It’s filled with compelling and surprising layered characters, each with their own motivations, histories and side quests to flesh out not just themselves but the world of Asterigos.Īphes is a city full of history, and there’s a ton of worldbuilding throughout conversations and many (over 250) richly detailed documents littered around the place. It’s also where it differs from the Souls game it clearly takes influence from: it’s a story-heavy game, and Asterigos kept me engaged through its entirety.

The Aphesians have been unable to age the entire time and have lived for hundreds of years under martial law. Upon entering, she finds that the city has been struck with the titular curse for the last thousand years. Set in the Greco-Roman-inspired city of Aphes, Asterigos: Curse of the Stars sees the player controlling Hilda, a young warrior following after her father and his band of men that entered the city but never returned.

It’s no secret that FromSoftware’s Souls series has had a massive effect on modern action RPGs.
