Unveiled by XD Games at the Tokyo Game Show this past September, Etheria: Restart has garnered significant attention. Positioned as a potential rival to Honkai: Star Rail, the game boasts impressive visuals and diverse gameplay mechanics, fueling anticipation among fans for its forthcoming release.
Etheria: Restart centers on humanity's final struggle for survival within a visually stunning virtual world. Players will delve into a post-apocalyptic narrative, exploring the desperate measures taken to preserve human existence. Assuming the role of a Hyperlinker, players are tasked with ensuring humanity’s continued survival in the face of impending doom.
A key element of Etheria: Restart is the ability to fight alongside Animus to defend against invading viruses. The character designs, coupled with striking animations, evoke comparisons to Zenless Zone Zero.
Gameplay in Etheria: Restart features turn-based combat combined with a unique summoning system, promising an engaging experience for players. The game's narrative currently spans five main chapters, each containing captivating plot developments and memorable characters.
Combat is fundamental to the game, and the development team has ingeniously blended turn-based mechanics with summoning elements to create a harmonious fusion of traditional and modern RPG gameplay, aiming to captivate players from their first moments in the game world.
The Closed Beta test is underway, from today until January 20th. Interested players can visit the game's official website to register for access and experience the game firsthand.
