    Asterigos: Curse of the Stars is just plain fun. It's a solid, enjoyable and well put-together action-adventure game where my biggest complaints are largely nitpicks and a few qualms about the exploration. Sure, you can point to various things it was inspired by, but it manages to stand out on its own merits, and it's an enjoyable experience. The distinct art style and combat help it define itself, and the story is engaging enough to keep you interested. It's well worth a look if the concept remotely interests you.

    Asterigos: Curse of the Stars is an excellent adventure game. It has a likeable protagonist, an interesting world, and satisfying combat.

    This is definitely a title made with a lot of love and attention to detail, and while it’s hardly a flawless production, I think it’s worth checking out for people who sit on either side of the fence. If you’ve always wanted to love a Soulslike title but never quite got there, this might help get you over the hump; if you love them but don’t mind something being a bit more Souls-lite, this will delight you. It’s not going to make it on to my short list of worthy Game of the Year contenders, but it’s a solid outing all around, and that’s not nothing.

    While there are some notable flaws and shortcomings, Asterigos: Curse of the Stars does manage to entertain and provide the necessary thrills.

    While Asterigos has excellent graphics and music, basic elements like the combat system feel cheap, making the package as a whole feel like an unbalanced Soulsborne title.

    Asterigos: Curse of the Stars does everything discreetly, but nothing really well. It is a full-bodied production in practice, because it combines an extended narrative with a playful system full of interesting features. However, his very appreciable desire to be easily usable is not able to combine a good underlying complexity. The simplicity and immediacy of the individual game elements often represent more of a limit than an added value, with the adventure that just can't shake off that feeling of enjoyable but inconsistent lightness.

    Overall, Asterigos: Curse of the Stars is a passable quality experience that excels when it leans into its Monster Hunter/Dauntless-esque multiphase boss fights, interspersed with more solitary bouts of exploration and subsequent discovery. Had the developers leaned further into this hypothetically simplified formula, while offsetting it with the existing rich and dense progression system, Asterigos could have proved its mettle as a more-than-worthy contender in the market. However, its poor control responsiveness, its often-needlessly ham-fisted approach to forcing linearity where it's not needed, and its debatable narrative quality, also collectively hold it back from reaching its full potential.

I gave it 10 toIn short, this game is definitely worth playing for any action game fan in general (not just soulslike) but it's not 10/10. I gave it 10 to offset all the rated 0 reviews from idiots who keep complaining about the key bindings which I am pretty sure will be fixed very soon by the dev team. Given this is from a indie Taiwanese dev, it's actually more fun and polished than many action games I have played recently (Soulstice, Valkyrie Esylum)… Expand

    This is for sure one of the better souls-likes. I do not care about the story or the at times cringe dialog.

    I recommend playing it on hardest and choosing gamepad layout C as a Souls player. I had my challenge with some bosses so far. Fighting system feels great and is fun.

    The backtracking and Side quests are annoying to me without a map and a quest marker. This game is not so serious, and therefore it should not copy all the souls tropes IMO.

    Imagine playing this kind of game without a gamepad and giving it a 0 rating because you can not rebind keys. Seriously! And BTW, you can use steam to rebind EVERYTHING, no need for the game to support it.    … Expand

    the game is alright

    the gameplay and fluidity of the weapon swapping are great but that is about it the story is alright nothing you    the game is alright

    the gameplay and fluidity of the weapon swapping are great but that is about it

    the story is alright nothing you havent seen before but certainly not AAA material or even AA

    the worst thing about the game is you have to go to a loading screen go up to the storage chick to get any items you have used so far

    and than go back through another loading screen

    this is simply unacceptable and there should be no reason to not just fill up your items on death instead of this horrible system and I'm willing to say whoever thought this was a good idea should be fired/never work in gaming again

    before you say "git good" everything isn't very hard and its actually quite easy at times but stiff movements from enemies and walking mundane like towards you while also being janky as hell is not a good way to make a game    … Expand
