Most of them were uninteresting and bland when it came to both personality and design. The characters, however, are something that definitely needed more time in the oven. The heart of the story is the mystery and allure of the curse that happened upon this city, and Hilda’s quest to overcome it. Due to discovering some left behind clues, Hilda learns that her father is somewhere in Aphes.Īphes is a city that has been cursed with something that I’m not going to spoil here. Immediately, you get the sense of a young yet determined drive within her. You meet her as she is embarking on a mission to locate her father and his troops as they haven’t reported back to headquarters in three and a half months. In Asterigos, you play as a young and optimistic warrior of the Northwind Legion named Hilda. With the intro out of the way, let’s talk about what works and doesn’t with Asterigos: Curse of the Stars. It is stuck in the middle of being a mythology themed adventure filled with mystery and intrigue, and a Souls-like game filled with an emphasis on exploration and combat. What holds this game back is uniquely one of this game’s best qualities. Taking inspiration and admiration of Greek and Roman mythology, Asterigos has tons of potential yet doesn’t realize it. Showcasing elemental weaknesses and the ability to wield different weapon types had me hoping for a great build crafting adventure similar to the Souls’ games.Īfter finishing the game, it is heavily noticeable that Asterigos has a big issue on committing to what kind of game it wants to be. Sometime later the gameplay overview was released, and more details of the combat system were revealed. When I watched the official trailer a little over a year ago, my interest peaked at this title which presented itself as a fun, combative action-adventure game with Greek and Roman mythology inspired themes and visuals.
