Fallen Tear: The Ascension is a side-scrolling Metroidvania game that Winter Crew Studios developed. The game is set in the high-fantasy world of Raoah, and you play as Hira, a child fated to stand against ancient gods. The game is built around the Fated Bond System; allies with combat and traversal abilities distinct to them help reshape how players explore and fight. The early access launch included 10 interconnected regions, 6 main bosses (3 optional), and 10 Fated Bonds within the opening act. The full release looks to double the content, adding 10 more major regions with interconnected areas, 5 new bosses, 19 optional bosses, and 11 new Fated Bonds, each with its own story and abilities. Hira’s progression has expanded with three additional Ascensions, four new Elemental imbuements, and many more, along with full combat, progression, and exploration systems available at release.
