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. You’ll certainly need to boost Gareth’s skills if you want a chance at tackling the game’s many devious and well-designed bosses. While the visuals could perhaps be a little more colourful, the music and animation are both top-notch.
