Fallen Tear: Ascension Kickstarter Officially Launches on August 27

/

Philippine-based studio CMD Studios announced that they are officially launching the Kickstarter campaign for their 2D Metroidvania action game Fallen Tear: Ascension on August 27.

You can check out the Kickstarter page here. As of this writing, the full details of the total goal of the campaign, its stretch goals, and a breakdown of what this campaign will provide in the development of the game have not been revealed.

It was also announced that those willing to support the campaign can get a 20% discount in the first 24 hours of the campaign.

The Kickstarter campaign will officially go live at 10:00 PM GMT +8 on August 27.

From what we saw when the game was showcased in an ID@Xbox virtual session, it is shaping rather well as it aims to release sometime in 2025. Xbox is providing support for this homegrown project as this is the studio’s first attempt at funding its own title. The developers consider Fallen Tear a fusion of JRPG elements with Metroidvania elements, with a large map containing a variety of enemy types, biomes, and various skills to unlock.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what to expect from Fallen Tear: Ascension

  • Each graphic element, animated sprite, and music note has been lovingly hand-crafted to ensure the best audiovisual experience.

  • Over 150 enemies and epic bosses to combat.

  • 26 interactable biomes (Silent Spring, Lilac Mire, Godspire Ruins, and more)

  • 22 Fates Bonds, each with its own unique abilities, storylines, and quests.

  • Different combat and skill trees to unlock (Elemental Imbuements, Ascension skills, and more)

  • Take a break from saving the world with Monster hunts and minigames.

  • The game’s intended length: on average = 20 - 40 hours

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Review - A Faithful Adventure With Flawed Execution

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has the potential to be a favorite for fans of the franchise, delivering an authentic Indiana Jones experience with its story and cinematic presentation. While the game shines in its exploration and puzzle elements, the combat and stealth mechanics’ lack of gameplay variety holds it back.

This will be music to the ears of kids who grew up on the series, but for the uninitiated, there’s nothing quite like the Mario & Luigi games. Mario & Luigi Brothership does its best to appeal to a wide range of players with charming presentation and a strong new Battle Plug system, but not everyone will be enamored with its reflex-testing gameplay.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure Review - A Nostalgic Return That Falls Flat

Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
