New action RPG Asterigos: an adventure in a mythical setting
Taiwan-based developer Acme Gamestudio has unveiled the debut trailer for the action game Asterigos. The plot of the fantasy role-playing game takes place in an antique setting inspired by ancient Roman and ancient Greek architecture. The main character is a young girl named Hilda, a brave warrior from the Legion of the North Wind.
Looking for her missing father, she goes to explore the mysterious ruins of the cursed city Afes. There she will face many opponents, including huge otherworldly creatures.
The developers promise an interesting multifaceted narrative in which the decisions made will have a direct impact on the course of events and the fate of other characters, the possibility of free exploration of the world and flexible combat style customization.
For battles, the heroine will use six types of weapons: a sword with a shield, a spear, a hammer, daggers, magic bracelets and a magic staff. The level of difficulty of combat will be quite high, which has almost become the norm for modern role-playing games.
Asterigos is built in Unreal Engine 4. The release on PC and Playstation 4 is scheduled for the spring of 2022, but the game will reach the next generation consoles only in the fall of 2022.
