KEMCO's latest tactical RPG, Eldgear, plunges players into the magical age of Argenia. This turn-based battle game features ancient technology, compelling mysteries, and epic conflicts.
Eldgear's Story
Argenia, transitioning from medieval times to a magical era, is a land brimming with numerous nations vying for power in uncharted territories. The discovery of ancient ruins containing potent magical technology ignites fierce competition, culminating in a brutal war that eventually subsides. However, the fragile peace remains precarious, with the threat of renewed conflict ever-present.
Central to the narrative is Eldia, a global task force dedicated to preventing another catastrophic war. Their mission involves researching, monitoring, and controlling access to these powerful ancient artifacts and machines.
Gameplay Mechanics
Eldgear's combat system, while turn-based and strategically rich, incorporates intriguing mechanics. The EMA (Embedding Abilities) system allows equipping three abilities per unit, offering tactical flexibility through stat boosts, stealth maneuvers, and support options like acting as a bodyguard. The EXA (Expanding Abilities) system unlocks devastating special moves upon reaching maximum Tension during battles.
The enigmatic GEAR machines add another layer of depth. Some serve as guardians, while others pose significant threats. Experience the world of Eldgear in the trailer below!
