Critic Reviews
Pure Nintendo
By Rachel PoliOverall, Astor: Blade of the Monolith is a fun hack-n-slash action game, at least for a little while. The story and the world aren't strong enough to keep your attention, but the battles are fun in the beginning. Soon enough, you'll feel you've seen all the game offers before you've completed the main story.
DarkZero
By Dominic SheardAstor: Blade of the Monolith has a certain charm and fun element to it, but the game's simplistic combat and repetitive foes take away from the overall excitement.
Console-Tribe
By Luca SaatiThe debut work from this Latin American development team is extremely pleasant in its simplicity, with an enjoyable story, effective gameplay, and impactful art style. Astor: Blade of the Monolith is a good start for C2 Game Studio on consoles and a promising foundation for more ambitious goals.
GBAtemp
By GBAtempAstor: Blade of the Monolith is an excellent game with some fantastic environments, satisfying combat and some classic boss fights. The game almost has it perfect but I want more out of it, more puzzles, more NPCs, more variation and more to sink into.
Nintendo Blast
By Victor Hugo CarretaAstor: Blade of the Monolith is a good gateway to the genre, delivering everything expected in a title with these characteristics. However, much of what could be innovative and strong is not explored, and some design decisions in the Nintendo Switch version could compromise the incredible experience.
