AWAKEN - Astral Blade

AWAKEN - Astral Blade is a dark adventure with platforming and combat. The main character Loretta travels through mists and lands covered in a dark aura. The girl wants to find out about her past and understand herself. Her body is connected to an alien creature, but this does not stop the journey. The parasite gives the heroine strength, but reminds her of herself at every opportunity. Jumping on moving platforms breaks up the fights. Loretta has to cleanse her home world of demons. Ill-wishers and dangerous creatures stand in the way. The heroine even comes into contact with divine entities that have only now begun to manifest themselves. Dark places do not open immediately and require patience. Hidden areas hide notes that explain Loretta's past. Each new ability makes the heroine stronger in battle. The arsenal is customized: a long sword, tentacles or a hammer are used. Battle tactics depend on the chosen weapon, and the ability tree gradually strengthens the heroine. You have to jump on platforms, climb walls and show miracles of dexterity. Outfits change appearances and add cues in scenes. The dark lands hide both dangers and clues about the past. As the story progresses, there are forks in the road, and choices lead to different consequences. The heroine’s clothes and appearance can also be changed: there is a daring look with glasses, cat ears and a dress. Each decision adds color to the dark story. Bosses have different attack patterns, and each requires its own tactics. Bosses appear after a long journey through the fog. For those who like dark platformers, this game is suitable.
