Astalon: Tears of the Earth is an 8-bit style Metroidvania for the Nintendo Switch (and other platforms like PC) that I am absolutely loving. The pixel art is fantastic, the sounds and music totally knock, and I'm having an absolute blast.
The story follows three heroes. Algus, the somewhat old (?) wizard, Kyuli the rogue, and Arias the swordsman. The three heroes enter an ominous structure known as The Tower of Serpents in order to find and eliminate the source of a mysterious poison that has been plaguing their village. Not the same Algus from Final Fantasy Tactics, thankfully.
Along the way, they encounter a powerful nefarious villain named The Black Knight, who seems to serve a higher evil.
SPOILERS AHEAD
The three heroes are slain by The Black Knight, but because of a pact made by Algus with the Titan of Death, Epimetheus, they are brought back to life. Arias and Kyuli have little memory of their slaughter at the hands of the evil villain The Black Knight.
One cool and unique aspect about this game is that all three heroes have a shared HP, and when you die, Epimetheus resurrects you. But you can also spend your collected Soul Orbs to purchase upgrades and new abilities.
In this episode, I purchase the Shock Field upgrade for Algus, which boosts his damage significantly. I also get a couple other things such as a Gorgon Eye (Red) and I forget what else.
Anyway, watch me play Astalon: Tears of the Earth! It's awesome. Made by LABSworks and Dangen Entertainment.
