A third-person RPG starring a young boy named Astor. Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients tasks us with traversing a fantasy world, eliminating hordes of enemies and finding a way to save the realm from dark forces.
Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients is a fast-paced action RPG. It was developed by a Colombian indie team C2 Game Studios and published by Versus Evil.
Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients is set in Gliese - a fantasy world threatened by dark forces. The game's protagonist is Astor; he embarks on a dangerous journey to uncover the secrets of the world's past, solve the mystery of how its ancient inhabitants vanished and find a way to save the land.
Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients is a third-person game. The game is set in many various locations - beautiful outdoors, mysterious ruins and ancient temples. Astor can transport himself to the spirit realm, letting him reach inaccessible places and acquire valuable hints.
On the way, he must face many opponents; regular enemies and powerful bosses. Combat is fast-paced, requiring constant movement, dodging, counter-attacking and chaining our moves into flashy combos. We can wield many different melee and ranged weapons (we can switch between them at any time, even mid-combo), as well as combat skills.
The mightiest of these is Runic Swarm, mysterious energy Astor wields to materialize weapons, tools, distractions, shields and allies. It also lets him execute powerful finishing moves.
As we progress through the game, we acquire orbs used to develop the protagonist. Over time, we unlock new skills and combos, letting us face greater challenges.
Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients features colorful, cartoonish visuals. It runs on the Unreal Engine 4.

Game Ratings for Astor: Blade of the Monolith Video Game.
ZTGD: 6.5 / 10 by Terrence Johnson
I came into Astor: Blade of the Monolith with all the hope and promise simply because it was NOT a souls game. I still love it for that, but as much as I enjoyed the bright and colorful vistas, the vivid and detailed graphics and the cute characters; I just can’t get past the clunky feeling of the combat. Late game weapons and abilities make things feel better but never perfect. Despite the combat and the forgettable story, I did have some fun in Astor: Blade of the Monolith at the end of the day; the cuteness of the characters won the day.
Video Chums: 4 / 5 by A.J. Maciejewski
I thoroughly enjoyed Astor: Blade of the Monolith. It may not be ground-breaking but what's here will entertain you for many hours.
GBAtemp: 8 / 10
Astor: Blade of the Monolith is an excellent game with some fantastic environments, satisfying combat and some classic boss fights. The game almost has it perfect but I want more out of it, more puzzles, more NPCs, more variation and more to sink into.
