About the Game

Astral Dive is a fantasy pixel art RPG that pays homage to the great classics of the genre, reinventing exploration and combat with modern and dynamic mechanics.

Step into the shoes of Atlas, a young and promising mage, as you cross the threshold of astral portals, explore fascinating dimensions, and investigate the mysterious events that shook the academy of magic years ago. Will you uncover the truth and protect your world?

Unique and Strategic Turn-Based Combat

Forget typical turn-based battles. In Astral Dive, combat blends the tactical planning of classic JRPGs with an original system of stellar tiles (magic cards). Collect new spells during your journey, customize your deck, and create lethal synergies to defeat bizarre creatures and colossal bosses.

A Journey Beyond Astral Portals

Explore 7 extraordinary biomes, each featuring a unique visual identity, dedicated enemies, and fragments of lore waiting to be discovered. Travel from enchanted forests to mystical ruins and surreal worlds: every portal you cross is a new challenge for your mind and strategy.

True Hand-Drawn Pixel Art

Astral Dive celebrates the golden age of two-dimensional role-playing games with detailed, high-quality pixel art that is entirely hand-drawn (100% AI-free). From character animations to spell effects, every frame has been crafted with love to bring a vibrant and memorable world to life.

Join Extraordinary Companions

You won't face this journey alone. Along the way, you will befriend quirky heroes and powerful allies, each with unique abilities and deep personal stories. Unlock special dialogues, discover their pasts, and experiment with different party formations to tailor the game to your playstyle.
