Unfinished: Astral Ascent

Attacking and dethroning God is old news. Let's attack the stars and zodiac signs in Astral Ascent!

Sometimes we look at a game before it's done. When that's the case? Well... it must be Unfinished.

Even though I hate the first player character's voice, the melee attack being a hold rather than constant tapping is almost enough to make me buy this straight up.

I need a reading of Bromeo and Juliette with Jan and Jess doing the voices of Kiren and Ayla.

I'm really not a fan of the titles of the YouTube videos lately, but I guess that's just what you have to do now because the internet is terrible.

@voidburger - My quick and dirty opinion for the difference of rogue-like and rogue-lite:

  • Rogue-likes: The only thing you take from run to run is knowledge.
  • Rogue-lites: While you start with nothing, you progressively grow stronger run after run.

Hope this helps. :)

I've heard the various grunts and assorted noises from voice acting referred to as "efforts".

The voice bits in this were great.

This looks neat-- I have limited patience for rogue-lites these days, but if this feels as good as it looks, I might dip back in.

Jan and Jess always do a quality video, thanks you two!

Rogue Like : Games like the game Rogue. Exploring dungeons with ASCII "graphic" and completely start from scratch after dying.

Rogue Lite: Games with Rogue elements but that adds more features like progress kept after each runs.

This looks fun. It looks like it fuses Celeste and Dead Cells in a way that seems extremely fluid.
