Gameplay Overview:

Following a global catastrophe, humanity's survival hinges on a digital refuge – Etheria. However, this haven also houses the Animus, beings fueled by Anima energy. Initially coexisting peacefully, a Genesis event corrupts the Animus, turning them against humanity.

Players become Hyperlinkers, protectors of humanity within Etheria, tasked with unraveling its dark secrets and restoring peace.

Developed using Unreal Engine, Etheria: Restart delivers strategic turn-based combat with deep team-building mechanics. Experiment with character synergies, skill combinations, and strategic outmaneuvering to conquer opponents.

Each Animus features a unique Prowess system and almost 100 Ether Module sets, allowing for extensive combat style customization. Engage in PvP duels or tackle challenging PvE content.
