ASTREA: SIX-SIDED ORACLE IMPRESSIONS

WHAT

Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles is a new roguelike from Little Leo Games, launched 21st September 2023 (22nd, for those of me in a different timezone). I’ve tried out the demo before, calling it something I’d prioritize among the many, many other games out there. Well, now that it’s out, it’s time for the Casual Impressions.

SETTINGS

The options menu is fairly spartan, but the game doesn’t have that much you really need to tweak anyway.

You have your audio sliders, barebones graphics presets, the ability to change battle speed up to ultra fast, skipping certain animations, a run timer toggle, controls between mouse and controller / keyboard, and miscellaneous options for screenshake, particle effects and data collection.

Data collection is to send the devs gameplay data and error logs to assist in game balance and does not include personal identifying information. If you’re still concerned, you can turn it off regardless.

Text languages available are:

English

Brazilian Portuguese

Simple / Traditional Chinese

French

German

Japanese

Korean

Russian

Spanish

While the Ultra battle speed sounds handy for maybe speedrunning and such, it doesn’t seem to affect the actual dice roll animations which while nice, is probably something you might want to skip when it comes to rushing through.

Since I use the mouse, right-click is for viewing a die’s face. Maybe there could be a toggle for quick use when it comes to area of effect dice.

PRESENTATION

Astrea is mostly in this gorgeous blue, purple and gold trim colour palette. It quite reminds me of tarot, as you lay out the cloth and prepare your cards for a reading. The dice aside, the blessings you can get look like metal pins you could buy off Etsy - and could totally make for some kickass limited edition merchandise, if you get my drift.

The Oracles and the purifying they do are blue, while the corruption is in red. The corruption can morph pretty much anything into terrifying, dangerous entities; if they are sentient beings, they scurry off to the right side of the screen once you help them regain their senses.

I do wonder how much being colourblind can affect someone when it comes to playing this game. We can take visual clarity for granted sometimes.

GAMEPLAY

Gameplay wise, Astrea has not changed drastically from the demo. You have your dice with all their faces of effects that make up your deck. ‘Safe’ dice usually don’t have the biggest numbers, but you’re at least assured you wouldn’t roll something that could be devastating, unlike ‘Risky’ dice which generally have bombastic effects, both good and bad. Mostly bad?

With your dice in hand, you proceed from node to node, picking up more dice options, finding encounters, and what have you. You can have up to two Sentinels, your support buddies offering more dice to complement your chosen character’s playstyle. Their HP is pretty low and don’t all get the ability to attack, so they’re not the most reliable helpers if they don’t have the spread of dice you want.

You will need to balance between Purifying and Corruption, more so if you’re picking out risky dice. You can inflict Corruption on yourself to activate your spread of Virtues - the row of icons above your health bar - but too much, and you’d accidentally lose one of your lives.

You can’t throw all the Corruption onto the enemies either; it will heal them and trigger Overcorruption abilities once they reach the threshold to immediately perform an action you probably would rather avoid. That’s not forgetting any potential passive effects they have. The least you can do is hover over the smaller icons and read up on what they do.

Once you’ve cleared a single run with a given Oracle, you can start ramping up the difficulty via Anomaly levels a la something like Slay the Spire’s Ascension. You will want to try out all the characters to level them up to unlock even more things for later runs, as you might expect.

One thing I found a little odd was that there wasn’t an Abandon Run option right now. As it happens, forfeiting a run means you don’t get any experience towards levelling up that character. So even if you’re in a run you feel is hopeless, you need to keep on going anyway otherwise you make no progress. I would have thought games like these usually give a nominal amount towards unlocks, but different games, different systems.

CONCLUSION

Well, is it much of a surprise I really like this game following from the demo? It’s pretty simple to grasp, though of course it won’t prevent me from yelling at unfavourable rerolls. I wanted to work on a 'review' once I managed to complete a run with a character which happened a little sooner than I thought, so there’s certainly more to be had. As it is, I already liked it, so Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles is a Highly Recommended.

All those people with the ‘Mikey’s gonna get bodied’ theories need to shut up bc I’m starting to believe them look at this

#mutant mayhem #tmnt #tmnt mutant mayhem #tmnt mm #mutant mayhem mikey #i always felt it was weird that Mikey was taking up focus with a lot of the promo material #like even before the Movie was released Mikey was either infront of or right beside Leo when it game to promo things #and now It’s sticking out like a sore thum everywhere and it worries me #i know Mikey was the favorite turtle for a lot of people working on this project and well #yknow what happens when the writers have a favorite they’re gonna ruin this poor kid probably #at first I was like ‘ha ha that’s a cool theory but I they all have reasons nothing bags gonna happen to mikey my little baby’#‘my little pebble will be fine he’s fine’ and then I see stuff like this and I’m like ‘why he so far why are you singling him out to us-‘#guys help if he gets ran over by a car what do we do like as a fandom #what’s the contingency plan here bc I don’t know

His sister bought him the clock!! For his birthday!! ; ; They tried to play a little game of it, "In a sham of a seance..."

Leo Amicus: "Has it all been a dream? Am I waking up for the first time? Am I still with my family? Am I not crumbling yet? It just isn't fair...Not just, not me--any of it. To anybody. It's just not fair. I can hear the sounds so much--it's so much louder now. I can hear it over everything. I can see it again. The machine. I remember her face. I remember too much. When did I start crumbling? When do you start growing and stop crumbling? I--I don't trust myself. And...it could be worse. I'll put that on my tombstone at that point."

Thinking about...how the through-line of all these little threads is every character agonizing over family. Malcolm wondering, "Was my family involved?" Edgar grappling with how much it hurts that he saved someone in Candela, "someone who wasn't my family," instead of finally chasing down the one lead on his sister he's had in years. Grimoria fearing what will happen the day she feels a spirit and it's her own family's. Leo wishing he could turn back time and forget that clock and just have his sister back--

The way Taliesin describes Leo's trauma as, "I can hear the sounds so much--it's so much louder now. I can hear it over everything." The way it so heartbreakingly parallels his description of love as, "And it makes the sound of whatever happened to you before quiet. At least for a moment--"

#candela obscura spoilers #leo amicus #the way taliesin describes leo's trauma makes my whole heart ache ; ;#SO DOES EDGAR SAYING THEY AREN'T HIS FAMILY #reminds me of how he hesitated when referring to them as colleagues before #feels like he's afraid to label anyone else as family because of what happened to his--#also the seance as something that was just supposed to be a fun little childrens game and leo just lost his whole childhood to that--

You can’t tell me Leo wouldn’t be able to do the totk ascend ability.

Aka I will never shut up about the impossibly huge potential that Leo’s portaling/teleporting abilities have, especially in regard to how it treats his body on an atomic level

#non au #rottmnt Leo #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #LISTEN WE TALK ABOUT PORTALING A LOT BUT THE ACTUAL TELEPORTATION HE DOES IS ARGUABLY COOLER #LIKE BRO BECOMES MYSTIC MAGIC PARTICLES #THATS SO????#totk aka tears of the kingdom aka the game that has a chokehold on the little time I have to spare 🙏

anyway this is what i was actually trying to find. fucking thinking about this.

#NEED to know about their young adulthood. acele is described as 'late teens to early twenties' & we have no fucking clue how old evrart #is beyond 'around the same age as harry' which could mean anything when klaasje thinks hes 44 & kim thinks hes 56 #but i imagine they ARE actuslly very close in age bcus it'd just make sense wrt the timing of the revolution & all & yknow the parallels #so like they definitely could have been somewhere in their mid or late 20s when they came into power? & this 'at her age' as just a handful #of years before that? (choosing to just believe this line rather than taking it as him only trying to 'kids will be kids'ing away the drug #lab thing & making something up. so i can totally just like imagine lots of anger. at the state of things. about powerlessness. what do we #DO about it? probably getting into trouble & getting in fights for a long time. like leo says they ALWAYS came to help it wasn't just a one #off thing where they defended him it was just that one incident where the bullying stopped. bcus they beat him until he NEEDED STITCHES #like god i can just imagine their childhood & then the adolescent & young adult frustration & all of that coalescing into ok we WILL do #something to make things better. whatever it takes even. coming to the decision it's worth killing for #'your honor it's fine that my little meow meow had someone assassinated he had a bad childhood you see'#im chewing through concrete im throwing up im pacing my enclosure #anyway. me when i'm normal about the video game men #texticles #de #disco elysium #evrart

cannot believe the folks behind rottmnt finally managed to condense pure unadulterated serotonin into one 11 minute sequence by the name of “the lair games”

#rottmnt #rise of tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #the lair games #i mean the documentary style! the subtitles for each character introduction! leo's shit-eating grin!#exactly the boost i needed after having my heart wrenched from my chest by the movie #also it is absolutely wild watching leo's character pre-movie. i'm so so impressed by the writers ability to make a character likeable and #also incredibly flawed #leo is my little scurmbo and i hate his stupid face #talkspeak

perusing through @samtrapani’s leo tag and Thinking. not only is vito quite honestly just a little naïve, but he’s easy for leo to control because leo can see right through him. leo can take one look at vito and know his deepest secrets, because he has the same skeletons in his closet.

leo can play 4d chess because one look at vito and anyone who’s played a game before can tell vito has PAWN. I WONT QUESTION YOU. written in bold on his forehead.

leo saw this scared, young, boy fighting through prison at anyone who looked too long at him, and knew he was in there for trusting the wrong people and not asking the right questions, and immediately he was like. i can use him.

& when vito goes out of his way to save leo’s life, just for leo to save his by getting rid of the only person who’s ever had more sway over vito than he did (joe)… well, that’s the business of being owned & useful, kid.

#spiraling i think #like not just bc they’re both gay but BECAUSE they’re gay leo knows all of vito’s weak points #bad relationship w father makes him not question authority #strained relationship with mother makes him too trusting of anyone who says they care #hiding half of yourself to everyone around you 24/7 means you won’t say too much to anyone #can fight and willingly does so to be close w men but also bc as a gay youth he HAD to #has been in war and probably loved and loss a man over there? desensitized to violence and not eager for a new relationship #like leo really took one glance at vito and said. poor little meowmeow. let me traumatize him more #leo galante #vito scaletta #mafia 2 #mafia video games #mafia 2 meta #video game analysis #post: personal
