Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:
Fantasy is inherently brutal, yet therein lies its haunting beauty. ASTRA: Knights of Veda soars beyond the boundaries of fantasy as you know it.
The continent wilts under the tyranny of ‘Mad King’ Magnus, shrouded in death and anguish. Guided by Veda’s wings, the new ‘Master of the Book’ steps out into the darkness. Embark on an adventure through a world filled with mystery and allure, and turn to the beginning of a grand tale of fate entwined.
Once a thriving world, Planis teeters on the edge of oblivion due to the tyrannical rule of the mad king, Magnus. An army raised to free the masses from the madness of Magnus was met with the event that would doom them all. A giant tree of death rose from the ground, causing those within its deadly bloom to consume the flesh of their allies, and others to burst into monstrous beasts.
The goddess Veda descended onto the world, selecting a new champion who would help rid the world of its curse. You, and the other Knights of Veda, are the only ones who can bring normality back to the world.
