Astalon: Tears of the Earth, developed by LABS Works, is an action-platformer game available on Nintendo Switch. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic desert where three explorers are on a mission to find a way to save their village. They encounter a dark tower that has risen from the depths of the earth, and they believe it holds the answers they seek.

The game's pixel art is beautifully detailed and captures the essence of the 80s era of video games. The character art by Ryusuke Mita, creator of the manga Dragon Half, is impressive. The soundtrack by KILLSCREEN, a video game music group, is a chiptune masterpiece that adds to the game's nostalgic vibe. The game boasts hundreds of rooms, and players can expect countless hours of challenging exploration.

Players can use the unique skills and personalities of the three characters to explore the tower, defeat monsters, find items, and solve puzzles. The game encourages players to embrace death and allows them to strengthen their party and change the rules. The game also features magical items that bestow new abilities upon the characters. Astalon: Tears of the Earth is a love letter to 80s action-platformers that offers players a challenging and rewarding experience.
