Description
You are Roy Becket, a young pilot with dreams of becoming as skilled as his adoptive father. When a galactic war with an ancient mechanical alien race reaches its boiling point, Roy is forced to spring into action and take control of an otherworldly bipedal war machine in hopes of saving what's left of humanity.
Joining Roy is a young girl who claims to have escaped the clutches of the nefarious aliens. Forever altered through horrible experimentation, she now possesses the very abilities humanity will need to push back the doomsday clock.
Together, they must battle an unrelenting army alone and reunite their shattered family.
The End of All Things is in sight. At the edge of eradication stands Astebreed.
Lovingly crafted 3D models, cutting edge particle effects, and beautiful Japanese mecha designs
Your enemies swarm, fly and intercept, and Astebreed's dynamic perspective always keeps the action in view.
Roy's mech can shoot from a distance, paint targets for precision homing attacks, and even get close for a killing blow with a powerful blade attack.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
but i has no automatic fire... you have to press the controller-button for every shoot - 1 million times.
for me this makes the game unplayable for longer time because my hands begin to hurt after 15 minutes pressing the same button again and again.
the game itself is very good and i would have given it a better score.
if you do not have the same problem playing than i have - please buy the game. you will have very much fun playing it.
Edelweiss was always known for its innovative imagination of the shooter genre. Ether Vapor showed how to make a simple shmup/shoot 'em up/STG more dynamic than most of the 3D TPS space games.
It was never officially stated if AsteBreed is a sequel for Ether Vapor, a separate game set in the same universe, or just a completelly different game. The setting is quite similar: you have an awesome machine below you equiped with the most unique devices you just can find in the world. There are no power-ups, different weapon pick-ups, neither limited bombs to clean the mess you left behind. Instead you use a fully equiped, developed and configurated machine that have different weapons you can use/switch between anytime, as well an option to charge the attacks for unleashing a super attack.
AsteBreed is a prototype alien mech created by the Filune features the "Lucis" which are the core of the gameplay. While having them around you it increase your firepower, but you can lock-on the mass of targets to send the Lucis away to attack them separately. This however decrease your own firepower. There is two way of locking on. The wide-spread fire lock on all around your mech at a limited distance with decreased lock-on speed. The focused fire lock on a much tighter line but all the way to the screen border. While the amount of Lucis on a single target is limited, there is no limit for the on-screen amount.
Other than the basic fire and the advanced Lucis, you have a broadsword. It deal very high amount of damage and capable of destroying non-beam type projectiles. It has a basic combo and a dashing strike which grants you a very limited invulnerability.
There is no bomb, but you have an EX attack. It recharges over time and once ready you can unleash it. It have three different way of use, so keep trying new things.
AsteBreed is a beautiful game with equally quality BGM and dynamic prespective changing. No matter which genre you like, it worth a try.
I've played a lot of shoot em up games before this one and I feel nothing. It's almost there the feeling is moving around but nothing makes me feel that adrenaline to go faster or stronger to survive. That is here somewhere but it's very weak. I feel nothing like I was hoping for. It's not bad. But it feels like your not fully in control of your movement. It just something I can not recommend
