    Despite its lack of real consequences, Astrologaster is a lot of fun to play; the excellent writing and top-notch voice acting really bring this ridiculous concept to life. Yes, it’s a shame the player’s actions don’t make more of a difference, but Astrologaster is still worth going along with – especially if you want a unique look at 16th century London.

    In Astrologaster you play as an unlicensed doctor who helps his patients by seeking guidance from the stars. This visual novel is full of fun choices, characters, and songs, as well as cool spiritual aspects that will keep you somewhat entertained.

    Astrologaster is a light comedic take on Elizabethan England, with all of its nonsensical religious and social hang-ups exposed to ridicule. Occasional hints of more serious social commentary add some depth, but the astrology mechanism is under-utilised.

    An unusual setup, interesting characters and tongue-in-cheek writing make Astrologaster one of the most fun visual novels around. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    Wow did I not expect this story to have as much depth as it did. In all seriousness I bought this on The whim to have something casual andWow did I not expect this story to have as much depth as it did. In all seriousness I bought this on The whim to have something casual and easy going to kill time. The concept of this seemed stupid but I'd give it a shot. Turns out that the story delivered was just outrageously good. There's drama, back stabbing, affairs, wars, politics, etc. Etc. Just stuffed full of ideas and story telling that went above and beyond then the silt concept I bought this for. The humor was excellent too, like absolutely got a few chuckles out of me, what kept me though was the amazing characters and the quirky ways they were fleshed out through this silly game mechanic. For what this delivered it was excellent and far exceeded my expectation, what a creative way to deliver a story. Full Review »
