When you rest at a campfire, there is always a good bit of dialogue in which the personality of the characters is shown off, and the story/lore is expanded on. It's not going to win any awards for this, but there is definitely more of a story here than most indie MV's. SOME EMPHASIS ON STORY AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT The first few provided a nice challenge, but a lot of the rest fall way too quickly. The boss fights are fun and challenging, as each boss has multiple attacks and phases.ĮDIT: Now that I’ve seen more bosses, unfortunately a lot of them are pushovers.
It is very satisfying once you do create a shortcut to a later part of the area. And shortcuts are creatively included - as a lot of them can only be unlocked with one of the three characters. The map is sized perfectly with around 10+ areas, and a TON of secrets to find. GOOD SIZED MAP, TONS OF SECRETS, SHORTCUTS
#Astalon tears of the earth red keys upgrade
This challenge makes the upgrade system more enticing, and more rewarding once you do get stronger. The fact that healing items are few and far between was a great choice IMO. It isn't overbearingly difficult, but it's no cake walk. To me, the challenge level is perfect in this game. When you can actually LOOK FORWARD to dying in a game, I feel this is a brilliant mechanic. Being able to collect orbs to increase my Attack, Defense, Attack Speed (amazing addition!), Health, and unlock new attacks is possibly the main reason I love this game so much. To me, there is nothing more satisfying than a challenging game that gives you the option to become stronger with upgrades after each death.Īnyway, Astalon offers this type of upgrade system, but in a FULL, proper MV. The reason is because I am addicted to the rogue-lites with a permanent upgrade gameplay loop. Two of my favorite Rogue-Lites of all time are Rogue Legacy and Hades. I haven't finished it, but I have played enough so far to gauge it. But this is the first great one I've played personally. To be fair, 2021 has been very weak thus far for MV's, and games in general. Picked this up the other day and it's easily my MVOTY so far.
