Review: Demons of Asteborg / Astebros – Two Excellent Mega Drive Games On Evercade

16-bit power.

Developer Neofid Studios has gained an impressive reputation when it comes to pushing the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis to its limits. Demons of Asteborg (2021) and Astebros (2023) have both been released on the 16-bit system to a warm critical reception and now they’re available in this double-pack on the Evercade.

Demons of Asteborg plays like a mix between a light-RPG platformer and Ghouls ‘n Ghosts; you control the heroic Gareth (and other characters) as he tries to stop the evil Zadimus from wiping out humanity. Gareth has a wide range of moves at his disposal, including a wall jump, dodge roll and downward attack, and can visit various shops dotted throughout the game to gain helpful items and spells.
