About the Game

Experience a new twist on a familiar genre ✨

Embark on an enigmatic journey in Astral Throne, a captivating blend of retro-style turn-based strategy and roguelike adventure. Navigate a once-prosperous land cloaked in a memory-stealing fog from a fallen star.

Fight through a series of tightly designed hand-crafted combat encounters while building a formidable army through Roguelite-style level-ups and loot. Synergize your party’s classes, equipment, weapons, and skills in various ways - all while experiencing a mysterious story that changes depending on who you recruit and choices you make.
