Astalo is a new combat game in which we have to survive as it is before the attacks of those enigmatic enemies with their hoods and special suits. A game that stands out for its visual style, but is still in beta.
In beta It means that new features will be incorporated to improve the gameplay. One that stands out for those gestures with which we will destroy the enemy through our saber or those shuriken. Go for it.
Visually special
If there is something that Astalo fits in very well, it is because of his great dose of visual style and that is noticeable from the first game. Has a isometric view that allows us to visualize everything very well that limited battlefield and that is limited in its perimeter by the heights of the precipice through which our enemies will fall.
Through gestures we will eliminate the enemies before they do the same. Since we have to be very attentive to those unforeseen attacks. The best defense here is a good offense, so don't wait for them to use their jabs on your body to split it in two.
The gameplay goes through that of going generating the new battlefield in which we will face to a limited number of enemies. Shakes these, the next one is generated until reaching the limit of progress and that will indicate that we have unlocked the new region. The second will be frozen and play again with that graphic virtuosity of Astalo.
Choose your favorite warrior in Astalo
One of the cool points of Astalo is the power to choose between different warriors and that are characterized by the damage of their blows or by the speed of movement. We have the warrior and the paladin as the two to choose first, but then we can get hold of him monk, ninja, northern, king, emperor, farmer, masked and death. The truth is that there are enough to work the games well and get to know them; like those terrifying invincible assassins of the great Dead by daylight.
La variety of enemies is linked to each region. In the first we have two and more will be added with their mechanics. Nor is it the best we've seen, but it makes the games not so easy if we are not attentive enough.
But you don't just live on graphics
It is very clear that a game doesn't just live on graphics, and in Astalo the truth that they have worked it out. What we do lack a bit are the game mechanics in which something more striking is missing in the enemies. It gets a bit of a mess when they throw projectiles and we don't really know if they're hitting us. Remember that it is still in beta.
Visually it is what draws our attention a lot. Not only for the visual style of flat colors with a very well chosen color palette, but because of how the battlefield is generated and those well-crafted animations. We also keep the design of the warriors and those enemies. But where it fails a bit is in the dynamics of the games. A little more dynamism is missing.
Astalo is a good fighting game that lacks some character in combat. Hopefully they will be able to hit the right key and optimize it in such a way that they turn games into more of a "dance" of gestures to attack enemies just as we defend against them. It has enough content to encourage us to move forward and thus discover that good variety of warriors with their own style of combat. You have it for free now in a robe, so try it to find out if it hooks you or you will pass by as before so many other games.

Visually it is very well worked. It is in the gameplay that it lacks some character.
