In a new trailer that dropped today, the team behind the upcoming JRPG Astria Ascending revealed ‘J-Ster’, inspired by classic JRPG in-universe board games. Use strategy and guile to steal your opponent’s tokens in a strategic hexagonal board game and grow your ever-expanding collectable army.
With hand-drawn backgrounds and animations, expansive customisation and rich turn-based combat, Astria Ascending draws players into a complex story of fate, fear and sacrifice. It is published by Dear Villagers (ScourgeBringer, Edge of Eternity) and developed by Artisan Studios in collaboration with legendary JRPG developers including Final Fantasy veterans Kazushige Nojima (narrative) and Hitoshi Sakimoto (composition).
