Of course, you could ignore the lore notes, but you can’t escape Hilda. There’s a fair amount of exposition thrown at you throughout. They also noted the narrative element, specifically the clumsy dialogue and heavy exposition and the mish-mash of voice-acted dialogue and text-only parts, which can jar when it comes to immersion.įor me, I felt it was a good introduction into the Souls-like genre for those put off by traditional mechanics, but once you do get to grips with the controls, the game lacks that punch in nuts that a lot of Souls-like have menace, tough but fair gameplay, strategic combat, that ‘one more try’ element and, the thing you’ll most likely argue: ambiguity. My colleague, let’s call them Master Destroyer, said Asterigos: Curse of the Stars plays like Elden Ring lite for kids, with a splash of Immortals Fenyx Rising. Unfortunately, that upbeat vibe comes from Hilda, and there’s something about her that resembles a Nickelodeon hero fused with a Dan Brown character that spells out every action and thought they partake in. In some respects, it’s a little like Submerged: Hidden Depths and has that ‘upbeat’ feel, despite the undesirables wanting to hit you with an axe. It’s from the paintbrush of cute and fantasy-like than the Lovecraftian aesthetics seen in Bloodborne. Presentation-wise, Asterigos: Curse of the Stars is pretty nice. However, there’s a fair amount to fight and uncover why trotting about (Hilda runs/floats like a naive, old-school Lara Croft), the locations, while pretty, are quite uninspired and a bit on the rails. It’s like Xuan-Yuan Sword 7, but also with the scattered pages detailing the lore and whatnot, comparable to Thymesia. In addition, Hilda wields magic by holding a shoulder button as the modifier. The controls are standard with light and heavy attacks, modified specials, stamina gauges and hotkeys for potions, other consumables and load-outs. For starters, difficulty levels make it easier, should you need it, and the progression tree and weapon upgrades ease you nicely – offering up a range of weapons early on in the game to get a feel for what suits your playstyle. It’s an action RPG far more accessible than a game like Elden Ring. She’s looking for her missing father, which equals fisticuffs, exploration, and bonfire equivalents for those incremental gains in the world of a Souls-like. You’re Hilda – a fusion of Link, Lara Croft and Merida from Brave, simply because she has ginger hair, and I didn’t lazily want to point to that bird from Horizon Zero Dawn. Source: PR Asterigos: Curse of the Stars Review A bit like a modern anime, the story is a mash-up of Greek and Roman myths, and what with the likes of AC: Valhalla and God of War, most gamers will be able to finger a god or two. That’s not entirely true, but let’s start with that as the foundation and (tiny)build our way up, then crush it with the impending doom of frequent deaths. Asterigos: Curse of the Stars is Acme Gamestudio’s answer to the Dark Souls series.
