Forge your Fate in Medieval Fantasy ARPG Asterfel — Playtest Begins on April 17th!
A return to classic Early-2000's RPG roots — take your first steps in a world of exploration, choice, and survival.
[Cologne, Germany - April 9, 2026] — Factions clash for this divided nation's future — how will you shape its destiny? The team at Mysteria Studio just announced the upcoming playtest for their dark fantasy ARPG, Asterfel, beginning April 17th and will be featured during Steam Medieval Fest. This is your first chance to explore Asterfel's lush open world, test out which combat styles you prefer, and slay the enemies that terrorize the island.
Asterfel is an upcoming third-person ARPG inspired by RPGs from the early 2000s. You find yourself shipwrecked on the island nation of Asterfel: an island plagued by a king's greed. Every action you take impacts your fate, as well as the fate of the island. Choose which faction to align yourself with, discover more about the world around you through story-rich quests, and steel yourself to free Asterfel from the terrors that plague the land.
Key Features:
-
A Cursed Island Shaped by Greed - Besieged by conflict, the King's magical mines have stirred up mutant terrors, and roused an ancient God from its slumber. Nature and magic have become erratic, and dead things crawl out of their graves to wreak havoc.
-
Three Factions, A Nation Divided - Three factions rule over the divided island of Asterfel: the Crown Wardens, the rebellious Kindred, and the magical Scholars. Choose which to work with, or lend your sword to all, as you decide on your path.
-
Let Steel And Magic Lead Your Way - An intense, in-depth combat system allows you to wield swords, bows, or magical runes to cast spells. Whether up close or afar, tackle fights your way. Mix up your play-style and upgrade your abilities to overcome the odds.
-
Choose Your Own Fate - You are a shipwreck survivor, new to Asterfel. Take on quests, align with factions, gather resources, and craft your own gear.
-
A World That Fights Back - Discover arid landscapes, dense jungles, and ancient ruins, where terrors lurk behind every corner. The further abroad you travel, the more difficult enemies become.
