What’s the Game About?
In *Etheria: Restart*, a global freeze has plunged Earth into chaos, prompting humanity to upload their consciousness into a digital sanctuary known as Etheria. This virtual world is also home to Animus, beings powered by Anima energy. Initially, humans and Animus coexisted peacefully, but a catastrophic event called Genesis corrupted the Animus, turning them hostile.
As a player, you'll step into the shoes of a Hyperlinker, one of humanity's defenders in this virtual realm. Your mission? Uncover Etheria's dark secrets and save everyone from the looming threat. Built on Unreal Engine, the game offers a rich turn-based strategy experience with extensive team-building options. You'll craft synergies, experiment with skill combinations, and strategize to outsmart your opponents.
Each Animus comes with its own Prowess system and nearly 100 Ether Module sets, allowing you to customize combat styles to match your playstyle. Whether you prefer one-on-one duels in PvP mode or tackling challenges in PvE content, *Etheria: Restart* has you covered.
