This is clearly a dense world with all kinds of interesting potential, but it very much feels like Astria Ascending is the third or fourth entry in a long-running series. This entirely new world, complete with all kinds of races, rules, and Very Important Capitalized Words you aren’t privy to, is foisted upon you with hardly a word of exposition.įurthermore, all eight of the demigods are immediately introduced together after having served in their roles for almost three years, and you’re just kind of expected to infer how everyone knows and feels about each other. The world itself and the plot set within certainly seem interesting and original enough, but the main problem with Astria Ascending is that it doesn’t offer the player a very compelling way into this narrative. Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) Each of them represents one of the eight main races that live in Orcanon, and being a demigod brings with it great power and prestige, but there’s a slight catch: after three years, all the demigods die and are replaced by another eight that make up the next class. See, in Orcanon, the world is largely at peace because of a magical fruit called Harmelon that causes people to live in harmony with each other, but things naturally don’t always go according to plan, which is what the demigods are for. Astria Ascending takes place in the land of Orcanon, wherein you play as an ensemble cast of demigods called “The Fated Eight”.
