60 of 90 · most liked firstI dunno what level of ADHD I'm on that I'm procrastinating something I really wanna do with similar things I've been meaning to do for a while which is to say: instead of playing Silksong - a game I've waited 6 years for - I just finished Astalon and am downloading Nine Sols

unlabelledView post →I need to stop playing games. First I was playing Astalon and decided my game needs a stat buying system. Then I was playing Mario Wonder and decided my game needs chaotic magic rifts that change up gameplay and visuals to keep things novel. #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

unlabelledView post →Looking at the game selection, there's Animal Well and Astalon, no Dark Souls other than remastered but there is Lies of P, I don't think I've seen Graveyard Keeper but I did see Cenobite Maker 2 is available.
unlabelledView post →I beat Astalon: Tears of the Earth, and this is such a great game. They really nailed the classic side-scrolling metroidvania vibe, and the combination of metroidvania and roguelite goes pretty well together. The story has some actual substance to it (also has a somewhat dark tone).

unlabelledView post →In monster mode you control one of these purple demons (toughest minor foes in the main game). You spit fire, can fly via unlimited double-jump, and restore health by eating meat that foes occasionally drop. On the minus side, you're an ugly mofo. #Astalon #metroidvania #indiegames
unlabelledView post →Dark Knight mode has you playing as the eponymous recurring boss of the game. He has ridiculous jumps, allowing you to skip big swaths of the game, but his HP is low, needs blood pools to recover, and can't buy upgrades with orbs. #Astalon #metroidvania #indiegames
unlabelledView post →Also, the opening crawl calls the game "Astalon Chapter 2", with chapter 1 apparently not existing. Maybe doing some Star Wars kinda thing? (Couldn't get a screenshot, because any keypress on the opening crawl skips to the main menu, So you'll have to trust me.) #Astalon #metroidvania #indiegames
unlabelledView post →Nice, the people that did Astalon: Tears of the Earth’s new game came out
unlabelledView post →Worth it for Astalon! Loved its dense map with tons of secrets. It's character switching was a neat mechanic for some puzzles. Also, I was a sucker for its audio-visual presentation. hah The game is a bit unforgiving at the start, but lessens over time. Top-Tier Metroidvania for me. 🎮
unlabelledView post →The only really hard part of Dark Knight mode is the final boss fight against your dopleganger. Unlike the regular bosses, you can't just Rambo him- you have to use hit-and-run tactics and know his attacks. the ending adds little story to the game. Disappointing. #Astalon #metroidvania #indiegames
unlabelledView post →In defiance of standard video game logic, the new kid is so agile with those blocks that he can carry them up ladders and even to adjacent rooms. Theoretically cool, but realistically I have to revisit the entire map to see if it's useful anywhere. >_< #Astalon #metroidvania #indiegames

unlabelledView post →Spending my evenings playing Astalon: Tears of the Earth and I find myself simply -enjoying- a game for simply being a game. Weird little issues aside (like the notable lack of V-sync) it’s just a really good time.
unlabelledView post →After jumping around through a bunch of games to find one that clicks for my next game to play, I've settled on...going back and playing the other modes that I unlocked in Astalon: Tears of the Earth! I also picked up Pseudoregalia and Lunacid, so the only sensible path is back to the backlog!😅😭🪦

unlabelledView post →This one's for the PS4. If you can also play it on the PS5, it doesn't say so! But sometimes you can so please look into it. Astalon is described here as an action-platformer, but I consider it a metroidvania. Please play this game. It is so good. I believe it has a 50% discount at $9.99. Have fun!

unlabelledView post →Game #8 of 2026: Lovish; the latest game from the developers behind Astalon: Tears of the Earth. It feels like the modern-day equivalent of The Tower of Druaga. They somehow distilled Metroidvania elements into a single-screen adventure, too. I completed it at 100%, got the Plat, and loved it!

unlabelledView post →Credits roll on Astalon: Tears of the Earth. Solid game all around. Really like the different play style of the cast. Do wish it had a better map for marking things to revisit later. Overall, 6/10 on my scale.
unlabelledView post →I forget if you played Astalon. If you haven't I would give it a shot. It's pretty flexible and not only makes for a great speedrun but it's honestly a game I wish I could experience for the 1st time again.

unlabelledView post →Astalon! A truly exceptional Metroidvania! Brilliant map, amazing retro sprite work, a banger OST. Interesting gameplay mechanics. The exploration is top notch. Easily one of the best maps I’ve ever played. For me, this is easily up there with Hollow Knight. Master class in level design.

unlabelledView post →Not entirely sold on Astalon. Does it really have to take you all the way back to the start of the game whenever you die? That's a whole thirty or forty minutes of backtracking. Super annoying.
unlabelledView post →19. Lovish This was a fun little throwback platformer with lots of personality but the real takeaway for me is how it got me to replay the developers last two excellent metroidvanias Astalon and Castle in the Darkness. CitD 2 is a Silksong tier anticipated game for me.
unlabelledView post →taru...? G'morning, Cooperators! Today's going to be a fun day. We'll be talking about becoming a wrestler and winning the tag titles with someone important to me. We'll be continuing Astalon: Tears of the Earth later. Fun game so far! 🛢️Live NOW. ROLL IN!🛢️ twitch.tv/barrelgoddess

unlabelledView post →I keep thinking about this review as I hit the endgame grind, because I find myself compelled to keep going. There is something that I feel is missing from this game that wasn't in Astalon.
unlabelledView post →I just played that developer’s prior game - Astalon: Tears of the Earth - and really enjoyed it! Lovish looks even more up my alley. Glad to see you enjoyed it!
unlabelledView post →Heck yeah it is! Not as good as Astalon or Castle in the Darkness, but still a blast to play. The music bops and it made me chuckle a good number of times. I'm definitely going to try and get as much as I can out of this game. And appreciate the pick up and play nature of it.
unlabelledView post →Alrighty it's time to continue our adventures in Astalon! Come watch as Kyuli carries the whole team to victory! twitch.tv/megapatches
unlabelledView post →Yo. Give the demo of Lovish a try. Its a nice 2D pixel art game with some charm to it. Its done by the studio that did Astalon,one of my favorites.
