Asteris

Asteris is a 1–4 player action roguelite that combines buildcraft with MMO-style co-op raids. You reshape skills, combine them with passives and gear, and take on the forms of five gods to fight through stages and colossal bosses. Gear and growth earned in each run carry over, strengthening you for the next challenge.

Shape your skills

Across four heroes, 33 active skills can each be reshaped in 24 ways. A slash might become a dash, split into three attacks or unleash a shadow clone. You can combine more than 50 passives, transform techniques with runes and pursue True Name awakenings; both the skills you choose and how you complete them affect your build.

Take a god's form

You can take on the forms of five gods, each with distinct powers and a signature ultimate. Their powers flow through your skills, letting you sweep through enemies with fire, strike with storms or consume foes with the void.

When one player uses a god's ultimate, other players can join in with their own. Divine Resonance sends a blast from each resonating hero and strengthens their damage until their transformation ends, bringing distinct builds together in a single burst of power.

Fight as a party

You can test a build solo or invite Steam friends to the Asterian Deep, a raid dungeon with six bosses. Azhdarak, the Last Dragon, waits at the end. In combat, you dodge telegraphed attacks, cleanse curses and draw enemies away from allies; coordinating roles can overcome fights that damage alone cannot.

Four heroes

• Dark Slayer: Melee damage built around timing, with blade dashes, chains and eclipse executions. Can tank or deal damage.
• Vanguard: A tank with golden gauntlets who splits the ground open. Can tank or deal damage.
• Windrunner: Uses arrows that strike and heal, cyclones and storms of arrows. Can deal damage or heal.
• Aether: Support powered by a star core, with shields, relics and supernovas. Can deal damage or heal.

Progress between runs

Gather loot, enhance gear and push into higher difficulties. You can collect appearances to customize your hero and find equipment in the player marketplace. The progress earned in one challenge becomes the starting point for the next.

The full game includes five stages and the Asterian Deep. Demo characters and progress carry over to the full game on the same Steam account.
