Our take on Asteria

Asteria combines platforming with sandbox systems, but that breadth shifts attention away from a tightly focused platforming experience. Players who want to concentrate on traversal may find the mining, crafting, building, and gear collection competing for their time.

What is Asteria?

Asteria is a fast-paced platformer set on a sci-fi world where terrain and objects can be destroyed, mined, collected, and crafted.

Players control Ryker, the only surviving human colonist, stranded after local aliens wiped out the colony. The story centers on building a safe haven and pursuing those aliens. Exploration includes 9 handcrafted dungeons to discover and conquer. Mining and combat use ranged tools, and the gear collection includes 100+ items across 9 tiers. Inventory is described as a 900-slot hypercube with unlimited stack amounts. The game also includes Creative Mode, multiplayer, and support for community mods.
