FromSoftware brought us the now famous the saga of soulswhich culminated with the best-selling Ring of Elden, patenting a clean playing style. Scenarios to discover without any help, enemies with the greatest possible difficulty and an astonishing ease of death.
Asterigos is a Roleplay which aims to be more than just a Souls game. Adding small towns and quieter places to explore, a more elaborate story, without leaving any margins in the plot, but which is totally due to the Souls style in its gameplay. We are facing a long-term adventure and although we can choose the level of difficulty. Having a more affordable inferior, it ends up being a real odyssey where orienting yourself and eliminating different enemies in a row will be very difficult.
Without the help of a radar or a contextual map, without indicators that can show us the way or give us a little help (just talk to the characters we meet). With rest points that will restore already defeated enemies. The Acme Gamestudio company produces a colorful video game, Asterigos being a visually very pleasant game, and easy to play. Let’s see its story, gameplay, graphics and the final conclusion on Asterigos: The Curse of the Stars.

Story

We will put ourselves in the shoes of a redhead warriorcalled Hilda. A young woman belonging to a legion of warriors, of which her father is the leader.

We will begin with his disappearance and subsequent search. Little by little we will meet other warrior members of our northern legion. Characterized by blue clothes.

We will have to go to the city of Afes, to explore it in depth, the more than 20 great scenarios it has. And find out what decisions led our father to his enigmatic fate.

All these scenarios have a style of ancient Greecebut under a curse, and also strangely bound to the universe and stellar world. Enemies dressed as Romans and similar scenes at the Parthenon await us. We will have as a starting point the refuge, in which Minerva It will serve as a guide informing us of our current mission, as well as different secondary missions. We will find a friendly humanoid squirrel who will be our blacksmith or a character where we store objects and distribute our equipment.

gameplay

Asterigos It is a faithful successor of the Souls style, its mechanics drink directly from these titles. Apart from a few small differences such as the fact that you won’t lose the stardust earned (the game’s currency), in terms of handling and gameplay it’s identical.

It will remind us of other games like Star Wars: Fallen Order or The Surge. As in the latter, the triggers will be the action buttons.

We will have 6 types of weapons, which we will upgrade and improve: a sword and a shield, daggers, a hammer, a spear, bracelets and a magic staff. We are not finding new weapons, but we will improve and upgrade these 6 as we see fit.

In addition to balms like healing potions, throwing daggers, and other items; we will have at our disposal 4 magic skills. These 4 skills will pass our magic level which recovers quickly. We will acquire them very little by little during the game but they will be crucial in the battle. Having to use it multiple times in the dreaded final bosses. They are waiting for us more than 22 enemies with a fairly successful design and a colossal size. From a giant crocodile to an enemy bird whose feathers he throws deadly. This, yes able to kill us with a simple combo and we’ll have to sweat a few minutes. We will have a ‘dash’ movement as a dodge to help us.

Chart

Asterigos: The Curse of the Stars It does not make an impressive graphic display, less compared to other big productions, but the design of the bosses and the final characters are very successful. It is based on a character style of more childish characterizationa style that we could see in the redesign of the characters of GTA: The trilogy where we could see this funniest guy or called ‘tiny‘. The animations are also very successful, the movements of the various enemies, their Roman design and the final bosses, where the artistic design of the video game makes its maximum display. The scenarios will remind us at all times of the ancient Greecefind yourself in a world surrounded by white marble, long sewers, teaching academies (the Fargan Academy in the video game).

Conclusion of Asterigos: the curse of the stars

Asterigos: The Curse of the Stars is a video game that will greatly appeal to those who are attracted to video games from the ‘souls‘. They will have a real challenge ahead of them. Scenarios that you have to know by heart to know where an enemy hides behind the corner, trying to take on a group little by little and really difficult final enemies. Although the setting is more childish than those video games, it’s still very easy to die. It meets all the requirements of these video games, although graphically a step backwards. We will also meet many characters during our adventure, with long lines of conversation, although often without consequence. Asterigos however, it won’t attract everyone’s attention as much, and it won’t be enjoyable for those who aren’t fans of the work of Hidetaka Miyazakibecause they won’t find great special features or other benefits like in Ghost of Tsushima or Nioh.
