This is the news indie collectors and high-octane action fans have been waiting for. Super Rare Games has officially partnered with the legendary D-Pad Studio (the visionary team behind Owlboy) to bring a physical edition of Savant – Ascent REMIX to the Nintendo Switch.
If you missed the digital launch, or if you’re the type who needs a cartridge on your shelf to truly feel like you own a game, now is your chance to snag a piece of “Hi-Bit” history.
The Ascent Just Got Rarer
Originally released as a massive “remix” and expansion of D-Pad Studio’s 2013 debut, Savant – Ascent REMIX is more than just a remaster—it’s a complete overhaul. This physical release immortalises the Alchemist’s journey in a premium package that Super Rare Games is known for.
The Limited Edition includes:
Physical Cartridge: The full game, including all the latest updates.
Full-Colour Manual: A rare treat in the modern era of gaming.
Exclusive Sticker: To show off your Alchemist pride.
Trading Card Pack: A 3-card pack from the Super Rare collection.
Interior Art: Stunning visuals from Simon S. Andersen.
Note: This is a strictly limited run of only 4,000 copies. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!
What is Savant – Ascent REMIX?
For the uninitiated, the game is a unique fusion of a shoot-’em-up and a platformer. You play as the Alchemist, cast out of his tower by an unknown force and forced to fight his way back up.
Unlike traditional platformers, your movement is restricted to jumping and dashing between two platforms—typically moving elevators or floating debris—as you dodge a relentless “bullet hell” of mechanical fiends.
Key Features:
Enhanced Combat: Use new abilities like the Double Jump, Cancel-Jump, and Mid-air Power Shots to survive.
Epic Boss Fights: Face off against the Laser Sharks, the Valchemist, and the legendary Immortal Samurai.
Musical Synergy: The game is set to the bombastic, genre-bending soundtrack of Norwegian EDM artist Savant. In this version, you can even customise your own playlist as you play.
New Game Modes: Beyond the Alchemist’s Story, test your skills in Survival Mode or the brutal, no-checkpoints Hardcore Mode.
