Synopsis

It was just an ordinary cruise ship concert for the four musicians. The leader of the group, known only as Flute (the player names him and the other heroes before the start of the game), never thought that it would end like this... Suddenly, a tornado engulfed the ship, and the poor musician found himself in the magical world populated by angelic creatures and monsters! Naturally, this world, called Astralius by its inhabitants, is in need of salvation. Only the Magic Flute can avoid a demonic threat. Apparently, our hero is the only flautist in all dimensions, since it is now his task to take on the unlikely role of a noble paladin, find other musicians to help him in his quest, and show everyone that music can save the world!
Despite the rather unusual choice of protagonists, Mateki Densetsu Astralius is an “old-school” style Japanese RPG. The player controls the unnamed flutist and other musicians (trumpeter, drummer, etc.), who join the party, explore the top-down world, visit towns to purchase weapons, armor, and items, descend into dungeons, progress automatically, progressing the story in a linear fashion, and fighting randomly appearing enemies in turn-based combat, seen from the first-person perspective. Casting magic spells is called "performing" in the game, although it requires magic points, like in other games of this genre. These magic points must be purchased in special shops.
Unlike most other PC Engine CD RPGs, there are no voiceovers or animated scenes in this game.
