Fallen Tear: The Ascension - A Unique Metroidvania Experience
over 1 year ago
– Thu, Sep 12, 2024 at 07:20:20 AM
A Metroidvania Unlike Any Other
What sets Fallen Tear: The Ascension (FTA) apart from traditional Metroidvania games is its unique combination of Zelda-inspired level design, Ori and the Will of the Wisps' fluid gameplay and art style, expansive enemy variety, and rich character progression systems. Whether through Hira's journey of self-discovery or the deep connections formed with Fated Bonds, FTA offers a deeply immersive experience filled with choice, exploration, and combat mastery. With non-linear world progression, 150 unique enemies, and a cast of compelling characters, FTA promises a fresh take on the Metroidvania genre, infused with JRPG elements that enhance both the gameplay and narrative.
Level Design - Expanding Exploration Inspired by Zelda BOTW
Fallen Tear: The Ascension (FTA) embraces the philosophy of an interconnected world map with a design approach inspired by Zelda: Breath of the Wild. In FTA, players start by unlocking essential skills that gradually open up the world. Once these key abilities are obtained, players are free to choose which path to take and which areas to explore. This sense of non-linear progression makes the game feel more open, giving you the freedom to decide the order in which you want to face challenges and progress in the world.
A preview of 60% of the interconnected world you will be able to explore:
150 Unique and Diverse Enemies - Challenges Await
FTA offers a variety of challenges in the form of 150 unique enemy types. Each enemy has its own distinct fighting style, patterns, and abilities. Whether it's small creatures or formidable monsters, you'll face enemies that are not only tough but strategically designed to push your limits. Every encounter feels fresh, providing depth and replayability to the game as players discover new enemy types and battle techniques.
Hira: The Demi-God Protagonist
At the heart of FTA is Hira, the main protagonist. Hira is the son of the God of Darkness, who controls the balance of life in the world of Raoah. However, Hira has forgotten his past and is on a quest to rediscover who he truly is. As he journeys through the world, he will uncover the mystery behind the corruption of the Gods and his true role in restoring balance to the world. Hira’s demigod lineage gives him powerful abilities that will grow stronger as the story unfolds, but his true potential lies in reawakening the Fated Bonds that will guide him.
Fated Bonds and Their Powers
The Fated Bonds are special characters that play a crucial role in Hira’s journey. These characters each bring unique skills, whether in the form of support abilities or powerful damage-dealing moves, to aid Hira in battle. As Hira strengthens his bond with these characters, they will unlock new abilities and deepen their connection, offering strategic depth to combat and progression.
Ravn: The Stepbrother and Talented Hunter
One of the most important figures in Hira’s journey is his stepbrother, Ravn. A highly skilled hunter, Ravn shares a deep love for their mother and will be heavily involved in Hira's progression throughout the game. His bond with Hira is not only important to the story but also vital to unlocking key aspects of Hira’s growth as a character and warrior. Ravn’s presence will be felt in pivotal moments, adding emotional weight to the narrative.
JRPG Elements Inspired by Suikoden
FTA also incorporates JRPG elements inspired by Suikoden, such as having to find and solve character quests before recruiting them as Fated Bonds. Each character has their own quest, backstory, and abilities, adding depth and complexity to the game's progression. Once recruited, these characters will reside in the Temple of Oras, the game's central hub, where they take on unique responsibilities that directly contribute to Hira's growth and power. Whether crafting new gear, offering training, or unlocking special abilities, these bonds ensure that every character you meet plays an important role in Hira’s journey, helping him get stronger as the game progresses.
Ori-Inspired Gameplay and Art Style
In terms of gameplay and aesthetics, FTA draws inspiration from Ori and the Will of the Wisps with its beautiful hand-drawn art style and fluid, responsive mechanics. The movement and combat are smooth, offering players a visually stunning world to explore, filled with meticulously designed environments and characters. The world design is crafted with the same level of care, drawing on atmospheric storytelling through landscapes and animations, making the exploration of Fallen Tear: The Ascension a truly breathtaking experience. Every environment has a distinct feel, inspired by Ori’s dynamic platforming and visual depth, immersing the player deeper into the world of Raoah.
