The briefing

About this game

Astaroth: The Angel of Death is an action-platform game in which you guide Ozymandias through the catacombs of Astaroth’s domain.

Along the way, you can collect nine mind powers, including levitation, Pyrokinetics, and shape shifting. Use these abilities while jumping and ducking past obstacles and battling giant scorpions, beholders, and fire elementals.

Progress requires defeating Astaroth’s three guardians of the soul: a sphinx, a three-headed hydra, and a marlith demon. After overcoming them, Ozymandias must confront Astaroth in a battle of the minds using the collected powerups.
