About this game
The humans are at war with the Filune alien race.
Unfortunately they have the better cards, but humanity has one last ace in its sleeve: a powerful mech.

The player takes control over its pilot Roy Becket to throw back the aliens.
The story, which is told in both anime cutscenes and chatter during gameplay, also features additional characters like two girls Fiona and Estina scarred by Filune experiments and Roy's adoptive father Grato.
Astebreed is a scrolling shooter without a fixed perspective: during the six levels, the perspective shifts dynamically between side-scrolling, top-down and a behind view.
The mech has three basic attacks, all with two sub-variants: regular shots, homing attacks and melee attacks with the blade.
Additionally there are three powerful EX-attacks available which can only be activated when the yellow bar (automatically refills over time) is full.
The player only has one life (plus continues), but the mech has a replenishing shield which can take a certain amount of damage.
The achieved high-score depends on multiple factors, most importantly the tension meter (basically a multiplier) and shield bonuses for avoiding damage.
The later released PlayStation 4 version has improved graphic effects and a new additional game mode called Arrange.
The only changes are the control system (the mech can lock on to enemies and the controls can be customized) and a different ending movie.
Additionally there are a few minor changes such as removed profanity or adjusted trophy requirements.
About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Astebreed for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Astebreed to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2014.

No market sales have been tracked yet for Astebreed — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
