Description

Astoria: The Holders of Power Saga is a charming RPG with an epic, twisting story, containing intricate characters and cinematic cutscenes, done in classic 90's, RPG-style storytelling.

A Demon has been summoned to Astoria, seeking revenge and the destruction of its people. Play as Nolan, a young Prince arriving to Astoria from a far-off land, and discover a sinister plot of assassination, politics, and impossible alliances that will help this Demon and his accomplices obtain the Stone of Power - a stone capable of opening a gate to a realm of unimaginable evil. On your journey, meet a colorful cast of 16 characters who move in and out of your party in accordance with the plot. Explore an expansive world where you will encounter hordes of vicious monsters, conduct stealth missions, fight in a pitched battle, and uncover great mysteries. Experience the emotions of love, anger, hatred, and fear as each member of your party has their own gripping story arcs that intertwine with the main storyline. Sail with filthy pirates, learn powerful spells, find magic weapons, slay mighty Dragons, battle armies of Orcs, Goblins, Demons and even an Undead horde. Will you prevail against the forces of evil in a race to recover the Stone of Power before it's too late?

Hey guys and gals!

Just thought I'd pop in here and mention that ATHOPS has now been reduced to only $1.99, and it is currently on sale for ONLY 67 CENTS! Give it a shot for traditional, classic, RPG goodness!

 

[Maple]

'Sail with filthy pirates' = sold. I'm getting on Steam now. Looks great. Cheers!

 

[Golden Unicorn Gaming]

Hey, thanks! Admittedly, I think the pirates dialogue is my favorite in the game. Enjoy! <3

 

[Golden Unicorn Gaming]

[Golden Unicorn Gaming]

Just letting everyone know that Astoria is once again at 99c! And there's been an experience/gold overhaul that makes the game slightly easier! Check it out!

 

[Shannaro]

Okay, so this is what I don't get about rpgmaker creators.

If there's sixteen playable characters
why make it boring/tried and make the basic white dude with the sword the hero.

Because that's the story I wanted to make. Next time I'll remember to seek out your opinion.
