Evaluation

Astronite: Landing on Neplea is a free-to-play prologue to the full Astronite game. The store description explicitly frames it as "the prologue" and "the beginning of the game," designed to introduce players to Astronite and let them defeat the first major boss, Kronch. This is a standalone, self-contained demo/prologue experience — it launched on September 8, 2022 and was complete at launch by design. There are no DLC listings, no developer news posts indicating future content for this prologue, and no roadmap or announcements of any kind. The developer has not communicated any plans to expand this title. It functions as a finished product that serves as an introduction to the full game.

Evidence

Store description explicitly identifies this as 'the prologue' of the Astronite metroidvania, covering the beginning of the game and the first boss encounter. Self-contained by design.

About this game

Astronite Landing on Neplea is the prologue of this fantastic 1bit metroidvania that combines action, exploration, puzzles and platforms. Play the beginning of this fantastic space adventure.

Mission 2205 is the last big chance for the ancient inhabitants of Neplea. Long ago the inhabitants of Neplea discovered that a strange Entity lived in the core of the planet. They studied it carefully but were never able to decipher the riddle.

After a while, the Entity created a great army which ended up taking their home from the inhabitants of Neplea. Now it's Astronite's turn, an intrepid space adventurer who will have to do everything possible to expel the invaders from his planet once and for all.
