    Astria Ascending has the makings of a great game, but it falls short on several fronts. A version of the game that started out at an earlier point in the story, in order to gradually introduce each character and their abilities, would have helped smooth the transition into the main quest. A number of QoL improvements, especially related to the speed of the battles, would also drastically improve the gameplay. As it stands, Astria Ascending feels like a throwback to a different era, while needlessly ignoring the modern conveniences that have improved the genre in the time that has passed since then.

Great gameplay, interesting story written by Nojima, a fantastic mini-game that will remind you of Triple Triad, lots of side quests, and a really in-depth job system. Reviews might be all over the place, but definitely give it a try yourself.… Full Review »
