About
Step into the role of Hira, a mysterious child fated to stand against ancient gods. Fallen Tear: The Ascension combines the emotional weight and party-building of classic JRPGs with the freeform exploration of Metroidvanias and just a sprinkle of roguelike challenge. Every death teaches. Every bond matters.
Explore a massive, interconnected world presented through gorgeous hand-drawn traditional animation and full professional voice acting! Venture through lush forests, lost cities, and forgotten ruins, all teeming with hidden pathways and challenges to conquer. Journey across with over 10 of Raoah’s interconnected regions, six main bosses (and three optional bosses!), and experience the story’s opening act during the Early Access Release.
Slash, parry, and dodge incoming attacks from all directions. Customize Hira’s loadout with a wealth of combat skills and abilities while exploring all Raoah has to offer. Learn enemy attack patterns, swap weapons and items, and switch up strategies mid-battle to keep enemies and bosses always second-guessing!
Forge friendships with mages, swordsmen, tricksters, and healers through the Fated Bonds system. Inspired by fan-favorite JRPG party assist and battle systems, recruit allies and harness their abilities in combat and traversal. Journey alongside more than 16 fully-voiced allies, each with their own abilities to experiment with, sidequests to complete, and stories to unravel.
Customize a Castle towering above all of Raoah and take refuge in the Temple of Oras. Fill this hub with friendly faces, both new and old, from across this vast world. Complete minigames to acquire upgrades and forge the Temple of Oras into a reflection of Hira’s adventures and relationships made along the way.
Take Hira’s acquired skills and allies to take on vicious boss battles. Swap tactics on the fly, exploit their weaknesses, and strike at the right moment. With each boss battle conquered, Hira is one step closer to uncovering his murky past.

This game really captures what makes the Metroidvania genre so much fun. Exploring the world always feels rewarding, the combat is smooth and satisfying, and there are plenty of places to explore and secrets waiting to be found. The monster designs are absolutely fire and cute at the same time, and the art style and soundtrack do an amazing job of bringing the world to life. It also strikes a nice balance between challenge and exploration, so every upgrade feels worth earning. Overall, it's an excellent Filipino-made game!
I played for 2 hours+ into Fallen Tear: The Ascension and I am already really impressed. For a Metroidvania game the production quality here is amazing. Here is what stands out to me on: Stunning Hand-Drawn Art: The traditional animation is beautiful. The colorful worlds look like a fantasy anime and Hira moves really smoothly. Crisp Responsive Controls: The movement and combat feel very precise from the start. The platforming is great the hitboxes are accurate. The combat feels really good. A Fresh Twist on Progression: The game mixes JRPG elements like recruiting special allies that give you new abilities, with traditional Metroidvania exploration. This feels really fresh. Even choosing which movement skill to unlock first is a choice. In its early stages Fallen Tear: The Ascension feels really polished, engaging and full of heart. If you love games like Hollow Knight or Ori and the Will of the Wisps but want something with a twist this is totally worth checking out. Hats off to Winter Crew Studios, for making Fallen Tear: The Ascension.
