It's okay... I like the graphics and music but the controls bug me.
Reviews for "Astral Guard"
I'm trying to understand the thought process behind giving such a small play area
I really, really wanted to like this, but first off, it's infuriating to have to use the mouse. The screen doesn't allow you to move, but you get stuck with hundreds of bad guys and you're dead. Not great, sorry.
You cannot replay already completed levels, which means you will be stuck grinding very slowly the few enemies in a boss fight or that you will purposely kill yourself on the 2nd wave of an area to grind before you lose the opportunity.
Not only that, but the store sells items based on the level you are in, so being unable to backtrack, means that you can miss items for sale that will never return. In my case, I missed, the rune slots upgrades for the staff, it's a beginners trap.
A little nitpick but buying coin magnets is not as useful as it should be because coins stay on the ground no matter what, they will move in your direction but you can't get them while jumping, plus the magnets effects are quite weak and not worth the money
Oh and it's in no way a platformer, it's rather a shooter
nothing special and pretty boring actually, sorry
