Astor is far from a disaster; I think that it could work as an entry level game for 3D action games. However, there is so much cruft in this game that adds nothing to the core experience, and in some ways detracts from it.
Clash: Artifacts of Chaos is glorious to look at with an endearingly oddball approach to character design. A combat system that rewards and a story that goes deeper than the ornery main character suggests.
