2D Exploration and PuzzlesĪstria Ascending is set completely on the 2D plane and outside of battles, you explore the world much like a platformer. Since you can’t skip dialogue instantly it kinda slows the pace down and is a real pain if you want to just stick to subtitles like I mostly do when playing games like this during nighttime sessions. When each character finishes a line of dialogue there is a second or two pause before the next character speaks. Demi-Gods assembleĪnother small critique is the pace of the story. This is nothing new for RPGs but it feels like focusing on just four rather than eight might have given more space for each character to shine. The story is pretty decent but doesn’t offer anything particularly new and it feels like you have too many characters in your party. Instead character development is drip-fed over the course of the game, acting as a fairly nice break after raiding a dungeon and dealing with a tough boss fight. You aren’t just bombarded with too much story too early.
The game wastes very little time in jumping into actual gameplay which feels quite refreshing. What I instantly liked about this game is unlike so many RPGs it doesn’t dwell too long on introductions. The story of the game is based around a crew of 8 demi-gods known as the ‘Fated Eight.’ Basically, they protect the world of Orcanon and travel round the land sorting out problems for the town folks, hunting down ancient beasts and of course protecting the realm from chaotic threats that could spell doom for everyone. But is the game more than just a verified pretty appearance? Let’s dive in and find out. What will most likely turn heads to this title is its utterly gorgeous art style. But the appealing thing about playing an RPG on the Nintendo Switch is the ability to dip in and out of the experience swiftly thanks to the system’s standby feature.
This is a new RPG entering the genre with a classic feel to it, a style of which there is no shortage of on the Nintendo Switch.
