    I do not like the game. Very repetitive. No real variations in environment. No open world, more like tunneled levels. Exploration is therefore almost unnecessary, with only very few junctions. Graphics could be better overall, although i like the style (reminds me of "Immortals Fenyx Rising"). Story is uninspiring. The only thing that is endless here are the boring dialogs.

The only thing that is endless here are the boring dialogs. Feels like an MMO Asia grinder inside a single player experience. So beware, THIS IS NOT a ZELDA clone. i give it a "2" because of the ok graphics. I bought it cheap for about 10 $ and still think it was a little bit to much.… Expand

    Asterigos: Curse of the Stars is a great game off to a great start for Acme Gamestudio that leaves the door open for other future projects I would like to see from the studio as this one has turned out to be very rewarding for me. In short, we could say that this Souls-like is made for all those who love the genre along with a classic mythology that can attract a large audience.

    Asterigos: Curse of the stars: is a Souls-lite title that is fun, rewarding, and challenging. Furthermore, it has a fascinating story, and interesting characters, and is reasonably long. What's more, the atmospheric audio and fantastic environments make for a wonderful and fulfilling experience.

    With Asterigos: Curse of the Stars it can often feel like you’re doing one step forward and two steps back. The game has its moments of brilliance, both in gameplay and presentation, but often stumbles along the way. The combat feels satisfying, but the flexibility offered through the six different fighting styles is quickly limited through expensive upgrades and weapon-specific skill trees. Similarly while the game offers some cinematic and downright impressive views, especially during some of the bossfights, the vast majority of the Roman and Greek inspired city feels empty and repetitive, making exploration more of a chore than a highlight. Overall the lows and highs hold each other in balance, offering an enjoyable but mostly forgettable experience that, thanks to its solid combat, still counts among the better re-interpretations of the Dark Souls formula.
