Astonishia Story (어스토니시아 스토리) is a series of 2D RPGs created by the Korean video game developer Sonnori. The first game in the series was released as Astonishia Story for the PC in South Korea in 1994. A sequel, also for the PC, was released in July 1994 in South Korea under the title Astonishia Story: Forgotten Saga. On January 27, 2002, a remake of the original game, Astonishia Story R was published for the Korean GP32 handheld system. It was subsequently ported to the Windows and Sony PSP platforms.

The PlayStation Portable rendition of Astonishia Story R was released in 2005 as Astonishia Story, having been enhanced further and adjusted to fit the PSP's 16:9 screen ratio. The game has since been liscensed by Ubisoft and is to be published in the United States on June 27, 2006 and in Europe on June 30, 2006. This is the first time that a game in the Astonishia Story series has made it to Western shores.

It appears to also have been released as a game for mobile phones in South Korea on April 21, 2004.
