RETURN TO THE AGE OF MYTHS AND MAGIC, DEMONS AND DRAGONS!
Sure, you've travelled some strange terrain in your video game journeys, but wait till you see where Astyanax takes you!
In your pursuit of the evil wizard Blackhorn and his captive, Princess Rosebud of Remlia, you'll encounter terrors that would frighten the Gods themselves. The dreaded Thorndog, with his heart of stone and face of bone. Monstrous Caesar, of the Gremlin face and chicken feet. The endless Maze of Castle Terenea. Plus, winged dragons and metamorphosing monsters, sorcerers' spells and wicked wizardry, in a land that reaches far into the past and the future.
It's the stuff myths are made of, a fantastic flight stretching eons beyond any game you've ever experienced, if you'd go to the ends of the Earth for the ultimate adventure, Astyanax is your game!
You are Astyanax, a sixteen year old boy that has the same dream night after night: A princess, calling for help. One afternoon, you are summoned to the world of Remnia by Cutie, a pixie, to save the realm's princess. You are the chosen one mentioned by their prophecies!
Astyanax is a side-scrolling platform action game set in a fantasy world. You must save the realm from Blackhorn's evil horde. Along the way you'll find powerups that will make you stronger, and upgrade your weapon; and you can also unleash magical attacks that hit all enemies on the screen. Three magic spells are available: blast (fireball in all directions), bolt (powerful lightning strike), and blind (freeze all enemies on screen). The weapon upgrades that the player can find also determine the power of the spells and how many magic points they will use.
A follow-up to the Arcade game The Astyanax, this version features completely redesigned stages, enemies, and a new story.
