A wanderer and his talking bird companion, Karon, journey through unfamiliar worlds as they confront time and fate and search for someone important to the protagonist. The story unfolds across multiple chapters.
Fight through side-scrolling stages with weapons, shields, and powerful abilities. Face groups of enemies and large bosses, adapting your equipment and skills to changing encounters.
Grow stronger by earning experience, improving attributes, gathering materials, and crafting equipment. Mastering gear unlocks additional abilities, while a scale system lets you arrange items for bonuses. Several difficulty settings and an additional post-story chapter extend the adventure.
Players who enjoy ASTLIBRA Revision often point to its unfolding, twist-filled story, satisfying side-scrolling combat, and steady stream of upgrades as reasons they stay engaged. Reviews also frequently praise the soundtrack and the amount of content. Reactions are mixed: some players find the repeated grinding and older presentation tiring, while others enjoy the progression loop; unclear puzzle guidance and sexual humor also put off some reviewers.

14 years in development and more than 1 year for revision, award-winning indie developer KEIZO gave his all into this work. The plot keeps twisting as characters growing in an ever expanding world; Classic themes like time travel and tons of spoilers are all custom-made with the developer's own style. In ASTLIBRA, Story elements are often made into game mechanics, for example, your soul-mate Karon is not just a sidekick to talk with.
With 6 difficulty options, all kinds of players can enjoy the combat system at their own pace, but no one can finish all those contents casually - even after you "beat" the game, the Postscript after Final Chapter will provide extra story, new adventure and fresh system, tapping the potential of skills, equipment, as well as your imagination.
