Astonischika
Lead three heroes up a map full of monsters and treasure – with the boss waiting at the top.
Every run is a new path. Fight, rest at a campfire, open chests or visit a merchant – you choose the way. Fall in battle and your heroes still keep their levels and gear, so the next run starts stronger.
Eight classes, over a thousand monsters and loot that is different every time keep each run fresh. Your progress is saved, and a run continues right where you left off.
- Pick three of eight heroes: warrior, mage, cleric, rogue, vampire, thief, druid and archer
- Turn-based battles against over a thousand creatures
- Collect weapons, armour, rings and complete item sets
- Try your luck in mini games at the treasure chests
- Shops, trainer, tavern and more in the city between runs
- Heroes grow all the way to level 9999
- Pixel art, music and sound
Available in 44 languages. Plays completely offline.
Compatibility: Uses the C library of the system (may need glibc 2.34 or later)
Usage
Astonischika is available as an AppImage which means "one app = one file", which you can download and run on your Linux system while you don't need a package manager and nothing gets changed in your system. Awesome!
AppImages are single-file applications that run on most Linux distributions. Download an application, make it executable, and run! No need to install. No system libraries or system preferences are altered. Most AppImages run on recent versions of Arch Linux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Red Hat, Ubuntu, and other common desktop distributions.
This AppImage uses the C library of the system and may need glibc 2.34 or later. It does not run on distributions that use a different C library (such as musl on Alpine Linux) or an older glibc.
Running Astonischika on Linux without installation
Unlike other applications, AppImages do not need to be installed before they can be used. However, they need to be marked as executable before they can be run. This is a Linux security feature.Beware! AppImages are usually not verified by others. Follow these instructions only if you trust the developer of the software. Use at your own risk!
Download the Astonischika AppImage and make it executable using your file manager or by entering the following commands in a terminal:
chmod +x ./*.AppImageThen double-click the AppImage in the file manager to open it.
Sandboxing Astonischika
If you want to restrict what Astonischika can do on your system, you can run the AppImage in a sandbox like Firejail. This is entirely optional and currently needs to be configured by the user.
Updating Astonischika
If you would like to update to a new version, simply download the new Astonischika AppImage.
The Astonischika AppImage also can be updated using AppImageUpdate. Using this tool, Astonischika can be updated by downloading only the portions of the AppImage that have actually changed since the last version.
Integrating AppImages into the system
If you would like to have the executable bit set automatically, and would like to see Astonischika and other AppImages integrated into the system (menus, icons, file type associations, etc.), then you may want to check the optional appimaged daemon.
Note for application authors
Thanks for distributing Astonischika in the AppImage format for all common Linux distributions. Great! Here are some ideas on how to make it even better.
Pro Tips for further enhancing the Astonischika AppImage
Please consider making the Astonischika AppImage self-contained, so that it does not depend on the C library of the system and runs on more distributions: ship the C library including its loader (ld-linux-*.so.*) and use it to launch the application, or link statically.
Thanks for shipping AppStream metainfo inside your AppImage. Please open a pull request on https://github.com/AppImage/appimage.github.io/blob/master/data/Astonischika if you have changed it and would like to see this page updated accordingly.
