Play Astonishia Story Online

Astonishia Story feels like someone took a classic JRPG and gave it a quiet, tactical twist. You start as Lloyd, a military guy who gets ambushed during what should’ve been a simple escort mission—turns out that stolen wand he’s after is way more trouble than it’s worth. The overworld’s got that old-school charm where enemies wander around, so you can dodge fights or dive in if you’re feeling bold.

Combat’s the real standout, though. Instead of just trading blows, you’re moving your party on a grid, trying to position your archers just right or keep your healer out of sword range. It’s simple but makes you think twice before rushing in. The story’s got that 90s RPG weight too—elves getting pushed around, revenge plots, and a queen caught in the middle. Not groundbreaking, but it’s got heart, and the MS-DOS pixel art gives it this rough, nostalgic vibe.

If you’ve ever wished Final Fantasy had a bit more chess in its battles, this might scratch that itch.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
