This brilliant piece of eye candy is a visual treat with enemies made of light and colour.
Astariel, to simply put it, is an amazing shooter.
The basic idea is the same as any shooter – don your ship and blast away at the hoards of enemies who come at you, but, however, the enemies in this game are not other ships. They’re not alien monsters. They’re simply light. Different colours swirl and move across your screen and dissipate as you shoot them making for a gorgeous pastiche of colours across your screen.
Several things which appear in the game are pretty nice to have in a shooter, such as pick-ups and the power weapon, where you can shoot lots of low powered bullets or charge it up to shoot a power beam.
There is so much to say about this game, but it’s so hard to articulate. The game is more visual anyway, so I won’t say too much more about it except that you should definitely download it. It’s quite amazing and not to mention very, very cool.
It's odd that a shooter can be simultaneously exciting and soothing, but that's what Astariel is. Incredible graphics, enigmatic music, and solid, pulse-pounding gameplay. Download it now.
Amazing game which you have to see for yourself.
