Astral Ascent having a crossover with Dead Cells

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for roguelikes and platformers, I can hardly contain my excitement about the impending crossover between Astral Ascent and Dead Cells! The fusion of these two beloved titles promises an exhilarating blend of fluid movement, nervous action, and strategic gameplay that has been years in the making.


According to the announcement by Astral Ascent’s creators at Hibernian Workshop, there will be a collaboration between Astral Ascent and Dead Cells, featuring the introduction of novel weapons and additional content.

As a gamer, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement about this partnership! Dead Cells, without a doubt, stands tall as the undisputed king among Platformer Roguelike games. It’s not just popular; it’s the game that set the bar for defining this genre. Its seamless movement mechanics and pulse-pounding action are elements we admired and drew inspiration from in our own gaming ventures.

Check out the teaser trailer, below:


 

The partnership is scheduled for November 27th, and according to the team, there will be additional savings when the update launches. If you currently don’t have it, you might consider waiting. Five exclusive weapons from Dead Cells are set to be introduced into the game, which you can look forward to!

  • Nutcracker for Kiran
  • Throwing Knives for Ayla
  • Wrenching Whip for Octave
  • Scythe Claw for Calie
  • Symmetrical Lance for Yamat

In addition to each weapon, you’ll receive 15 new passive abilities. Moreover, the team has announced a novel feature for the upcoming 1.9 update: players can now carry two weapons simultaneously, providing increased strategic options and the potential for powerful combos using weapon passives. However, they had not previously revealed any details about the 1.9 update; further information will be shared on their Discord Server and Twitter in just two weeks’ time.

In our assessment of the game, we pointed out: “Astral Ascent stands out among Roguelike games as one of the best, earning equal acclaim with genre frontrunners. Its combat action is nothing short of delightful, while there are numerous intricate systems to grasp and rewarding enhancements to acquire during gameplay. If I were in a situation where I could only play one game for the remainder of the year, I would unquestionably choose Astral Ascent and enjoy myself immensely.

Astral Ascent is out now on PC and Nintendo Switch.
