Astragon

Astragon at a Glance

Astragon is a German publisher founded in 1998 that has released 12 titles on PlayPile as a publisher, with only one game developed in-house by the company itself. The data shows they have been active from 2008 to 2023, though their output has slowed recently with just two games listed from the 2020s compared to eight in the 2010s and a single title from the 2000s. Their catalog is heavily dominated by the simulator genre, which accounts for nine of their twelve releases. They also touch on strategy, adventure, puzzle, and tactical games, but these make up a very small portion of their total work. The company primarily targets PC players, with nine of their 12 games available on Microsoft Windows. They have also released titles on mobile platforms like iOS and Android, as well as a scattered presence on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and Mac. Despite their long history since the late 1990s, the average rating across their four rated titles sits at 59.1 out of 100. This score indicates that their work generally receives mixed reviews rather than critical acclaim. The breakdown shows zero great titles, two good ones, and two mixed-rated games. Looking at specific releases, Drone Swarm from 2020 stands out as their highest-rated game with a score of 78.3. Fishing: Barents Sea from 2018 follows with a 63 rating. Other titles like Farming Simulator 2014 and Coast Guard received scores of 49 and 46 respectively, landing them in the mixed category. Recent activity includes the September 2023 release of Schlag den Star: Das 3. Spiel and another entry into their simulator line, Construction Simulator 3 from April 2019. While their bio states a focus on sophisticated working simulation games, the rating data suggests their execution varies widely across different projects.
