What players think

The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.

Why players love itThings to know
100% of themes are praise300 helpful reviews0% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
108 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game is very well thought out, the builds via gear can get fairly in depth, but it also rewards those who can make the best out of what they are given, because the gear that shows itself is random by nature on which pieces you'll see.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's just enough build variety that the 20+ runs to endgame difficulty isn't that much of a slog and the auto-battles are quick to resolve so you never feel like you're spending too much time waiting (as opposed to playing).
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Like those games, Astronarch features a robust roster of characters to choose from to build your party.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Despite being super simple and pixelated, the visuals are incredibly charming and perfectly complement the game's whimsical tone.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game has a fun and easy to follow narrative that reflects itself in each area you go through, culminating in an epic encounter.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, there's a surprising amount of diversity in both playable classes and combat-able enemies.
