Astalon: Tears of the Earth is a 2021 Canadian video game by LABS Works, published by Japanese publisher Dangen Entertainment. The game's plot revolves around a fighter named Arias, an archer named Kyuli, and a wizard named Algus. The three are on a quest to save their home village from despair as most of the land has turned to desert from the atrocities of an ancient war.

Gameplay
Astalon: Tears of The Earth is an action-platformer and Metroidvania game. The player can switch freely between three characters to use the unique abilities of a warrior, archer and wizard to explore a giant tower and defeat the Gorgons that inhabit it.

Development
Astalon: Tears of The Earth began development in 2016 but was a project that was re-started several times during production. Art and Game Designer Matt Kap was joined in 2018 by Game Programmer Jon Lepage to work on the game together up until the very end. Game developer Matt Kap stated that the first prototype had room-by-room exploration with only one playable character. The second prototype introduced the 3 characters while the third prototype was closer to the completed game.
