Astalon: Tears of the Earth Reviewed by Cyril Lachel on . By mixing elements from Castlevania, Mega Man and Groundhog Day, first-time developer LABS Works has created a glorious new throwback game that will scratch that 8-bit itch. From the urgent storytelling to the wonderful cast of characters to the expertly laid-out tower filled with secrets, Astalon gets just about everything right. The only misstep are the boss designs, which feel like an afterthought when compared to the rest of the game. In a year full of great games inspired by the Belmont clan, Astalon: Tears of the Earth is one of the best. Rating: 85%
