History VideoGame / Astebreed

* ((Fanservice)): Besides the fact that the Nono sisters have SensualSpandex, HartmanHips and [[ShesGotLegs notable legs]], and at least one MaleGaze in what few cutscenes there are, one piece of extra development galley artwork in the UpdatedRerelease notably bumps this up compared to the entire rest of the game without even having to change their clothes. Some of the concept designs also accentuated this even more.

* MultipleEndings: In a strange fashion. The UpdatedRerelease has separate endings between the original game and the arranged, though they're not incompatible; one could even say the Arranged ending happens first, followed by the Original.

A demo version was released in 2012; the final version was released at Comiket 85 on December 31, 2013, and was later re-released digitally via Playism.

* BonusMaterial: The original Japanese pressings includes the game's original soundtrack CD.

* SceneryPorn: One thing is clear that when compared to ''Ether Vapor'', this game is gorgeous.

* UpdatedRerelease: The [=PlayStation=] 4 version features updated graphics, adds an Arrange Mode, re-balances the difficulty, and updated the controls to incorporate the right stick to lock-on to enemies.

* AndIMustScream: Fiona and Estina are more like sentient AI programs onboard their respective machines. [[spoiler: The only way to stop them, [[BrainwashedAndCrazy especially after Fiona is taken over by Estina]], is found to be their real bodies - a pair of CPU cubes they were essentially turned into by the Filune. Thankfully Roy prevents himself just in time from smashing them and they find a solution in the long-term about this.]]

* DecoyProtagonist: [[spoiler: Grato dies at the end of the prologue.]]

* RevisedEnding: [[spoiler: By beating the Arrange Mode, an alternate ending depicts Roy, Fiona, and Estina visiting Grato's grave.]]

* SugarAndIcePersonality: Fiona may have the stubborn personality as Luca from the spiritual predecessor, but [[spoiler: she's very sensitive when it comes to her older sister. Once Estina starts talking down and attacking ruthlessly against her, she becomes very fragile.]]

'''''Astebreed''''' is Edelweiss' SpiritualSuccessor to ''VideoGame/EtherVapor''. It is a ShootEmUp doujin game that, like its spiritual predecessor, uses [[TwoAndAHalfD angle-changing]] [[GameplayRoulette gameplay]]. Now you fight beyond vertical, side, or frontal shooters and more angle changes than before. The plot line has considerably changed, focusing more on a ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''-esque battle than an aircraft one.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Surprisingly, the Filune are this.
** They knew one of their experiments with the Lucis system, Fiona in this case, might rebel. So they developed countermeasures to ensure her re-assimilation or destruction. Her EvilCounterpart Estina, for example.
** [[spoiler:And just because their controlled by massive A.I. clusters or HiveQueen doesn't mean destroying them is an InstantWinCondition. The Nono sisters state Diagra eliminate viruses, replacing the infected parts effectively, and are capable of rebuilding somewhere else.]]

* TheObiWan: Grato was this to Roy.

* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Your mecha's sword can cut through purple and yellow bullets and missiles.

** [[spoiler:Subverted as this is her being programmed by the Filune. Once she snaps out of it, she is much, much nicer.]]

* AndIMustScream: Fiona and Estina are more like sentient AI programs onboard their respective machines. [[spoiler: The only way to stop them, especially after Fiona is taken over by Estina, is found to be their real bodies - a pair of CPU cubes they were essentially turned into by the Filune.

The {{PlayStation 4}} version came out on Japan in March 19, with stateside release slated for the near future.

* TwoAndAHalfD: Taken even further than its predecessor.

* [[spoiler:CantStopTheSignal]]: [[spoiler:Even after the Filune's defeat, the Terran Coalition tried Daniel and other officers as war criminals to avoid responsibility. Unfortunately a few months later, the whole conspiracy was exposed to the public, forcing the Coalition to release the prisoners and eventually dissolve.]]

* [[spoiler:GovernmentConspiracy]]: [[spoiler:It turns out that war with the Filune was already over. In exchange for a ceasefire, the Terran Coalition Forces handed over a large fleet and an ''entire city'' for the Filune for experiment on for the Lucis system.]]

* [[spoiler:HiveQueen]]: [[spoiler:The Filune have a Queen System to control the Fliune, along with massive A.I. clusters such as Diagra.]]

* [[spoiler:IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight]]: It becomes this during the fights against Estina.

* {{Reconstruction}}: Does it to the ShootEmUp genre as a whole. Instead of relying on two dimensions of freedom all the time, it switches views as part of the level. The weapons are made so the player can attack enemies regardless of direction or dimension. Add a hair raising ride and shows the fun once again of what shoot 'em ups are all about.

* HighDefinition: The game boasts an extreme example of this: The game has native support for 4K (3840 × 2160) and even 8K (7680 × 4320)! Quite high for a 2013 doujin game.
