KEMCO just dropped its latest title, Eldgear. It’s a tactical RPG with turn-based battles. You discover ancient machines and try to change the fate of Argenia, a fantasy world. The game has magic, mystery and some epic jargon.
The story takes place in Argenia that’s transitioning out of the medieval era and diving into a magical age. The land is packed with hundreds of nations, all crammed into an unexplored territory, and the new era kicks off some serious conflict.
With ancient ruins full of crazy-powerful magic tech popping up, nations start scrambling to get their hands on it. After a brutal war, the fighting dies down. However, the fear of it sparking back up at any moment keeps everyone on edge.
Eldia is a global task force in Eldgear, who is at the centre of the story. They make sure the ancient weapons and machines don’t cause another all-out war. They research, monitor and try to keep the peace by controlling access to the ruins.
Now, the combat system of Eldgear is not that complex. It has turn-based battles which give you a bunch of strategies to pick from. But it’s the mechanics that sound complex. Take the EMA and EXA system, for example.
EMA (Embedding Abilities) lets you equip three abilities for your units that can be used at any time. You can mix it up with stat boosts or abilities like Stealth to hide from enemies or even act as a bodyguard for your teammates.
On the flip side, EXA (Expanding Abilities) comes into play once you max out your Tension during battles, letting you unleash some seriously overpowered moves.
There are also the GEAR machines, which are full of mystery and power. Some of them act as guardians, while others are more hostile and dangerous. Catch a glimpse of all of these right below!
Eldgear supports both English and Japanese. It’s available right now on the Google Play Store for $7.99. Unfortunately, there’s no controller support at the moment, so you’ll be sticking to touchscreen controls for now.
