Why play it

Astra: Knights of Veda is a visually stunning, story-rich, 2D RPG. A dark plague besets the world of Planis, perptrated through a dark ritual performed by the Mad King. You, and the other Knights of Veda, are the only ones who can bring normality back to the world. Journey through this dark medieval fantasy world. Fatal challenges await in all corners of the world. Endless undead and beasts charge at you in the Nightmare, and difficult bosses wait in their Sealed Prisons. Stand alone and fight these monstrosities, and get rewards to make your Knights of Veda stronger. As the Master of the Book, it is up to you to utilize the Knights of Veda in the best way possible to confront challenging but well designed bosses and monsters. Each Knight of Veda wields various skills and weapons, so make use of them as best as possible. You'll be able to journey with up to 4 Knights of Veda in your party, or play co-op mode and explore the challenges ahead together.

Story and worldbuilding

Once a thriving world, Planis teeters on the edge of oblivion due to the tyrannical rule of the mad king, Magnus. An army raised to free the masses from the madness of Magnus was met with the event that would doom them all. A giant tree of death rose from the ground, causing those within its deadly bloom to consume the flesh of their allies, and others to burst into monstrous beasts. The goddess Veda descended onto the world, selecting a new champion who would help rid the world of its curse. You, and the other Knights of Veda, are the only ones who can bring normality back to the world.

Astra: Knights of Veda’s detailed world and challenging combat show promise, but its overly aggressive grind and sluggish progression dampen the charm.
