Demons of Asteborg Astebros 

 

When it comes to Evercade cartridges anymore I have little to no idea what I will be getting in most cases. Demons of Asteborg Astebros is a great example. About all I knew was there are two indie video games on it. These indie video games were recently made for the 16-bit era. The two games on this cartridge are Demons of Asteborg and Astebros. I played these two video games for a live stream on our Rumble channel.

I will openly admit that I am not into Demons of Asteborg Astebros. I did not like Demons of Asteborg Astebros. I did not have fun playing Demons of Asteborg Astebros. I do not mind the retro graphics. I do not mind the retro controls. I do not mind the retro music. There is one thing I really did not like about Demons of Asteborg Astebros. The one thing I did not like was the convuluted controls to be able to progress through the levels. I ran into a spot where I got completely and totally stuck. I died again and again in this game. Why did I keep dying? I did not know to do a combination of two buttons to be able to get the drawbridge down. I hope that has a lot to do with the Evercade and not the game, but I do not know for certain.

The issues families can have with Demons of Asteborg Astebros are false gods, magic, violence, witches, demons, and more. Each of these games has a rather deep storyline that the player is introduced to when they start playing these games. I suppose that makes sense in some regards. The graphics are old. The music is old. So the thing the creators of these games focused on was a storyline that they hoped would engage and interest gamers. As a Christian gamer it did not reach me very well. Which is sad they did not consider targeting the super majority of Americans based on our beliefs.

I have said it before and I will say it again. I wish there were more than two games on the Demons of Asteborg Astebros cartridge. I know Blaze Entertainment does this with quite a few indie cartridges. It is nice to get a physical copy of these games. I just wish there were more than two. I am sure there is more than enough memory on the cartridge to include mode than the two games included. I doubt I will ever come back to this cartridge.
