Evaluation

Astronarch launched on January 22, 2021 and received a series of free content updates over the following five months. Two major content drops shipped during this period: The Fallen & 30 New Items (v1.4.0, March 13, 2021) and Omens - New Difficulties, Features, Events (v1.5.0, May 13, 2021). On June 24, 2021, the developer released "The Keys of Fate" (v1.6.0), adding an alternate final boss. In that same post, Dale explicitly stated: "While this is the final content update, I will now be looking in to the feasibility of translations." This is a direct, unambiguous declaration that content development for Astronarch is complete. The developer has since moved on to a separate game called Primarch (announced February 19, 2023), which was described as a prequel set in the same universe. No further content for Astronarch has been announced or released since June 24, 2021. The only DLC listed is the Astronarch Soundtrack, which released on April 7, 2021 — there are no unreleased DLC items on the store.

About this game

A fusion of roguelikes and auto-battlers like never before seen. Recruit a party of mysterious heroes, navigate deadly lands, collect an arsenal of magical items, and vanquish a new evil threatening the realm!

Features

  • Party-Based Strategy: Select from a pool of unique heroes, each with skills which inspire vastly different strategies and customization. Position your heroes on the battlefield to influence the outcome of battle.


  • Explore Dynamic Terrain: Each playthrough provides a new journey, changing not only your path, but the bosses you must conquer. Freely move between 3 subareas in each act, rewarding those with the knowledge of where their party can flourish, and where it will falter.


  • Loot!: Collect ancient and magical items which augment your party's stats and abilities. Should your Wildmage be a glass cannon, or a front line bruiser? The decision is yours.


  • Prestige!: After your first victory, heroes will begin growing a cosmetic aura as they conquer the 20 additional Corruption modifiers.
