STORY



You play as Roy Becket, a young pilot with dreams of becoming as skilled as his adoptive father. When a galactic war against an ancient mechanical alien race reaches its boiling point, Roy is forced to spring into action and take control of an otherworldly bipedal war machine in hopes of saving what's left of humanity.

Joining Roy is a young girl who claims to have escaped the clutches of the nefarious aliens. Forever altered through the horrible experiments to which she was subjected, she now possesses the very abilities humanity will need to push back the Doomsday Clock.

Together, the pair must face an unrelenting army alone and reunite their shattered families.

The end of civilization as we know it is on the horizon. Between humanity and eradication stands Astebreed.

The Arcade Shooter Genre, Evolved


Astebreed breathes new life into the classic arcade shooter genre. Using painstakingly crafted 3D models, cutting-edge particle effects, and old-school Japanese mech designs, Astebreed delivers an unparalleled experience of beautiful destruction.

Armed to the Teeth


Roy has a considerable arsenal at his disposal. Armed with the mysterious Lucis device, Roy's mech can unleash long-distance attacks, paint targets with a laser for precision homing attacks, and even get up close and personal for a killing blow with a powerful blade attack. No enemy shall escape your wrath, no matter where they hide.

Dynamically Changing Perspective


Your enemies are not always up in front of you. Your enemies swarm, fly, and intercept, and Astebreed's dynamic perspective always keeps the action in view. Seamlessly switching between vertical, horizontal, and 3D shooter, Astebreed will keep you guessing what your next threat will be, without ever interrupting the action.

This game was a ride, I beat it twice in less then two hours on two difficulties. Way too easy. The story tries to pack in some emotion and feel but comes off so hilarious that it's worth playing just for that. I could refund it now, having already got everything out of it. But it's just too much of an oddity to let go of. I'll give it a recommend just because it's likely the safest purchase ever, beat it a few times and see if you even care to keep it in your library or not.

Can't really recommend or say no to this. I mean it's decent enough but not a challenge. At least not enough on Normal to warrant a second playthrough. Just hold A+B and spam LB for the lock on and you'll get through to the second to last boss no problem. Second to last boss right at the end you have to pay attention....kind of, then it's back to A+B mode lol. I get what they were going for with it but it just fell a little flat across the board. Not a must buy, but not terrible enough to say don't EVER play it.

Not my cup of tea when it comes to shmups, however, the game is good, solid presentation and fun even for beginners.

This is a rather strange game. It's like playing a horizontal, vertical, and 3d shmup all at once, it jumps all over the place. Surprisingly though, it's pretty fun to play, and the scoring system is elegant. One thing I have to knock this version for is that playing it with mouse and keyboard is bad and controls are not remappable, so I had to use a controller. Normally I really don't like that as the keyboard is more precise, but this game doesn't really demand super tight bullet hell dodging anyway. It's not very hard to 1cc, I did it on my first attempt, but I'll definitely be coming back to chase better scores and maybe the achievements. It's also interesting that unlike every shmup ever almost, this one has a lot of plot in it. Is the plot good? Ehhhh...whatever. But it is there! So that's something unique. Overall though, I did quite like it.

For me, this game was really stressful. I didnt play it until the end as I struggled against the final boss. At least, its a really short game.
