after the dark dark devotioneyeing the side of From Software productions, the Hiberian Works studio will soon offer us to discover a much more colorful and luminous universe with Astral-Ascent. Five heroes are imprisoned there in the museum built in memory of his victories by the formidable Serpent-Bearer. To escape, they will have no choice but to face the twelve warriors of the Zodiac barring their way. Each hero can count on a wide variety of powers to acquire and improve throughout their exploration of this eternal prison. In short, if you immediately thought of Saint Seiya after reading these few lines, you are not alone.
Astral-Ascent will therefore enter a first phase of early access from April 12 and will be offered at a price of 21.99 euros. Two heroes, five Zodiac bosses and two worlds to explore will initially be offered to us, but Hiberian Works promises regular updates in the months to come. The studio press release specifies that the title will be playable alone or in pairs via the Remote Play feature. On the soundtrack side, we will find the compositions of Dale North (dreamscaper, Wizard of Legend, Sparklite, Marble Knights) and the theme of the final boss will be sung by Emi Evans (NieR Automata, Dark Souls II). In short, a nice program for this self-published title and which seems to have been the subject of a lot of care by its developers, as evidenced by this new trailer released for the occasion.
