How co-op works
Two players share each local roguelite run or connect through Remote Play Together, choosing from four heroes and assembling separate spell combinations. Both clear handcrafted rooms and the 12 Zodiac bosses together, coordinating crowd control, burst damage, and upgrade choices before defeat resets temporary power.
About this game
Astral Ascent is a roguelite action platformer built around lightning-fast combat and boss showdowns. You and up to three friends pick from four unique heroes, each wielding their own arsenal of spells, and fight your way through the Garden to confront the 12 Zodiac guardians. True cooperative play lets everyone jump into the fray together, combining abilities and covering each other during the relentless boss gauntlets.

Gameplay revolves around tight platforming, spell combos, and learning boss patterns through repeated runs. Every attempt refines your strategy as you unlock new spells, companions, and upgrades. The real thrill comes from coordinating with teammates during split-second dodges and chaining attacks to break through the toughest encounters.
Local couch co-op supports split-screen and single-screen play, and Steam Remote Play Together extends the action online. Sessions lean heavily on communication and teamwork, turning each roguelite run into a collaborative push against some of the most demanding bosses in the genre.
