Gameplay Concept

Asterion is an attempt to combine the elements of role playing games that provide for a deep and varied experience, with action and rhythm games that involve real-time, skill-based experiences.  This section will detail which major concepts are borrowed from each genre and how they are incorporated into Asterion.

Role Playing games:

• Collecting a wide variety of items and weapons
• Managing inventory
• Taking on many different quests
• Growth of the player's avatar over time
• Navigating a large, open game world (non-linear progression through the world)

Action games:

• Using weapons and items to attack enemies in real time
• Testing of the player's hand eye coordination and reaction time
• Gameplay and story motifs involving combat, blood/gore, violence and death
