Most RPGs today have a more active battle system where you purposefully move your character while hacking and slashing any enemy you come across. However, if you want to take your time when battling monsters, you may want to try Astria Ascending.
Developed by Artisan Studios, this turn-based JRPG is complete with hand-drawn visuals and an emotional plot.
Recently, it has received an update that brings new features, bug fixes, and improvements. Patch 1.0.107 adds an option to let you set the video resolution, as well as the ability to put the game in windowed mode. Additionally, the mouse cursor will now be hidden if you are using a gamepad.
For fixes, the developers implemented a trap to prevent the infinite falling glitch in Sagittarius Temple. Also, the “Weakness of the Noises” side quest, which was previously impossible to complete in some instances, has been resolved.
