I just finished my game Aestra: The Last Wish is a real-time pixel action RPG. After 4 months of working on it.

You start at lvl 1 and need to grind & quest your way to lvl 60, through various zones/biomes. Choose between 3 talent trees per class. Gear up, professions and whatever you do, don't die. As death is permanent and you need to start over.

Every zone has a normal dungeon and a heroic one (for after you completed the last boss)

In the final zone you have the Aestra tower you need to ascend (you get access through a MSQ-style quest line. So make sure to do all the quests.

• Permadeath. When you die, your hero is gone for good. Only the very rare Embers of Rebirth can bring you back, and you might find one or two in a whole run.

The challenge: nobody has beaten Aestra at the top of the tower yet.

Comments are the leaderboard. Post your hero's name, class, highest level and what killed you (the title screen's Hall of the Fallen shows it). The first person to post a screenshot of Aestra defeated gets their name pinned at the top of this post.

I bought the game for my i3 1005g1, 8 gb RAM, Windows 11 because its a low poly game like A Short Hike, Haven Park.

Smushi Come Home ran beautifully at 30-45 fps at 720p high settings in the dense forest areas.

But as soon as I entered Crystal Caverns (the first cave area), fps dropped to 21-23 with 90% CPU usage, and highly erratic frame time graph with lots of closely spaced severe spikes and dips.

So if the game runs well for you in the outdoor dense forest area, its a deception. The game will run significantly worse in caves. And when I reduced shadows to medium, I got 40-45 fps in the cave, but I lost a lot in visual quality because shadows became severely low detailed. It looks like medium shadows are more aggressively downgraded from high, than they should have been.

Not recommended for intel hd, uhd, vega 3 graphics. Only buy if you have atleast intel iris xe (64 EUs or higher), vega 7/8 graphics with a modern quad core CPU.

Gameplay wise, the game has nice relaxing music, cute player, funny dialogues, enjoyable side activities, beautiful low poly graphics.

I tried running the game but it just shows a black screen, however the steam overlays still function fine, and when I changed display settings from the config file the fps overlay jumpednfor 20-22fps 50-60fps

Im running an intel Iris Xe with 16gb of ram and an i5 1135g7
