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

Step into the role of Hira, a mysterious child born with the dark element 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, plus a touch of souls-like challenge. Every death teaches. Every bond matters.

Become Raoah's Fiercest Warrior

Slash, parry, and dodge attacks coming from every direction. Customize Hira's loadout with a deep well of combat skills and abilities, then learn enemy attack patterns, swap weapons and items on the fly, and shift strategies mid-battle to keep even the toughest bosses guessing.

Form Unwavering Bonds

Forge friendships with mages, swordsmen, tricksters and healers through the Fated Bonds system. Inspired by classic JRPG party mechanics, recruit allies to fight and explore alongside you, each lending their own abilities to combat and traversal. Journey alongside 22 allies, each with their own skills to master, sidequests to complete, and stories to unravel.

Stake Your Claim

Build and customize your castle, the Temple of Oras, towering above all of Raoah. Fill it with friendly faces old and new from across this vast world, and complete minigames to earn upgrades that shape the Temple into a living reflection of Hira's journey and the bonds formed along the way.

Conquer Raoah's Guardians

Bring Hira's acquired skills and allies to bear against vicious boss battles. Swap tactics on the fly, exploit each foe's weaknesses, and strike at the right moment. Every boss conquered brings Hira one step closer to uncovering his murky past.
