New Fire Emblem-Inspired RPG Arrives This February - Demo Available Now
I talked about Astral Throne back in September, though it feels like much less time has passed. This game borrows its combat system from Fire Emblem while introducing a much more dynamic single-player campaign filled with Roguelite elements. It’s called Astral Throne, developed by Zero Sun Games, and it’s gearing up for release next month on PC.
Astral Throne is a Roguelike Strategy RPG that combines tactical combat with procedural design and player-driven choices. Set in a land cursed by Stardust from a fallen star, the game challenges players to build and lead a party of heroes through handcrafted encounters and dynamically shifting overworld maps. Core gameplay focuses on synergizing character classes, utilizing the weapon and magic triangles, and navigating the risks of permadeath to secure victory.
As said in the intro, the game roguelite-nature emphasizes replayability through its procedurally generated maps, recruitable characters, and varied outcomes based on player decisions. Party customization is highly flexible, offering the ability to adjust skills, equipment, and strategies between runs and an evolving story that adapts to your choices and a suite of difficulty modifiers for tailored challenges.
