A fresh voyage among the stars
Ex Astris is a new, paid release from Hypergryph — the studio behind Arknights — that drops players into a cinematic 3D role-playing experience. The game blends elements of real-time responsiveness with turn-based tactics as you travel the surface of Allindo in a mobile base, exploring strange landscapes and unexpected encounters.
The split world of Allindo
Allindo is a tidally locked planet, split between extremes of light and darkness. As you cross its surface in your RV, you’ll encounter varied communities and uncover fragments of local lore. Each encounter peels back another layer of the mystery that gathers beneath the planet’s mounting storms.
Combat reimagined: timing meets tactics
At the heart of Ex Astris’s battles is the Obscuran Maneuver system, which rewards both sharp reflexes and careful planning. Key elements include:
- Mastering precise timing to turn defenses into powerful counterattacks.
- Synchronizing attacks with teammates to trigger large-scale combo strikes.
- Reading enemy actions to parry, anticipate, and exploit openings.
People, powers, and personal tales
Every companion you recruit brings distinct combat strengths and a personal narrative that ties into the wider mystery. Progressing through the story reveals their motivations and how their abilities interact in combat, encouraging varied team compositions and strategic experimentation.
What’s known so far and why it matters
Details about the plot and full feature set remain limited prior to the game’s official release, but the combination of a richly textured setting and the innovative Obscuran Maneuver system has generated strong interest. Players looking for a mix of tactical depth and story-driven exploration will likely find Ex Astris compelling.
