Astor: Blade of the Monolith is well worth a play. It isn’t often I finish a game and then go straight back into New Game +, but this is one that will tempt you. There are annoyances, but the action and the story are both good enough to ensure this is a recommendation.

Astor: Blade of the Monolith delivers an action RPG experience that captivates players from start to finish. The seamless switching between weapons adds a layer of depth to the combat, allowing for strategic and satisfying battles against hordes of enemies. As players uncover the mysteries of Gliese and confront its haunting evil, they are treated to a satisfying conclusion that rewards their perseverance and exploration. I would highly recommend checking this little game out, as you’ll totally get lost in the action and won’t want to put the controller down.

While it doesn’t rewrite the history books of gaming, Astor: Blade of the Monolith is a solid first outing for C2 Game Studio. The combination of a great combat loop with fantastic visuals is a winner, and although the story is a bit devoid of substance, is still an entertaining tale. This is certainly a game the devs can build upon, with potential shining through.

Astor: Blade of the Monolith is shaping up to be an absolutely amazing RPG, aside from that one major flaw with combat. If you can look past the issue at hand, there’s a magical world that’s just waiting to be explored and secrets to discover throughout its rich story, and let’s not forget the mountains of side quests just waiting to be conquered. There’s without a doubt great potential and with a few minor changes or some extra polish, this game can easily become a hidden gem.

Astor: Blade of the Monolith reflects one of the coolest aspects of video games as a medium with a deep history of iteration. You can take a familiar set of concepts, add new context, and come up with something that stands on its own rather than feeling like a ripoff. Astor does this with an impressive sense of knowledge and understanding of not only Zelda-style exploration, but character action-style combat. The latter is much more niche and specialized, therefore harder to pull off. It’s not quite a bullseye, but gets respectfully close and has me curious about further updates, as well as what this studio does next. Astor: Blade of the Monolith is available on May 30, 2024 for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and PC.
