The Astyanax, referred to as simply Astyanax in the NES version, is a side-scrolling action-adventure game designed by Aicom for arcades and the Nintendo Entertainment System. Although the plots differ in the two versions, gameplay remains relatively similar. The player has a life gauge, a strength gauge that fills automatically, and a magic gauge for spells. The arcade version incorporated co-operative play, which the NES version did not.
The story follows a young 16 years old boy who is suddenly transported into a different reality (dimension) while walking to school. He appears in the kingdom of Remlia and meets a fairy named Cutie. She tells him that Rosebud, the princess of the kingdom, has been abducted by an evil wizard called Blackhorn and asks him for a help. He agrees and together they set off for the castle where Rosebud is being held.
