This was my first Saturn game. God how I loved this...masterpiece. The graphics and music are outstanding. Shame this beauty never got a sequel. Its so epic; about someone who has no hope, loses all he cared about, ventures, gains strength and finds meaning in his ways...
Not many people knew this back then, but the game is actually 2 players.. I found it out accidentally one time many years ago while watching my brother play. I picked up the controller and pressed start accidentally.. was able to control the bird lol
it looks like it may have some similarities but when you play it it doesnt ristar is like sonic/kirby and a bunch of other games put together,
but astal is really hard and get the adrenaline running. trust me i have it, ive played it, and ive beaten it, took me 6 years cause i was a kid till i picked it up again
Theres a little trick for this stage, wich also works for other stages. When the bird is doing the diving attack, before she flies towards the ground, blow it. It will do some type of berserker atack wich kills the bats. Problem is I only tried this with co-op, controling the bird to dive in front of Astal before he blows. Well, I thought it was interesting to point it :P
Astal didn't get succes because of the SEGA 32X and SEGA CD (Useless)and the price of Saturn (400$) and SEGA didn't asist at the 3D graphism generation. It's Too Bad. I Love the Musics and the 2D graphism are beautiful, but if it was in 3D graphism this game could have work.
The oen thing i remember about this game is how there was no title on the spine of the box.

Great music in this level. What is annoying is he has to make a noise with ever attack. It gets old

I never beat it though, because I broke it before I got good at games, and it haunts me to this day

Really? I guess when I was I young I just assumed it was single-player and never tried starting a co-op game.

3D graphics would have looked like crap in comparison to the amazing looking 2D graphics it has.

Into the Darkness has the best music in Astal, but it's not as fun to watch as Sea of Clouds.
