The Epic Games Store is giving Astral Ascent away this week, with LUFTRAUSERS alongside it. The giveaway opened on Thursday 10 September and closes on Thursday 17 September. Claim it inside that window and it sits in your Epic library for good.
Hibernian Workshop made it and published it themselves. It's a 2D action platformer built as a roguelite: you're stuck in the Garden, an astral prison guarded by twelve bosses called the Zodiacs, and every run is another escape attempt. You pick one of four heroes and combine dozens of spells differently from one attempt to the next. It works solo or with a second player in local co-op on the same screen.
Steam users rate it Very Positive, with 5,073 positive reviews and 324 negative, and it has a Metascore of 86.
What the free Epic copy gives you, and what it doesn't
The copy you claim costs nothing and you keep it. It just lives on Epic, and it stays there: no entry in your Steam library, no Steam achievements, no way to move it across later.
That starts to matter once you get to the DLC. All three add-ons in our catalogue are sold as Steam Keys, and a Steam DLC needs the base game sitting on Steam as well, which a free Epic copy won't do for you.
Plenty of people won't mind. If you live on a Steam Deck, though, or you just want everything in one library, look at what the Steam version costs before you decide.
Steam Key offers from €2.35 with fees
These were the figures at 05:50 UTC on 13 September, and they shift through the day. We've ordered them by the total once each store's payment fee goes on, which is not the order the shelf prices put them in:
- Difmark Digital Keys: €2.25 with coupon Gocdkeys (€2.35 with fees), Steam Key
- Kinguin: €2.12 with coupon SEPGOC10 (€2.64 with fees), Steam Key
- Driffle: €2.17 with coupon GOCDKEYS10 (€2.65 with fees), Steam Key
- Gamivo: €1.93 with coupon GCDKGamivo (€2.75 with fees), Steam Key
- Eneba: €2.06 with coupon Gocdkeys10 (€2.78 with fees), Steam Key
- G2A: €2.57 with coupon GCKG2AU1M4D (€2.86 with fees), Steam Key
- Instant Gaming: €2.89, no fees, Steam Key
Gamivo advertises the lowest number of the lot and then bills you €2.75, which drops its Steam Key to fourth. There are 23 Steam Key offers all told, plus one lone Steam Gift, at G2A, for €23.54 (€23.83 with fees). That barely undercuts the €24.50 Steam charges for the game itself, with nothing added at checkout.
Our Steam Key history, which leaves fees out, puts the median at €7.44 and the lowest figure on file at €2.00, on 14 May. With the coupons applied, today's base prices are sitting on that floor.
Yamat, The Outer Reaches and Celestial Haven
All three DLC are Steam Keys, so they're only any use if the base game is on Steam. Cheapest this morning:
- Yamat the Breach Traveler: €3.19, no fees, at CDKeys, Steam Key. On Steam it's €4.99, no fees.
- The Outer Reaches: €5.12 with coupon SEPGOC10 at Kinguin (€5.88 with fees), Steam Key. On Steam it's €9.75, no fees.
- Celestial Haven: €1.96 with coupon GCKG2AU1M4D at G2A (€2.25 with fees), Steam Key. On Steam it's €2.99, no fees.
The Outer Reaches is where the key route pays off most, in cash and in percentage.
Epic, Steam, or both
If you already play on Epic, or you don't much care which launcher a game opens in, claim Astral Ascent before Thursday 17 September and that's that.
If your library is on Steam, or you reckon the DLC will tempt you sooner or later, Difmark's Steam Key at €2.25 with coupon Gocdkeys (€2.35 with fees) is a small outlay. Every store we track, the Gift included, is on our buy Astral Ascent key page.
Or do both: take the Epic copy while it's free, and pick up the Steam Key later if the DLC ever tempts you.
