Our take on Asterigos: Curse of the Stars
The focus on action RPG combat and exploration leaves less room for a purely stealth-led or dialogue-led experience. The structure also asks players to engage with side quests, collectibles, additional modes, and repeated combat rather than only the central story.
What is Asterigos: Curse of the Stars?
Play as Hilda, a Northwind Legion warrior searching for her lost father in Aphes, a city inspired by Greek and Roman mythology.
Explore interconnected maps, hidden paths, forests, sewers, bazaars, and crystal-filled chasms while uncovering the city’s curse. Combat draws on soulslike games and lets Hilda equip two of six weapon types: sword and shield, dual blades, spear, hammer, staff, or magic bracelets. The main story and side quests include more than 60 enemy types and 22 bosses. Conversations, documents, cinematics, and Hilda’s diary reveal Aphes’s history, while decisions affect the story. The game also includes over 100 collectibles, side quests, New Game+ mode, and the Gauntlet of the Stars boss-rush mode.
