Astral Towers

М-да уж, эта игра просто ужасна. Это же надо было умудриться сделать более простую, примитивную, урезанную, расбалансированную, куцую, убогую игру по сравнению с предыдущим Spectromancer 2009 года выпуска! То ли пандемия сказалась и на сегменте казуалок за три копейки то ли что-то ещё, но разработчикам игры, имея опыт создания подобных игр, удалось всё же сделать жалкую пародию на предыдущую свою игру десятилетней давности.

I've been playing Apus Software games since the original release of Astral Tournament. This one is somewhat different from the other games, focusing more on the puzzle aspect. Enjoyed the campaign. The hard mode was quite challenging.

Ну игра давно заброшена нету обещаного мультиплеера не добавили даже возможность начать кампанию заново.

I liked it. Beating the campaign on hard was actually quite frustrating sometimes, it always felt like you started 0-3 behind. But succeeding eventually made it feel extra satisfying. If you like card games which also feels like some sort of puzzle (you just know every scenario has a solution with your cards/powers), you should definitely give it a try.

Просто обалденная игра!

Astral Towers is fine overall and definitely worth about 4-5€. Unfortunately, playing against the AI is much more fun than going through the campaign. The campaign gets repetitive fast and mostly comes down to doing the same things again and again, which hurts the experience a bit. The writing is amateurish, but has some old-school charm to it. In my opinion, the art is amazing. It has that certain 90s Magic the Gathering vibe to it which I love. The sound design is fine, there are several music tracks, and the sound effects get the point across. Perhaps the worst thing is that this is the sort of game that would be amazing in PvP. While you can play hot-seat, unfortunately there is no way to play it against other players online. Regardless, it's a fun puzzle game.
