Aestra: The Last Wish

About this game

Pick one of nine classes and fight through hordes of undead in haunted graveyards and swamp forests, level up to 100, chase loot and take on three raids. Spell combos fill the screen with damage numbers, other players share the world with you, and death is permanent: lose your hero and you start over.

The maker, Mike Houser (@M__Houser), says he quit his job, spent his last $1,400 and built Aestra without knowing how to code: "The whole game was vibecoded with AI and built with Opus 5.5 and Tesana", an AI game maker. Three extra classes, the Death Metal Bard, the Nightblade and the Cloudbreaker, cost $1 each, and he says more than 2,000 players bought the Bard. Everything else is free to play in the browser, on desktop or phone.
