Solar Ash is an action adventure game where you play as Rei, a hero trying to save her world from the Ultravoid (a large black hole). To do this, she’ll need to skate her way to a number of big beasties throughout the world, and take them down. I interviewed the developers back in July who told me the game was “like a mix of Mario Galaxy, meets Shadow Of The Colossus, meets Jet Set Radio”. They want Solar Ash to feel pretty different from Hyper Light, so they put a lot of tech and energy into making sure the world was big enough for lotsa of movement and lotsa boss fights. It seems they’ve done a pretty good job too. In his Solar Ash review, Ed says: “Don’t expect one fluid joy ride, but when it does come together it really does impress. If you’re after a few hours of slicin’ and skatin’, I’d say it’s worth strapping those blades up.” Solar Ash is out now on the Epic Games Store, priced at £32/€40/$40. It’s also on PlayStation. The devs haven’t yet said whether or not it will come to other PC storefronts like Steam.
