ASTRA: Knights of Veda is a role-playing game from FLINT. It offers an action-packed experience set in a dark medieval fantasy world known as Planis. Players assume the role of a chosen champion, a member of the Knights of Veda, tasked with combating the curse of the mad King Magnus, which has plunged the world into chaos. 

If you find titles like Gal Guardians: Demon Purge and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night appealing, ASTRA: Knights of Veda is right up your alley. With its 2D graphics, anime aesthetics, and dark medieval setting, you’re all set for an unforgettable fantasy experience.

Tactical warfare

ASTRA: Knights of Veda’s rich narrative is centered around your quest to restore peace and normality to Planis, with the guidance of the goddess Veda, who selects you as her champion. You’ll embark on a journey through the dark and atmospheric world of Planis, encountering fatal challenges, nightmarish creatures, and difficult bosses in various locations such as the Nightmare and Sealed Prisons. 

The visuals are well done, with 2D and anime-influenced graphics that throw you into a magical world. In terms of gameplay, the game offers tactical combat where you can utilize the unique skills and weapons of a Knight of Veda. Combat is fluid, with dodge rolling and powerful moves that can turn the tide of battle. However, like many RPGs, it suffers from the repetitiveness of combat encounters and quests.

Minor gameplay boost

While not a content overhaul, the recent update for ASTRA: Knights of Veda irons out unwanted wrinkles, including fixing tutorial bugs, squashing a mobile freeze, and eliminating a confusing login message. To make up for initial hiccups, you can claim maintenance compensation worth 300 Starstones. This minor update paves the way for a more polished gameplay experience, especially for those diving into co-op battles.

Good story, smooth combat

ASTRA: Knights of Veda delivers an immersive gameplay experience that weaves together storytelling, tactical combat, and exploration within a dark medieval fantasy world. It offers a compelling narrative that draws players into a world plagued by a malevolent curse and the oppressive rule of the mad King Magnus. As a chosen champion of the goddess Veda, players embark on a quest to restore peace and normality to the realm.
