What can I say about ASTRA?
The game is extremely jank, and you can piss on things to kill spirits and the like. If that's something you will find funny, you might be the kind of person who'd play this game. It's not a very GOOD game, but there's some fun here.
The videos are exactly what you see in the trailer. There is basically one small box area with one village, one castle, and a little valley? There's not enough and you can go from left to right with less than a minute. These places also have some smaller dungeons to fight in, and honestly they don't take you much time on them. There's one place to buy items from people with like, 5 items. I could take a few more words about this, but you get the idea. It's not a lot here.
Fighting is extremely simple, as the enemy AI is simple as well. One will either walk towards you, stop, attack, redo. The other will stand there and send you a project at you. That's it.
The graphics are also old, something around the Quake era though not as well as done. You can see what they're trying something, but it's not done well. Don't watch the game to expect it to look good. Look at the trailers again and you'll see what you're getting here.
There's probably a bit more you could see about this game, but I've already written more in my review now, so the rest you'll just have to play it for yourself. Or not.
As of this, I haven't played their extra patch content yet, but I might just pass.

If you’d like to see the game in motion through my eyes, [url=https://kuoushi.com/videos/astra/]take a look at this complete archive of me playing it[/url] here. It should give you a good idea of how the game plays and what to expect.
At the start you're hit with a character creator that makes you select your pronouns even though they aren't mentioned anywhere in the game. There's also graffiti behind a building in the beginning area that says free Palestine with their flag.
This immediately sets the tone for where the developer's priorities are at as frankly I'd give this game a low rating even if it was a free game, let alone a paid one.
No key mapping. No inherent fullscreen resolution. No visual or audio feedback to show that your melee attacks connected with an enemy or prop. Minimal story conveyed only through scattered texts. Lack of weapon and enemy variety. Barely an hour worth of content at a slow pace.
I'll admit I found the visuals charming and the sound design was good but those alone don't make this worth paying for.
A fun time. 10000/5 stars
incredibly fun to speedrun.
i came
another sweet game. makes me want to go back and finish gor3 (i have a skill issue). a lotta people seem to call these games ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ which i think is kinda rude. I think these games are good and i look foreward to seeing more from you in the future <3
ASTRA fixes almost all of the issues I had with GOR3 and Devinica. More content, actually somewhat engaging combat, and a very fun artstyle. The sword combat was a good move, though I will say the projectile attack takes too long to recharge, I believe it takes a full minute to do so. There are only like 3 projectile enemies in the whole game, so it's not the biggest deal, but it's undeniably annoying. Also the red enemy projectiles have a damn-near unavoidable hitbox. Anyway, the quests are fun, but I wish they were longer and that there were more of them. Maybe the caves and dungeons could be larger and more challenging to traverse. If you're speedrunning, the game currently takes about 3 minutes to complete. It's short, but I have faith that this game could someday be super expansive, with several towns and hundreds of fun quests. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but I am very excited for this game's future and any future games from the developers. However, I must mention that there is often a glitch where the boss freezes in place when you summon him, he won't fire at you at all. Also, there are a few minor geometry bugs where I've fallen out of the map or gotten stuck while dashing. Despite the flaws and jank, I very much recommend this game. A jolly good time
I nominate this one for GOTY
this sure is a video game as they calls it
Szajs. Lubię gry retro, stylizowane graficznie na PSX, ale ta jest po prostu słaba. Tragiczna walka, wykonywanie skoków wygląda jakby menel napruty skakał na jednej nodze. Raz nawet wypadłem poza tekstury albo też wpadłem pod budynek, z którego nie było wyjścia. Do tego jeszcze dziwna klawiszologia i nagle kończąca się muzyka. Kupiłem za niewiele ponad 2 zł a i tak nie warto.
Fun!
Genuine Garbage
peak!
the best part of ASTRA was when John Astra said “IT’S ASTRIN’ TIME” and gor3d all over those guys
love
Cinematic. Kino is back. When this game came out i instantly kasploogied all over the place with the cinematic exigence of the main character (Jimnothy Astra)'s catchphrase: "Its Astra a Gor3 prequelin' time!". Any true glunguscel must purchase. 10/10 you kill jfk
A short janky mess of a game that reminds me of Morrowind, but i liked it. controls were weird and the mechanic to banish the boss didn't work as well as i would have liked but i still recommend it.
honestly not bad, and the boss reveal is really good especially with the music. I still cant figure out the hidden achievement though.
