Legends of Astravia, a First crack Friday Early Look!
Awakening in a forest, a man named Oliver has no idea where they are, or even WHO they are. Luckily, they're not alone: A robed man named Azel is there to help. Or... At least to keep Oliver alive, provided the freshly-awakened man can keep up. And protect himself. And not ask so many questions...
Legends of Astravia is an indie RPG that makes great use of music and sound to set moods, has incredible art, an intriguing story, and a really interesting skill and battle system that combines turn-based menus (albeit selected in a different way) with needing to make decisions at a quick pace. I never thought mechanical skill and quick thinking would be needed in an RPG like this, but I'm pleasantly surprised by it in this game.
And even playing through this demo twice and editing this video, I'm still not sure what it was about this game that made me have that "this game hits different" moment I was trying to describe in the beginning. All the games I've played for the First Crack series are genuinely awesome and I love them (otherwise I wouldn't do videos on them :P), but something about how things came together in this one just clicked with me in an unexpected way. It's like the art, music, and gameplay are all just right to hit what I've been looking for in a game and didn't know it. And I think it's so hard to explain because that combination is going to be different person to person, but I feel like I have to try to explain because... reasons, I guess :')
