Go Rogueing with new Mega Drive release Astebros

Check out the cheesy teaser, then fire up your Mega Drive/Genesis or Switch and enjoy some Astebros from Neofid Studios. A roguelite with procedurally-generated dungeons, you choose one of three heroes; knight, mage or ranger, and battle through scrolling levels to upgrade their gear to tackle the ever tougher denizens. 

Update: Wow, got my wish, Astebros and its predecessor Demons of Asteborg are arriving on Evercade as a dual-game cart, in December!

 

Asterbros' developers raised over €100,000 on Kickstarter for the project. A solid mix of old-school ninja-platformer and modern rogue, Astebros packs in lots of bright scenery, background detail, plenty of hidden secrets, chunky chests to base open, with solid-looking characters, smartly animated enemies and a great chiptune soundtrack. 

Since not many of us have 16-bit consoles hanging around, the Switch or Steam option is most likely. I'm not sure when the Switch releases goes live, but keep an eye out. Also, this looks like a great candidate for an Evercade release!
