Asthore the Adventurer

About the game

Asthore the Adventurer was inspired by the mythic Avventura 1. La taverna delle avventure, a text adventure game issued in 1984 for Commodore 64.
Written and coded by Alessandro Castellari (1949-1998), and cloned a few months later as Conan, the game became soon a real must-have all around Italy, being the first (and, at the time, also the only) computer RPG playable entirely in Italian.
40 years later, Studio Gombo wanted to pay a tribute to Castellari's work, by bringing to an international audience of players a mint new game inspired by his little jewel.
