What is Astalon: Tears of the Earth?
A pixel-art action-platformer set in a post-apocalyptic world, where three explorers enter a tower to save their village. You move through connected rooms, fight monsters, solve puzzles, collect artifacts, and switch among a fighter, rogue, and wizard to reach new areas. A pact allows the explorers to return after death.

What players say
90% of 1,563 reviews are positive · 93% of 15 in the last 30 days
Players praise the pixel art, puzzles, and distinct abilities of the heroes. Their most common complaint is the long trip back through the tower after death, which returns them to the entrance rather than their last save point.
