.

FIGHT YOUR WAY

Unlock dozens of unique spells for your 4 distinct characters. Optimize your own build or try out a new one to take down 12 powerful bosses. Get stronger with time to match up with your foes. Each run will test your skills and your reactivity.

DON'T GO ALONE

The weight of destiny is too heavy to carry by yourself? Don’t worry and bring a friend to play in our two player co-op mode. Fight and crush your enemies together in local co-op or online using the Steam's Remote Play Together feature.

AN ASTRAL THREAT

The Zodiacs are 12 experienced guardians dispatched over 4 gorgeous worlds. They’ll bring to the battlefield unique attacks, abilities, and patterns, backstories to uncover, and reasons to be fighting you. Get yourself warned!

NARRATION THROUGH REPLAYABILITY

Astral Ascent is a rogue-lite infused with narration. Replayability is part of our story which will be unravelled piece of piece. As you get stronger, you will discover more about the characters, their motivations, and the secrets of the world they’re trapped in.

A BEAUTIFUL MODERN FANTASY WORLD

Dash across gigantic landscapes. Explore original and hand-crafted areas. Discover the world created by our artists, with a gorgeous art and frame-by-frame animation.

4 PLAYABLE CHARACTERS

Unique characters. Unique weapons. Unique ways to play.

Ayla: The sole survivor of her guild of assassins, she uses her twin daggers to eliminate her enemies before they can react. Her speed and profenciency are unmatched.
Kiran: This orphan learned life the hard way. He uses his strength to deliver attacks powerful enough to create shockwaves. Brutal.
Calie: This talented sculptor wants her freedom back. 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 guns to attack his foes. When needed, he can conjure bigger weapons as well. Lethal in all cases.

A COALITION FOR HOPE

You can count on faithful allies to help you find your way out

The Merchant: This mysterious figure has the power to unveil your true potential through rememoring forgotten skills. Careful… it won’t be free.
Zim-Zim: Her greenhouse hides magical plants which can increase your abilities. If you can bear her whimiscal and frankly immature behavior.
Oloon: The best stylist in the known universe is right here and available. Want to change the color of your clothes? Dye your hair? She has everything you need!
Papa Yalee: This old cat—he is almost 20!—will always have a good story about the foes you’ll encounter and your runs. The good news is that… most of them are true.
Sova: Once a powerful sorceress, Sova was cursed and must now serve the Garden. Her past is a burden of shame she carries in silence.
Ordan: De facto leader of the Garden, this fierce warrior helps the Heroes in their quest. Her might is legendary.
Ikki: Ordan’s ex-husband and a powerful warrior on his own, he is in charge of training Heroes. His knowledge of the art of war is endless.
