After revealing its debut 2D platformer and dubbing it "the Elden Ring of Metroidvania in terms of map size," indie studio Winter Crew has continued to bedazzle fans with Fallen Tear: The Ascension - and now there's a successful Kickstarter campaign to boot.

Fallen Tear blends JRPG and Soulslike elements to create a high fantasy experience like no other - and judging by its developers' newly launched Kickstarter campaign, countless fans can't wait to dive straight into the Metroidvania. The Kickstarter just went up last week, but it's already accumulated almost $90,000 in total from more than 1,500 backers - that's about $60,000 over the $30,000 goal initially posted.
