Astral is a 2D sci-fi action exploration game. You start out as a stranded space traveller on a remote planet, your ship has crashed, your equipment is broken. All you have left are the basic tools to gather resources and create shelter. This is where your journey begins, a new beginning. You must carve out a new life for yourself, explore new frontiers in an endless universe filled with warmongering factions, greedy trade federations and hostile environments on alien planets. Experience space travel in your very own custom built ship, put your mark on the universe with fully destructible environment, battle powerful enemies with fast paced combat using a huge arsenal of customizable weaponry. Everything with real time physics. With Astral, we want to bring you a new sense of exploration and discovery, experienced either on your own or online with your friends.
