Each of the three characters has their own distinct way of attacking: Arias has a melee attack with his sword, Kyuli fires a high-speed arrow across the entire width of the screen after a momentary wind-up and Algus has a quick to fire but relatively short range magic missile. You might have to leave the screen and return by another route to reach the object or switch you require, but the actual solution to each of the game’s environmental puzzles can pretty much always be found in the same room as the puzzle itself.Īs you progress through the world of Astalon: Tears of the Earth, you’ll encounter various types of enemies. This is a distinctly old-school piece of game design, but it’s also convenient for the player - if you see, say, a barricade that you can’t get past, then the means of getting past that barricade is always on the same screen. Rather than making use of scrolling environments, you progress through Astalon on a room-by-room basis, which allows each new screen to feel like it has its own distinct, self-contained challenges. Particularly in a game like this, which is most certainly not afraid to knock you around a bit.Īstalon: Tears of the Earth unfolds as an exploration-centric platform game. The fortunate side-effect of said pact is that until Algus fulfils his mysterious promise to Epimetheus, all three heroes will be able to come back from the dead as many times as they need to in order to explore the tower fully. Naturally, things aren’t quite that simple we learn almost immediately that Algus has, unbeknownst to the other two, made a pact with Epimetheus, the Titan of Death, for reasons initially known only to himself. And they fully intend to investigate it - hopefully putting a stop to this environmental menace in the process. Three plucky heroes - armoured warrior and heir to the Crystal Sword Arias, curvaceous rogue Kyuli and mysterious wizard Algus - have arrived at a mysterious tower that they believe to be the source of the water pollution that blights the world.
