Soulslike Asterigos: Curse of the Stars Looks Fantastic in Gameplay Overview Trailer

I watched Joraptor’s (I think it was his I saw) video and came away impressed. It looks great and the combat appears to be fun. Plus, it’s not $70 so maybe I’ll get it Day 1. Very tempting

Hoping this one is a other underrated gem or better just like steel rising.

Looking forward to it!!

Always interested in new souls-likes and no different here. Though this one does look a wee bit cartoony… like a halfway house between Kena and From Software.

Plus it has difficulty options 😊

Yes please! Looks great.

Sadly, I have to disagree. It looks like a PS2 game and the main character walks like a pokemon character for some reason.

Yes. I'll be playing this day one. I have tried to find my next soulslike fix following Elden Ring, but so far it hasn't clicked for me. I like the look (and preview-reviews) of this one a lot.

@Sil_Am looks a bit childish / cartoonish but I believe such design has been chosen deliberately

N.i.c.e. it looks like immortals fenyx rising.it does looks good.asterigos curse of the stars looks impressive.word up son

The characters and enemies look great, though the environments are a bit bland. Will keep an open mind and hope to be pleasantly surprised.

Doesn't look souls like. More akin to immortals phoenix rising. A pick up at a deep sale for me.

@playstation1995 im curious.... what would get a 'word down?'

Yeah, I’m wondering exactly what “Soulslike” means now. This looks like a combat heavy action RPG with an emphasis on boss fights, but is that all it takes to be a Soulslike? I didn’t see anything about loss of progress upon death and having to return to the location of death to retrieve exp points, which to me is the more unique aspect of the Soulslikes. Difficult or tactical action-heavy combat RPG is really more of a general class that doesn’t differentiate from many other subgenres. Also, there’s a lot of magical power-ups, elemental attacks, and range attacks and large AOE attacks shown on the video, which isn’t what I’d call Soulslike, personally.

Regardless, I think it looks good. The art style is more Kena/Immortals like has been noted, and that’s fine. Will wait for reviews but glad to see a preview like this to increase awareness.

@Th3solution I think it is mostly about the combat system and progression path/upgrading systems for the character and weapons, both here look very similar to that of a souls game. I definitely know what you mean though

Don't know why but this game is giving me early PS4 gen vibes, and I mean that in a good way lol

Oh yeah, Iron Pineapple played the demo for this game and it seemed promising.

Looks more like an action RPG rather than a souls-a-like so that's a good thing.
I'm hoping for a similar experience to Fenyx as the sequel is quite some time away.

Any word if it’ll get a physical release?

This looks fantastic! I recently bought, played, and beat Steelrising (another soulslike) and loved it immensely. The combat in this game looks great, and seems to offer a lot of variety. I'm keeping my eye on this one and will definitely buy it if reviews are favorable.

I never heard of this one. Looks really nice and it's out next week.

@stvevan. Theres no word down dog.its word up all the time.queens new york represent.word up son

Soulslike has been used so loosely to describe such a wide variety of games that it is pretty meaningless as a descriptive term.

The combat in this looks interesting enough, though the environments look very bland. Looks good enough to be worth a rent before buying.
