Fallen Tear: The Ascension

Must Have!!! This game is so fun to play, and it’s very different from the other Metroidvania games I’ve played! What’s amazing is that it’s still in early access, yet the game is already incredibly polished and really makes you want to keep exploring even more!

I haven’t played a Metroidvania-style game in a while, but this one has really hooked me. A very nice looking game with cute and different characters. Love the colorful environment. The game is full of charm. There are very few games that have made me stop and simply look at the scenery but this game does it easily. And the fighting system is cool. Instead of just mindlessly mashing buttons you have the “Fated Bonds” system, which allows you to summon recruited allies for unique offensive buffs and abilities. A top recommendation for fans of story-driven 2D platformers.

With two hours into the game, I can say that this game has been a fun one. The combat, the gameplay loop, the characters have all been so enjoyable so far, but in my opinion, this game's main charm is its hand drawn animations that give the game life. With that said, I'll go ahead and recommend this game for other people.

After playing for almost three hours, I was completely hooked. What first caught my attention was the art style, but after actually playing the game, I ended up loving everything about it. The action is exciting, the visuals are beautiful, and the controls feel smooth and well-designed. The biggest surprise for me was the story. It feels like reading one of those popular novels or web stories, except you're the one progressing through it. That makes the whole experience feel much more immersive and alive. The pacing kept me engaged, and I genuinely wanted to see what would happen next. I honestly had no idea the creators were Filipino. I didn't expect a game made locally to be this polished and beautiful. Huge kudos to the developers for creating such an amazing experience. I'll definitely be recommending this game to my friends. If you're looking for a game with great action, gorgeous art, and a story that really pulls you in, this is absolutely worth playing.

I've been having a great time with this game '[h3]Fallen Tear: The Ascension[/h3]' The first thing that grabbed me was the gorgeous hand-drawn art and smooth animations, every area feels alive and full of personality, and the [i]Metroidvania[/i] progression keeps giving me reasons to revisit previous areas as I unlock new abilities. Combat are so feel satisfying, especially once you start experimenting with different skills and companions. in terms of soundtracks and th atmosphere deserve a special mention too. For an Early Access game, there's already a lot to enjoy, and it's exciting to see the potential for what's still to come. The developers have clearly put a lot of passion into this project, and it shows in the art, world-building, and gameplay. If you're a fan of Metroidvanias, action RPGs, or beautifully crafted indie games, this is definitely worth checking out. Looking forward to seeing how the game grows with future updates!

As someone who hasn't played this type of game in a long time, I got hooked way faster than I expected. The title screen immediately caught my attention with its clean design and beautiful visuals, while the main menu theme gave me Disney movie vibes. It felt hopeful, emotional, and inspiring, and it really set the mood before I even started playing. The graphics are gorgeous, the story pulled me in right away, and the voice acting fits each character perfectly. Hira instantly became my favorite since I've always been a Hunter main in almost every game I play, so I'm excited to see where the story goes. The tutorials are easy to follow without feeling overwhelming, and I also loved seeing a temple name that felt very Filipino. As a Filipino, that small detail genuinely made me smile. I'm already invested in the story and can't wait to try the other game modes. I can already tell this is going to be the game I'll get addicted to every weekend on my rest days. Huge respect to the developers. This game has the potential to stand alongside some of the best games I've played. It's definitely worth checking out!

The art is absolutely gorgeous, the animations are smooth, and the world is just fun to explore. Every new area has something interesting to discover, and the Metroidvania progression feels rewarding instead of frustrating. Combat is responsive, bosses are enjoyable, and unlocking new abilities kept me excited to see what was behind previously unreachable paths.
