Astral Ascent Arven the Wolf Blade asks what happens when a swordsman shares his soul with a predator. This 2026 hack and slash anime action expansion from Hibernian Workshop adds a ferocious new hero to the zodiac prison. Arven fights with a cursed blade that howls when he draws blood. His gameplay emphasizes hit and run tactics, leaping between enemies and leaving behind spectral wolf images that explode after a delay. The latest version includes a new endless arena mode where you test Arven skills against increasingly difficult waves of celestial beasts.

Astral Ascent — is a side-scrolling action-adventure game with roguelike elements in a fantasy setting. As one of 4 heroes with completely different abilities, you have to escape from the Garden, an astral prison guarded by 12 powerful and cruel bosses, the Zodiacs. Dozens of unique spells for 4 different characters await you. As you progress, you will combine them to defeat the bloodthirsty bosses. Each launch will test your skills and your reactivity. Gameplay mechanics in Astral Ascent are fully consistent with the classic platformer. The character moves through the locations, periodically changing the height and mode of movement.
