Dive into the captivating world of Eldgear, KEMCO's latest tactical RPG that seamlessly blends turn-based battles with a rich narrative set in the mystical land of Argenia. As the medieval era fades into a magical age, the stage is set for epic conflicts and discoveries among the hundreds of nations squeezed into this unexplored territory.
In Eldgear, you're thrust into a world teetering on the brink of chaos. As ancient ruins brimming with powerful magical technology begin to surface, nations vie for control, sparking a brutal war. Although the conflict eventually subsides, the tension remains palpable, with the threat of renewed hostilities looming large.
Enter Eldia, the global task force at the heart of the story. Their mission? To prevent these ancient weapons and machines from igniting another devastating war. Through diligent research, vigilant monitoring, and stringent control over access to the ruins, Eldia strives to maintain peace in Argenia.
The combat in Eldgear is engaging yet accessible. The turn-based system opens up a plethora of strategic possibilities. However, it's the game's mechanics, like the EMA and EXA systems, that add layers of depth. The EMA (Embedding Abilities) system allows you to equip your units with three versatile abilities, ranging from stat boosts to tactical moves like Stealth, which can cloak your units or enable them to act as bodyguards. Conversely, the EXA (Expanding Abilities) system becomes available once you reach maximum Tension during battles, unleashing devastatingly powerful moves.
Adding to the intrigue are the GEAR machines—ancient constructs shrouded in mystery and brimming with power. Some serve as guardians, while others pose a formidable threat. Witness these elements in action in the official trailer below:
Eldgear is currently available on the Google Play Store for $7.99, supporting both English and Japanese languages. While there's no controller support at launch, the game's touchscreen controls offer a seamless experience. If you're intrigued by the blend of magic, mystery, and tactical gameplay, Eldgear is definitely worth considering.
