Astral Frontier is the latest Android retro-RPG from Kemco

Android owners who are looking for a new role-playing game with some retro-style graphics need look no further. Kemco has just launched free and “premium” versions of its turn-based space fantasy RPG Astral Frontier in the Google Play Store.

Here’s the basic storyline from Kemco:

The tiny village of Japina is one of the last human settlements in a world where environmental degradation has pushed humanity to the brink of extinction. Our fifteen year old hero who lives there has already lost his parents, siblings, and childhood friend, Leneria. Consumed by sadness, he agrees to an arranged marriage to save his village on the very same day that a chance encounter will alter the fates of him, his village, and all of humanity…

Astral Frontier allows the player to encounter other characters in his quest to save humanity, and their skills and abilities can be used to defeat enemies.

Kemco has release a free version of Astral Frontier, that it claims allows players to play the full version without spending any real money. There are optional in-game purchases to speed up play. In addition, there is a “premium” version of the same game that offers the same content and in-game purchases, but gives you a running start with some in-game currency to begin with. It is usually priced at $4.99 but for the launch the price has been reduced to just $2.99.
