Action-RPG Asterigos Looks Like a Lite Version of Immortals: Fenyx Rising, Headed to PS5 and PS4

Acme Gamestudio has announced a new high-fantasy action role-playing game, Asterigos, for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 among other platforms. You’ll be forgiven for thinking it’s an expansion of Immortals: Fenyx Rising.

Asterigos is a 3D RPG set in a fantasy world inspired by ancient Rome, where a warrior named Hilda is trying to track down her lost father. She stumbles upon a cursed city along the way, witnessing its rise and fall, while facing “difficult choices which will shape the entire kingdom’s fate.”

Features include:

  • Exploration – Explore Aphes, the fallen city of the stars. Dive into the truth of history and restore it back to its former glory.
  • Challenge – The cursed beasts ravage across the realm. Arm with the power of gods to defeat them.
  • Storytelling – A story told from different perspectives. Hilda’s choices will determine the fate and outcome of everyone.

“Hilda’s combat options are heavily tied to her character progression,” Acme wrote on the PlayStation Blog. “The talent system allows you to pick and expand your combat style by choosing two out of six completely different weapons: sword and shield, dual blades, spear, hammer, staff or magic bracelets.”

An overview of weapons is as follows:

  • Sword and Shield – Balanced in assault and defense. It can block most attacks from front.
  • Daggers – Agile and flexible. The fast-paced attacks and back-steps on enemy can enter and leave the fray swiftly.
  • Spear – Skillful in details. It requires high reflexes and controls to parry the enemy, but rewards with strong counterattacks.
  • Hammer – Heavy and mighty. The powerful force of the hammer can easily break the enemy’s balance.
  • Staff – Make the first move. It enables long-range attacks and can defeat the enemy before they approach.
  • Bracelets – Steady and passive. Set up magic mines to create an area to your advantage.

Asterigos will first release on the PS4 in Spring 2022, and later in the year for the PS5.
