History VideoGame / SavantAscent

As of October 22, 2014, the game was given the [[UpdatedRerelease Void Update]], adding two new levels (one of which is the game's BonusBoss) and a new CD. A temporary update also gave access to [[HolidayMode Christmas mode]] which ended on January 1, 2015.

* NiceHat: The Alchemist sports a fancy hat with a feather in it.
* NinjaPirateRobotZombie: The Samurai is a Space Robot Samurai.

'''Savant: Ascent''' is a shooter created by Main/{{Dubstep}} creator Music/{{Savant}}, much in the same vein that Zun created ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}''. Taking control of a man simply dubbed "The Alchemist", you must scale your tower after a mysterious orb has blasted you from your home. That's about as much plot as the game will tell you. Savant Ascent is a sort of twin stick shooter. You aim and shoot with the mouse button and move with the wasd keys, but there is a catch. The player doesn't have free control of the Alchemist's movement; rather, they simply control which platform he is on and how he gets to the other one if he needs to move. Another important part of the game is collecting [=CDs=]. No literally, you collect [=CDs=] of Savant's songs to gain new powers. [[NintendoHard And you are gonna need them]].

* OminousGlitching: For no reason at all, both Vario and the orb he came out of glitch. After you [[spoiler: defeat Vario while using his mask, the sky turns into static and two suns appear with Vario's face on one of them.]]

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: According to the store page, the Alchemist is a mechanical being.

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: If the store page says anything about the Alchemist, then he is a mechanical being.

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: The Alchemist is reportedly at least a bit mechanical if the store page is anything to go by, but there is no explanation for him breathing in space other than RuleOfCool.

* AllThereInTheManual: The plot is really only covered in the games store page. In game you just get a short video of the Alchemist getting blasted out of his tower.
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: The Alchemist is reportedly at least a bit mechanical if the store page is anything to go by but there is no explanation for him breathing in space other than RuleOfCool.

* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:Overdrive. It's only obtained once you get six [=CDs=] and then grab the Philosopher's Stone at the top of the tower. You're gonna need if you want to beat the Void levels.]]

* GuideDangIt: [[spoiler:At no point ever does the game even hint that using your chain to grab the orb(the Philosopher's Stone) will do something good. At least until the void update where the 7th CD says it requires the orb. But good luck getting it without Overdrive.]]

* [[PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo Previous Cover Art Character Cameo]]: The games original FinalBoss is Vario, a character made for one of Savant's album covers.

* TrueFinalBoss: The Samurai. While you don't HAVE to do anything to get to him other than beat the previous level, it might as well be required that you gain access to [[spoiler:Overdrive]] just to fight let alone beat him.
