About the game
With an ever-changing set of dice and enchanted Sentinels, save the star system by Purifying Corrupted enemies and a fallen goddess.
Astrea is a dice-deckbuilding roguelike that flips the script on traditional deckbuilders by using dice instead of cards and a unique dual “damage” system: Purification vs. Corruption. Build a powerful set of dice strong enough to cleanse Astrea’s rampant corruption and save the Star System.
Synopsis
Long ago, when ancient ruins were thriving civilizations and people lived in idyllic joy, a mystical star governed all. Its loyal disciples, the Six-Sided Oracles, received blessings from the star and, through them, had the strength to seal the celestial gifts within magical relics.
Everything was in perfect harmony—until the fateful day… the day of the Crimson Dawn Cataclysm. A fiery calamity from the heavens engulfed the entire star system, shattering the foundations of society and corrupting the souls of the weak. The star’s disciples were lost in the chaos, and their creations scattered across a vast, ruined world. Was there anyone left capable of wielding such power?
Eras later, a mysterious call awakened the young and brave descendants of those beings, guiding them to the ruins of the ancient disaster. There, they discovered the original Six-Sided Oracles, a vengeful deity, and a Corrupting Plague. Thus begins the journey of the new Oracles to save the star system and uncover the secrets of its destructive history.
