As you uncover the intriguing backstory behind the Titan, the tower, and the heroes.Īstalon: Tears of the Earth - Release Date TrailerĪs the first foray into the Astalon universe. This also means solving puzzles, finding artifacts, and progress through the game. Since you must utilize their unique skills to take down monsters. Players can switch between the three heroes in this singleplayer. While they work to conquer the mysterious Tower of Serpents in search of answers. Now the characters are granted the power to grow stronger each time they die. Having made a pact with the Titan of Death, Epimetheus. While working to save their town in a post apocalyptic world. From there I fought the undead bride again (this time being able to kill her) and got her cursed ring, which reveals rooms with hidden passages, making the exploration of the remaining rooms that much easier.Yes we do have Linux planned for release! Astalon: Tears of the Earth follows three unique warriors on a perilous mission. I immediately got on that task and discovered the Banish Spell, which allows Algus and Zeek to damage ghost-type enemies. There is a challenge where it requires to defeat the Black Knight after collecting 100% of the items and having the whole map revealed, so I'm guessing this is where the true ending is hidden. Even there you can see little details like Kyuli wearing her griffon boots. During said credits you can see what has happened with all the characters and how they saved their village. To my surprise Epimetheus does take Algus' soul and the homunculus didn't serve as a decoy, but you can see it in the end credits, so it may serve as a copy of Algus for future adventures. Defeating him makes the tower crumble, but not before he manages to throw one last shot at Algus. At one point he even fuses with the last Gorgon.

The fight with him had multiple phases and you'd need to utilise your party to its full potential. The final showdown against the Black Knight was at hand. This so far is my game of the year and that's saying something considering I've managed to play some pretty unique titles. You also have a lot of replayability with the alternate game modes giving you a different way to experience the game. The story is well told with the character interactions, which gives them distinct personalities. There's plenty of secrets to discover, which gives you a good sense of progression. The backgrounds deserve a special mention since they managed to achieve some striking images with the 8-bit aesthetic. The gameplay is responsive, the level design is superb and there's a huge variety of enemies and environments. He can't talk to Epimetheus for upgrades and I didn't see a way for him to recover health, so going through the tower with him will be a challenge.Īstalon Tears of the Earth is a fantastic game and an easy recommendation for any Metroidvania fan. This unlocked a new mode where you go through the tower with the Black Knight, who has a high jump, can throw energy balls at the cost of some HP and his sword can damage every enemy and destroy blocks. The ending was slightly altered by seeing Algus triumphantly return with the rest of the crew. This time around Algus did use the homunculus as his replacement to evade capture by Epimetheus, who despite being tricked found some respect for Algus' craftiness. Now having all the items and completing the map, I faced the final boss once more. The secret developer area is not part of the map completion. In my defence it was really hard to notice it and I thought the game glitched on me because it erroneously showed that I was missing an item in one of the rooms. Finally managed to discover a room I was missing to obtain 100% of the map.
