Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles News

Extended Cellarius Gameplay Livestream!

Hey, Oracles!

My good friend Buddy, the self-proclaimed best Astrea player in the world, is going to expand a little on the demo of Steam Next Fest! He'll be live Friday at 11am PST streaming a full run for Cellarius, the Tide Hammer!

While the free demo that you can play right now features Cellarius, we figured you might want to see what a full run with our favorite shark friend might look like! Buddy will be piloting Cellarius through all three zones from the full game so you can get a taste for what the full Cellarius experience looks like!

The Astrea demo will be available until July 7th! If you enjoyed the demo, be sure to give us a wishlist!

Oracle Recap + Livestream

Hello Oracles,

I hope you have been enjoying the Astrea demo during the Steam Next Fest! A few days ago I announced Austra the 4th of the 6 playable oracles in Astrea. I want to take the time to recap the 4 oracles we have shown off as well as a couple dev logs about map pathing and sentinels. If you haven’t had a chance to try out the demo, be sure to check it out before Steam Next Fest ends.

[h2]Sentinel Dev Log[/h2]
Sentinels are good, little buddies you can buy at the sentinel shop, pick up from random events or earn after defeating bosses! Each unique sentinel has their own unique die which you roll every turn. You can only have two sentinels active at the same time so picking the sentinels that fit your strategy is a must!

[h2]Map Pathing Dev Log[/h2]
What does the map that you move through look like? What sorts of decisions can you make? Why might you choose some of the destinations on your journey? In this dev log we took the time to break down some of the nodes you will find on the map to better understand the path ahead of you.

Cellarius is a heavy hitting berserker, dealing tons of purification but in return taking a lot of corruption as well. Managing that damage taken is the key to success with Cellarius.

[h2]Austra[/h2]
Austra is about probability and manipulating odds to give you a favorable outcome. Their dice pool includes crit chances and dodge chances. Critical will increase the purification you will deal and dodging will, well dodge corruption that the enemy may apply.

There are two more Oracles left to reveal, each with their new unique mechanics and dice that I can’t wait to dive into soon.

My good friend Buddy, the marketing lead for Akupara Games and self-proclaimed best Astrea player in the world, will be streaming Astrea on Steam this Thursday at 11am PST and Friday at 11am PST!

Austra, the Will of Winds Oracle Spotlight

Hey, oracles!

We are still hard at work to bring Astrea to your hands!

I’m excited to introduce you to the next playable oracle: Austra the Will of Winds!

https://youtu.be/yr_bS-YCmfs

Austra is about probability and manipulating odds to give you a favorable outcome. Their dice pool includes crit chances and dodge chances. Critical will increase the purification you will deal and dodging will, well dodge corruption that the enemy may apply. There are even status effects that you can apply that will give benefits if you are successful in dodging damages or getting a crit.

Tune in to the Oracle Reveal Stream on Friday, June 16th!

Hey, Oracles!

The next Astrea Oracle will be revealed this Friday, June 16th in a livestream at 10AM Pacific/1PM Eastern! The Illustrious Buddy (well known as the best Astrea player in the world, according to the latest Completionist Stream!) will be showing off the newest Oracle for two whole hours of roguelike goodness!

Then, after the stream, the next Oracle Spotlight will premiere on Youtube so everyone can get a look at some of their newest builds and mechanics! Now that Moonie, Cellarius, and Hevelius have all been revealed, we get to go deeper into some of the more complicated Oracles who have builds and synergies that will test the best among you!

If you have any predictions (such as: will Buddy beat his run on stream!) feel free to leave them down in the comments below! And for eagle-eyed viewers, there's going to be a few more mechanical tweaks to Astrea that we'll get to show off in Friday's livestream as well. If you've ever wondered what tougher difficulties might look like in the game, let's just say that we can take a peak on that experience this week!

Can't wait to see you all there!
