Astal is an action-platformer that's exclusive to Sega's 32-bit console.
+ The art style is simply gorgeous and the beautiful water colours / pastels bring the otherworldly environments to life.+ A wide range of attacks are at your disposal and your bird friend opens up even more options for strategic play.
+ The bosses feature some multi-part battles with the finale offering a compelling challenge.
- Gameplay is incredibly frustrating at times as some sections rely too heavily on trial-and-error in order to proceed.
- The levels are short and just as you're getting into a flow the action comes to a temporary halt until the next scene begins.
- The stage design has zero standout moments and there's not enough magic to compliment the breathtaking visuals.
- The voiceovers are terribly acted and make Astal's cliched journey from heartless-to-compassionate rather laughable.
