The visually stunning game, Solar Ash, has finally made its debut on Xbox Cloud Gaming. This release marks a significant expansion for the game. Which has also been released today on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, and Nintendo Switch.
Developed by Heart Machine, the creators of the critically acclaimed Hyper Light Drifter, Solar Ash has been the subject of praise. The game is known for its gorgeous art style, fluid movement mechanics, and beautiful soundtrack. It’s set in the same universe as Hyper Light Drifter, but presents a wildly different aesthetic and gameplay philosophy.
A gorgeous yet dangerous quest
In Solar Ash, players assume the role of a character known as Rei. Who embarks on a treacherous journey to save her world from imminent destruction. The game takes place inside a giant black hole known as the Ultravoid. Which has been devastating everything in its path. Rei, a member of a race of interdimensional beings called the Voidrunners, must venture into the Ultravoid to stop a supernatural corruption causing its destructive nature.
The gameplay of Solar Ash is heavily focused on the fluid traversal of its world. Rei can build up her speed, climb walls, and use a grappling ability to reach high ledges or swing across gaps. Mastering these movement mechanics is key to dodging enemy attacks and approaching the game’s massive bosses, known as Sentinels.
Solar Ash’s release on Xbox Cloud Gaming is a significant step. Allowing a wider audience to experience this unique and striking game. Its vibrant color palette, minimalistic aesthetic, and engaging gameplay make it a must-play. Whether you’re a fan of Heart Machine’s previous work or just looking for a new gaming experience, Solar Ash is sure to provide an unforgettable journey.
