TGG says: "Solar Ash just managed to make it out in 2021 but it instantly became one of my favorite games of the year. It has an interesting story that got its hooks in me from the get go and the visuals and art direction are jaw dropping. Even though you spend a lot of the time doing a lot of the same things over and over the gameplay never got old to me as the fast and fluid movement system is so darn thrilling as are the towering boss fights."
Heart Machine's critically acclaimed sci-fi adventure platformer, Solar Ash, has received a 12+ age rating for the Nintendo Switch.
The scale of its massive creatures pairs well with strong-level design and exciting characters. It’s great to see Machine Heart build something different. Although the game has its flaws, it’s a solid sophomore effort.
From Hollywood Reporter: "Games publisher Annapurna Interactive has tapped industry veteran Chelsea Hash to helm its internal development studio, which launched in 2020 and is based in Los Angeles.
