Undoubtedly the challenge comes from combat which is a turn-based scenario. Platforming isn’t remotely difficult, and even falling ‘to your death’ respawns you without penalty. The platforming sections are introduced early on, as are the numerous power rings you collect to help unlock areas by using the shoulder buttons. Speaking with NPCs is easy enough, as is movement, but when in the dungeons, this flat style proved me a bit of a headache when referring to the maps – I kept getting lost! Focus On The Review As mentioned, the hand-drawn art is pretty, but there’s only one axis to walk on – a 2D experience. Source: SteamĪt times the narrative was a bit of a nuisance, and I preferred to get stuck in on the action. They’re pretty unlikeable, and you soon find out they don’t like each other, either. Unfortunately, having your cake and eating it early on means that the focus on development is on the in-depth skill trees and later jobs, rather than the actual characters. There’s eight, and you’ve already collected them all. In short, the world is forged through Harmony and is protected by a group known as the demi-gods. The story in Astria Ascending is a common one and was somewhat forgettable. Though not fully voice acted, the talent is good, though playing in Japanese was interesting as there are so many foreign fantasy words that sound out of place. It’s an inviting, diverse world to play in. ’tis a minor criticism though, friends, as there’s no doubt about it, the characters and locations are beautifully illustrated. They tend to move like a two-legged centaur as well like they’re missing limbs. Yes, there’s that default gaming modification to resize the women’s chests, and they may be a bit scantily clad in places, but it wasn’t that what struck me but how the women have huge R Crumb Amazonian legs and the men have these stumps that seem to have been cut off. Animated, it was a little perplexing at first as you move so fast, and the characters’ anatomy is… odd.
ASTRIA ASCENDING FULL
If you look at the static images of the game, it’s fair to say that the artwork is impressive – reminiscent of the early Final Fantasy concept pieces, only in full colour. You don’t want to use a mouse to click on a ledge. Why is that? Perhaps that’s because of the simple setup of controls and active platforming in the world of Orcanon. Astria Ascending ReviewĪstria Ascending is a JRPGbest played with a controller. But never fear! With a little patience, you'll soon get your party into perfect fighting shape.Astria Ascending is such a big game, that due to my nature of fart-arsing about with side quests, the proposed 70 odd hours to finish the main quest and fetch shenanigans was a big ask with so many excellent titles this past week. This offers you a dizzying array of options and combinations, so much so that you might feel a little overwhelmed, especially since you can't re-select Jobs after they're assigned, which raises the stakes but also raises the game's replay value.
Though character Jobs have been part of RPGs since the original Final Fantasy, Astria Ascending deepens this common feature by giving each character a base Job at the start of the game, and then allowing you to choose a main Job to specialize in and a secondary Job to provide more active skills for each party member. One of these complexities is its take on the Job system. It features some gorgeous hand-drawn graphics, an involving and grown-up story, and a battle system that comes with several twists and complexities that build something new on the familiar turn-based foundation. Like Octopath Traveler or Bravely Default before it, Astria Ascending is the latest in the wave of classicist turn-based JRPGs that are competing for your time.
