Echo Beasts: The Aster Circuit

This game was created uisng AI. Codex wrote the code, created the art and music. 

Draft your team. Restore the beacon.

Aster’s beacons are falling silent. Draft a team of four and challenge the rivals of the Aster Circuit. Restore the balance, restore the beacons and hear Aster's song. 

Echo Beasts: The Aster Circuit is an original tactical beast battler for Game Boy Advance. Ban from a shared roster, draft six beasts, bring four into battle, and choose two to lead. Every beast has its own moves, finding the right partners is part of the challenge.

Plan your two active beasts’ moves before each round unfolds. Protect a partner, prepare a powerful attack, or turn a close fight around with a well-timed heal. The Echo system rewards teamwork, letting beasts pass temporary gifts to their partners for the next round.

As you progress through the story, you’ll rebuild the Aster Halo and restore balance to Aster. Watch your beacon take shape and hear its song return.
