Fallen Tear: The Ascension

A Classic-Inspired Journey, Reimagined in a Modern Metroidvania World

Step into the role of Hira, a mysterious child fated to stand against ancient gods. Fallen Tear: The Ascension combines the emotional weight and party-building of classic JRPGs with the freeform exploration of Metroidvanias and just a sprinkle of roguelike challenge. Every death teaches. Every bond matters.
