    My favorite semi-recent lesser known indies Astral Ascent- Closest thing to a 2D Hades imo Littlewood- Animal Crossing/cozy game with TONS of RPG elements Tinykin- Pikmin clone with way more fun level design Crypt Custodian- Top down Metroidvania with bullet hell elements. Excellent exploration

    27th Game Completed of 2026: Astral Ascent Well done. 👏 That game was just fun. There is a lot more play to be had, but with 63% game completion (76/89 achievements), I'm at a good point to put it down. Overall, fast, frenetic, fluid, fun. 👍 9/10 This is what I mean when I'm not a story first - -

    Astral Ascent Progress: Wooooooo hot damn, wow. This game is COOL. 😎 It's just got style, like it feels, feels very much like it just has aura. I don't know a better way to phrase it. Lots of frenetic fun. 👍 Fourth run, made it to the final guy but lost there. 😭 So close.

    I started this blog because I LOVED an indie game called Astral Ascent. I viewed it as the closest thing to 2D Hades out there. And it just wasn't being discussed anywhere. Finally I said "fuck it, I'll do it". So whenever someone discovers an indie gane through the blog, it makes me very happy.

    Duuuude if you're a fan of roguelites I SUPER recommend Astral Ascent. Been absolutely addicted for the past couple days lol. I'm amazed this game doesn't get more recognition. It's gorgeous, fun as hell, and more than a few characters are absolute eye candy ;3 Kinda inspiring some art here haha!

    With its gorgeous new rogue-lite action platformer, indie team Hibernation Workshop is not only knocking the combat and customization out of the park with Astral Ascent, but is also engaging in the character work and narrative highs that made Hades a redefining game for the genre.

  • Lachesis, Suntouched🍳 @lachesis.bsky.socialBluesky · Sep 13, 2026

    The game Astral Ascent has 3 Ancient living weapons: 2 clones who winnowed their numbers from 100, a child in a painful soul split with a golem, and a robot angel. From this, we can infer that the Ancients were a race of Sicko Lesbian trans women.

    Arven is pretty fun to play in Astral Ascent. Unlocked two aspects of his sword playstyle, working on unlocking his ranged playstyle. It's a shame he only gets two weapon types compared to everyone else's 4, but eh, fair enough for a cameo character for an in-development game.
