Astral Ascent is finally out and it's incredible...

My Astral Ascent 1.0 Full Release Deep Dive and Impressions. I'm a huge fan of this game that pumped tons of hours into Early Access and I'm hyped to see this one finally release! New 2D Pixel Art Action Roguelike with fast paced combat similar to Dead Cells, Skul The Hero Slayer, and Hades

ABOUT THIS GAME
Astral Ascent is a 2D platformer rogue-lite 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.
Unlock dozens of unique spells for your 4 distinct characters. Optimize your own build or try out new ones 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.
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!

I picked it up during early access and I loved it right from the jump. I'm a massive fan of Roguelike games, having played Gungeon, Hades, Risk of Rain 1 & 2, Wizard of Legend, Dead Cells, Isaac and I think you get the idea 😅Astral Ascent has really captured my heart. From the vibrant, charming pixel graphics, world and characters to polished gameplay that feels clean, fluid and just overall fun. Astral Ascent has made its way into my top three favorite Roguelike games. I'm shocked its not garnering more attention on YouTube and Twitch. I've been scouring the internet for videos like this, hoping to help its visibility, (It's really the only thing I can do to help in that department 😂) If I had the budget to start streaming I would in a heartbeat. (And maybe its a me thing because just the thought of streaming does spike my anxiety levels. Anyone who doesn't but would like to stream also feel like that?) Anyway, to anyone who is unfortunate enough to stumble across this mad man's rambling mess of a comment and you're thinking about trying this game out please do. If you have even a minuscule interest in Roguelikes, there is a great chance you will like or love this game.

Fun Fact: In Czech the word "owl" translates to "Sova"!

Might be a Europian reference?

My first impression was 'eh it looks like just another small indie game'.
But.. didn't take much time to realise that I was wrong.
Some might think this game looks like hardcore castlevania such as Deadcell, but it's more like dopamine-festa roguelite imo.
