Where does the time go? Asterigos: Curse of the Stars was released a year ago, and, fittingly enough, just got a meaty patch in the form of a free Anniversary Update, and we've got the trailer to prove it.
Included in the update are a swathe of bug fixes and tweaks, but the big-ticket item here is the new Gauntlet of the Stars challenge mode, which allows players who have beaten the game to face a worthy challenge: a boss rush gauntlet of 20 foes across four gruelling encounters. Players that manage can attempt the game's ultimate challenge, the Test of Endurance, which is the Gauntlet of Stars as a single encounter, with a limited poop of consumable items to use. Victory will reward players with the mythical Gladiatrix Battlegear.
A more approachable Souls-like Asterigos follows the tale of Hilda as she explores a world inspired by Greek and Roman myth. It currently enjoys Very Positive reviews on Steam. It could be a nice snack between more demanding game releases.
Khayl Adam is the second best video game journalist Australia has ever produced, and his ambitions of world domination have (thus far) been curbed by the twin siren songs of strategy games and CRPGs. He has always felt an affinity for the noble dachshund, the best kind of dog.
Nice! I didnt finished this due to a big move at the time and never came back to it. However, it was a decent indie title with good combat and lore. Nice to see the free update. I'll finish it up eventually.
I've had my eye on this for a while. Good to see it get long term support.
«A limited poop of consumables...»
