Asterigos: Curse of the stars (a short review)

it's fun!

Decided to play one of the games I have in my backlog that I got on so many of a steam sales. This one's called Asterigos: curse of the stars. it's a soulslike-ish game and by that I mean the game is more forgiving to your mistakes, even at a normal difficulty level. think of old ps2 action platformers where you can take on hordes of enemies without breaking a sweat. the atmosphere, lore and plot is reminiscent of Bloodborne dipped in Greco-Roman culture with a splash of Pixar animation. it's not a horror game like bloodborne, but there are similarities in its atmosphere and premise. it's about a city trapped in time due to a Curse from overuse of a macguffin. it has rendered everyone practically immortal but are now in constant need of said macguffin (bloodborne has blood, asterigos have starites) to sustain themselves or face insanity through extreme pangs of hunger until they themselves turn to stardust. it's not outright horrific from the offset but in concept it's a real horrorshow. there's even werewolves in Asterigos! you get to play as a lone warrior in Hilda (a Pixar/Disney 3D princess design which is nice) whose looking for her father, who was sent by her country's king to investigate what happened to the legion, in which her father belonged to, that was sent earlier. their mission was to find a way in in Asterigos and find out why the city had been cut off from the rest of the world for a millenia. At first blush, when I tried the demo during a steam next-fest, I wasn't exactly blown away by the game and found the gameplay middling (still is) but the more i played it, the more i began to enjoy this weird little anomaly of an indie game. I would like to say pick it up to support the game devs but i'll be a hypocrite to not disclose that I got it at a deep discount. so whichever route you choose, i think it would be wise to check this game out. I give it a 7.5/10.
