Hello! My name is Cheng Hsien Lin, I’m the Game Director at Acme Gamestudio and today I’d like to tell you more about our game Asterigos: Curse of the Stars.
This is a fantasy third person action RPG inspired by Greek and Roman mythologies. You play as Hilda – a brave young warrior from the Northwind Legion who embarks on a journey to the great City of Aphes in order to save her lost father, whilst discovering the truth behind the city’s curse.
The way Hilda fights is entirely tied to her character progression, and it’s fully adjustable to let players decide on their own combat style. The talent system allows you to pick and expand the way you fight by choosing two out of six completely different weapons on the go and mixing them as you wish. The gameplay elements are inspired by souls like games alongside a lighter, dynamic combat system, to create a fresh take on the modern action RPG genre, providing you with harmonious difficulty and exploration balance.
But let’s talk about everything in order!
Your journey starts in the magnificent ancient City of Aphes. From the mist-covered bazaar streets to gloomy sewers and deep chasms full of glittering crystals, the landscapes of Aphes are breathtaking and full of danger. You will be able to learn more about the city and the world in general by collecting various notes, visiting places of interest, interacting with locals, and reading through Hilda’s journal, which she’ll update throughout her journey.
