Astral Ascent REVIEW 

I love how you always provide context for the game you're reviewing, it makes it

@5:02 I may be alone on this but when it comes to roguelite's this is exactly the type of gameplay I want to see. Showing early gameplay where everything is locked out and options are scarce sometimes makes games look less appealing then they really are. Seeing a mid-late run character with stacks of upgrades and perks is the perfect way to showcase what a game like this has on offer at least to me

Okay the wolf guy at 23:55 did NOT have the voice I was expecting! They nailed it for Papa Yalee though, loving that guy.

Dude, I was going to give this a miss but you've totally convinced me! Rad video as always!

Your reviews are always so informative and well-thought-out, it's clear that you

The first time you played this is the very first video if yours I've ever watched. This game is god-like indeed. Both art and gameplay

Backed this on kickstart and I'm so glad it's become something amazing. Literally my favorite rogue-like game out there. I just love fighting the zodiacs and meeting the signs that you get along best with ☺️ I cannot wait for the next character to come out.

Your review was so good, I had to watch it twice and take notes!

This game review was so well-done, I can tell you put a lot of effort into it.

I appreciate the fact that you don't just focus on the technical aspects of the game,

Your review was so detailed, I feel like I've already played the game myself.

Your reviews always provide a great balance of both the good and bad aspects of

I swear Splatt, half the games in my steam library are your fault lol, putting this one on my wishlist, thanks for the spotlight and the commentary. Been following for a long time and always love the reviews.

Looks like it's following in the footsteps of Dead Cells more than anything else. Awesome.

as someone who has 100+ hrs into this game. I'd highly recommend you to get your attackspeed up cus it builds your mana way quicker. Multiple hitting skills combined with x% on hit effect imbuements is always great and satisfactory..(imagine seeing 6x thunderstrikes hitting down cus of multiple hits)

Your review was so good, I had to leave a comment and subscribe to your channel!

Your reviews are always so engaging and entertaining, it's clear that you have a

Yo Splat your narrative style is excellent and your opinions are fair. Thanks for covering all sorts of cool arse games. This one looks great!

I can see the inspiration motion twin took from dead cells in certain spots, but made it unique from it. Can't wait to check it out for myself

This is one of those games that exists primarily to provide dopamine hits. The industry paid attention to Vampire Survivors.

I appreciate the fact that you don't just focus on the positive aspects of the game,

At a first glance this makes me think of a platformer version of Wizard of Legend, absolutely love it!

Honestly I was expecting Hades 2 to fulfill my roguelike needs this year but Astral Ascent does it instead. Very solid game and doesn't steal features from others, just made their own approach to a fan concept of modern roguelikes.

This game is already on my Switch wish list. This game looks dope as hell

This looks incredible. I got it wishlisted for whenever I need a new game to play!

This isn't my kind of game, but I still watched the whole video because, you're right, it's beautiful and exceptionally well made. Nice job, devs!

Game is amazing. Have 200 plus hours into it. Def best 1.0 of 2023. But have to give some props to Blazblue Entropy Effect and Oblivion Override, which are top tier rogues in EA.

I started playing a couple days ago and needed to know that Splatt played it, not because of how good it is, but because it doesn't have damage on contact lol

Backed this on Kickstarter and played a bit when Alpha released, but I wanted to save it until it was more complete!

I didn't think I liked roguelites until hades ( iwas a big transistor fan and gave it a shot) and it ended up being my favorite game of the last decade or so. I'll give this one a shot.

Bought it immediately. Thanks for the advice.

I was looking for a good game in the style of Hades, and this is absolutely what I was looking for. Splattercat's recommendation is spot on. I would certainly say it is worth the price of admission.

passion for gaming.

This game is breathtakingly beautiful, I loved every second of this video.

Pixel Art games are one of the most beautiful forms of art. I'd take that over triple a lifelike realistic graphics any day. Not to mention there is something about Pixel Art games that effect the gameplay in a special way you just dont get from triple A

Instantly made me think of Wizard of Legend, Dead Cells and Hades. Got the game for myself before watching this video, game is very fun so far

So, this one is roguelite meets bullethell upgrading? Looks like bullethell bosses too, actually. The art looks quite good, it's got that late 90s early 00s 12-16bit colors pixel art vibe.

Please do an end of year review of your favorite games played this year

this games great. put over 30 hours into it and just been waiting for release

game], thanks for mentioning that in your review.

Every couple steps some new stuff, it's like a ADHD Roguelite

Hey Splat you unlocked the gun guy by reaching the third biome. You just have other tutorials that take precedence so it didn’t tell you.

I would like to see what Splat thinks are the best action/platformers he's ever played, since he's done so many.

I like it, but for me, I'm into stuff like Doomsday Hunters a bit more. I bought both last week, becauze for the past 2 weeks, I have basically been hopping on the Nintendo store and PSN+ and buying roguelikes like fuckin groceries. I am definitely going to put much more time into this, though, and I predict I'm probably going to enjoy it more as I play and unlock more stuff.

Not my thing but it deserves praise and sales. Lots of stuff to like about it.

9 year old me would have Lovveedd this game! 39 year old me goes, man.. It looks cool! But my coordination isn't what it used to be! Sad panda..

You can't be hit by limit breaks if you limit how many breaks they get to none.

This shit is sooooo much fun very unexpected but there’s nothing I’m having more fun with

Sounds like alot am waiting for Spirtfall to get on consuals. Its more my speed with small rooms and smash brothers combat.

played for 3 hours and im not hocked at all, my worst problem with the game is the feeling when you hit an enemy, feels like hitting a sponge with a straw…, but I will try again later this evening

A bit like one step from Eden with the spell rotation?

I remember playing the demo for this and not enjoying it, maybe it's better now?

This game looks like it would be great for fans of [insert game genre or specific

but also the areas where it could improve.

know your stuff.

but also the overall experience.

Idk why but this is giving me very genshin impact vibes. Hard to explain but it feels too glittery and sparkly for my taste lol

easier to understand.
