    This rpg is so exceptionally paced and designed that its poor storytelling doesn’t play a factor.

    Ex Astris is a truly impressive premium mobile RPG that really breaks the mold. Nostalgic yet fresh, this brilliant little gem combines a stunning world, deep lore, lovable characters, and an intricate turn-based-meets-real-time combat system, making for a truly striking experience that is well worth the entry fee.

    Ex Astris is a premium mobile RPG with a one-of-a-kind mix of real-time and turn-based combat. The lack of controller support can be a bummer, and the complicated combat mechanics take some getting used to. But if you're tired of your typical gacha game, this compelling single-player title can be a complete steal.

    The playtime is relatively short, and the story is perplexing with Hypergryph-style terms and an ambiguous narrative. However, the combat design that breaks away traditional turn-based RPG frame makes the game exceptional enough to overlook the issues with the narrative.

    Normally, games in a state like this leave me middled more than anything, but Nous Wave Studio’s first attempt at a premium, stand-alone JRPG in a gacha-saturated market, while a bold move, was a fruitful one. While the characters definitely need more seasoning and flavor, I especially would like to see the worldbuilding done a bit more elegantly than just dropping hot loads of info shovelfuls at a time. Yet, for all the problems I had with the worldbuilding and characters, the combat and general gameplay can carry Ex Astris alone. The visuals are stunning for a mobile game, the mechanics and systems baked in are so much fun, and the overall aesthetic designs of the world of Allindo are vibrant and unique. While off to a slightly rough start, I feel confident in saying that Nous Wave Studio’s first release has a lot going for it that makes it worth experiencing for fans of the anime RPG genre.
  7. Ex Astris is a very solid start for Nous Wave Studio and worth picking up for anyone willing to sink their teeth into a deep combat system on the go or wanting to experience a mobile JRPG without the gacha looming in the background.
