Astrea is a DICE-deck-building roguelike that flips the script on deckbuilders by using dice instead of cards and an unique dual “damage” system: Purification vs Corruption. Build a dice pool strong enough to purify Astrea's out-of-control corruption and save the Star System.
• Unique dual “damage” system: Purification vs Corruption - In Astrea there is a new type of “damage” system. Purification can be used to damage enemies or heal yourself. On the other hand, corruption can be used to damage yourself or heal the enemies. Pacify enemies through Purification, or Corrupt yourself to unleash abilities that help tip the scales.
• Dynamic Health Bar system - With skills attached to your health bar, you can take Corruption to enable these skills and unleash powerful abilities. But be careful, if you take too much Corruption you will be consumed by it.
• Not cards, but dice! - Build a dice pool that fits your playstyle. Choose from over 350 dice and three dice types; reliably safe, perfectly balanced, or powerfully risky. A dice type system designed with high-risk, high-reward in its core.
• Customize your dice - Forge your fate by editing die faces with new actions, tipping the odds of powerful results into your favor.
• Choose from Six Brave Oracles - Each possessing their own unique dice sets, abilities, and playstyles. From ingenious spellcasters to brutish berserkers, whether you like beating the opponent into submission or outsmarting them with clever plays, there’s an oracle for you.
• 20 Upgradeable Support Sentinels - Enchanted constructs that offer supportive dice rolls making them reliable companions in the heat of battle.
• Uncover Over 170 Modifying Blessings - Imbue your Oracle with unique passives yielding potent effects that change up your fundamental tactics. Choose between Star Blessings, passive effects with lower power, or Black Hole Blessings, powerful passive effects with a drawback.
• More than 20 random events - Find mysterious locations that can change the course of your run.
• Manipulate your enemies and control your fate - Enemies attack using their own die, making it possible for you to manipulate their die to change their intent.
• 16 Difficulty Levels - Customize your experience using difficulty levels to test all your abilities.
Long ago - when ancient ruins were once flourishing civilizations and their populace lived in idyllic bliss - a mystical star governed all. Loyal disciples, called Six-Sided Oracles, were blessed by their star, granting them the strength to seal away the gift of heavenly bodies within mystic relics.
All was perfect and harmonious, until that one fateful day - The Crimson Dawn Cataclysm. A ferocious inferno sundered down from the sky, engulfing the entirety of the star system, crumbling the foundations of their society and corrupting the souls of the weak-willed. The disciples of the star were lost to the chaos - their creations scattered across a vast world of ruin. Could there still exist those who were capable of wielding their power?
Eons later, descendants of the Six-Sided Oracles embark on a journey to finish the failed battle that their predecessors started and save their star system.
I didn't expect it to be this good, but it's very fun to play casually. Originally, I had bought it mostly for the art, but after unlocking every character I ended up playing it on repeat whenever I want to play a chill game.
The gameplay can be as simple or as complicated as you like it. There is a lot of variety between the characters and the builds you can end up with on individual runs. You can lean more on RNG or hedge the risk based on the characters, and dice and permanent effects you collect.
I'll say it again, the characters have very different playstyles from each other. Each one has unique mechanics, unique dice that you encounter during the run, and unique effects. The variety of builds is crazy and it is the biggest reason why the game is so replayable. The second reason for replayability are the "new game+" settings.
The art style is awesome, the sound effects are really good, and the dice animations are beautiful and to the point.
Overall, it's a joy to play, 10/10 casual game.
Pretty damned fun! If you like deck-building roguelikes this may well be your jam! Personally I love Slay the Spire and Across the Obelisk but this is certainly up there! The different strategies are simultaneously in your face but take effort to make engines from.
This is a wonderful game wherein you need to balance the reward of high risk vs. predictability. Lots of replay value here with each Oracle providing unique mechanics to master, and there is a reasonable, gradual ramping up of difficulty. It's tough but fair, although sometimes you will curse your luck.
Graphically it's beautiful, the colors bright and vivid, but what I would like to call out specifically is the music. The music is excellent.
Well-orchestrated arrangements provide equal amounts of wonder and somber urgency. Rafael Langoni should be commended for capturing the spirit of the game so perfectly with his work.
