I love the art! It’s truly amazing! Also, I thought it was really clever to use the hero’s invulnerability as a human shield to protect souls from attacks. A great interpretation of the theme.

Elden ZingWonderful game, the mystery of the lighthouse made me hungry to ascend it while also trying my best to save the lost souls. I liked you really had to consider how to tackle the enemies, not just to efficiently get rid of them quickly but also to avoid crossfire into the lost souls.
Great writing, very beautiful sprite work, the music was constant toe tappers into headbangers, and the endings were fantastic, love those plot twists! Outstanding work team Alpha Crush, this game has all the makings of something that could be expanded on into a much more ambitious project that I'd gladly pay money for.
Really liked your takes on the warriors & the way König speaks. Also, amazing logos & music!

Ermitz Encourage-BitzReally cool to see another game this year did a twist on a bullet hell just like us! Having to block the bullets with your sturdy body is such a great idea, and being able to chain kills together is super fun. The art and music are killer as well!

Kall on KönigI'm blown away by this game! The art is perfect, the gameplay is inventive, the music rips, and the lore is very cool. The idea of a sort of reverse bullet hell is such a good idea to make use of an invincible fighter.

Star Raider KönigHere is the link to the game's original soundtrack. Have a listen. https://soundcloud.com/chibenobi/sets/tales-from-the-astral
The art, music, gameplay, and, well, everything in this game just gel so well together. This feels more like a "real" release than a jam game! (No offense to jam games.) Getting the combo hits felt really good.
