What is Astral
Astral is a duel of two mages where every move is a choice of spell. It takes the tension of a fight from fighting games and the draw and combos from card games.
Like a fighting game
Each mage has health and mana bars and a rage meter that shifts with attacks and defenses. Moves are made at the same time and revealed together, so the winner is the one who reads the opponent from past rounds.
Like a card game
Spells come in a draw of three levels, from a quick attack to a mass strike. Effects stack, and synergies turn a pair of weak spells into a deadly combo.

Game modes
Tower Siege
A single-player roguelike: climb the floors and choose your path on the map.
- Battles, events, chests and merchants at every fork.
- Bosses at the end of each floor.
- Skills grow, and the stash keeps part of the loot even after a defeat.
Four neural-network opponents
No human opponent around? Pick a bot. Each of the four learned to play Astral in its own way, with its own temper and strength. For your very first battles there is a simple training bot.
-
Mukhtar
The aggressor. Presses with attacks from round one and gives you no room to breathe — a test of whether you can defend in time.
-
Vyaly
Plays defense. Shields, healing and patience: waits for you to burn your mana, and only then strikes.
-
Mishka
Balanced. Attacks or defends as the situation demands — a good sparring partner before ranked play.
-
Manya
Plays like a seasoned player. Counts mana, builds synergies and punishes every mistake.
About 200 spells
Attacks, shields, curses and mass strikes across three levels. Every spell costs mana, and the strongest ones also need the right moment.
Fire Arrow
Level 16 damage and burning on the next turn.
Chill
Level 1Frostbite on all enemies: damage, lower max health and weaker healing.
Astral Parasite
Level 1Burns the target's mana for four rounds and multiplies when they restore it.
Radiation
Level 1Damages all enemies and cuts their maximum health.
Banishment
Level 1Stuns the target but shelters it in a Sanctuary from attacks and effects.
Meteor
Level 211 damage, and a stun against a healthy enemy.
Inferno
Level 2A mass attack that burns every enemy at once.
Offering to the Astral
Level 2Dispels every player and heals the caster for each effect removed.
