Gothic Style ARPG, Asterfel, Launches First Playtest Ahead of Steam’s Medieval Fest

Pick up your sword! The first playtest for Asterfel launches today, and it will be featured in Steam’s Medieval Fest. Play as a shipwrecked survivor new to the island of Asterfel, where every choice you make is vital to your fate. Choose between one of three different factions to align yourself with, learn more about the island through immersive quests, and defeat powerful, punishing enemies. Will you be able to free the island of Asterfel from itself and from an ancient god’s wrath?

  • A Cursed Island Shaped by Greed – Besieged by conflict, the King’s magical mines have stirred up mutant terrors, and roused an ancient God from its slumber. Nature and magic have become erratic, and dead things crawl out of their graves to wreak havoc.
  • Three Factions, A Nation Divided – Three factions rule over the divided island of Asterfel: the Crown Wardens, the rebellious Kindred, and the magical Scholars. Choose which to work with, or lend your sword to all, as you decide on your path. 
  • Let Steel And Magic Lead Your Way – An intense, in-depth combat system allows you to wield swords, bows, or magical runes to cast spells. Whether up close or afar, tackle fights your way. Mix up your play-style and upgrade your abilities to overcome the odds.
  • Choose Your Own Fate – You are a shipwreck survivor, new to Asterfel. Take on quests, align with factions, gather resources, and craft your own gear.
  • A World That Fights Back – Discover arid landscapes, dense jungles, and ancient ruins, where terrors lurk behind every corner. The further abroad you travel, the more difficult enemies become. 

Join the Asterfel playtest TODAY on Steam, do not tarry! Don’t forget to drop a wishlist to stay in the loop about Asterfel’s development. The island of Asterfel awaits you.
