Astalon: Tears of the Earth Out Now On PC And Consoles
/ Stephan ReillyAstalon: Tears of the Earth from LABS Works is out now on pretty much every console/system you can think of, including Steam, and Switch. Fom the creators of the 2015 indie hit Castle in the Darkness, the game is a 2D pixel action-platformer set in a post-apocalyptics desert:
Three heroic explorers wander the post-apocalyptic desert on a mission to save their village from despair. They soon find a dark, twisted tower that has risen from the depths of the planet and seemingly holds the key to their survival. In order to ensure their victory, one of them has made a secret pact with the Titan of Death, Epimetheus, allowing them to reincarnate until they have accomplished their mission. But what fate lies in store for the heroes and their village?
It seems to be an early hit with fans, as the game is enjoying over 50 reviews on Steam and marked as “very positive”. You can check out the trailer below:
