Limited Run #445: Astalon: Tears of the Earth Collector's Edition (PS4)

Some of the best collector's editions aren't about size. They're about curation. Limited Run #445: Astalon: Tears of the Earth Collector's Edition for PS4 proves that a tight, thoughtful package can outshine boxes twice its size.

Inside you'll find the physical PS4 copy, a dedicated art book, a three-disc original soundtrack featuring twelve never-before-heard bonus tracks, and a magnet set. That three-disc OST is the headliner. Twelve bonus tracks that you can't hear anywhere else, pressed onto physical media for a game whose music already punches well above its weight class.

For soundtrack collectors, this alone justifies the chase. The art book dives into the game's retro-inspired visual design, giving you a closer look at the pixel art and world-building that made Astalon a sleeper hit among Metroidvania fans. It's the kind of companion piece you actually flip through more than once.

The magnet set rounds things out with practical flair, perfect for a collector's fridge or a magnetic display board. Astalon flew under a lot of radars at launch, which means this collector's edition didn't get the massive print run some bigger titles enjoy. In Limited Run's numbered PS4 catalog, the mid-400s represent a mature phase of their output, where curation and quality started consistently outpacing quantity.

Number 445 is a quiet gem. If you know, you know. And if you don't know yet, this is your invitation.
