KEMCO's latest tactical RPG, Eldgear, plunges players into the magical world of Argenia, a land brimming with nations and ancient, powerful technology. Following a devastating war, the fragile peace is maintained by Eldia, a global task force dedicated to controlling access to the potent artifacts found in ancient ruins.
The Eldgear Story:
Argenia is in a period of transition, moving from a medieval past into a magical future. This shift has ignited conflict between nations vying for control of the newly discovered technology within these ruins. Eldia is central to the narrative, striving to prevent another catastrophic war.
Gameplay and Mechanics:
Eldgear features a straightforward turn-based battle system, yet incorporates intricate mechanics. The EMA (Embedding Abilities) system allows players to equip three abilities per unit, offering strategic options like stat boosts or tactical abilities such as Stealth. The EXA (Expanding Abilities) system unleashes powerful moves once Tension is maxed out during combat. The enigmatic GEAR machines, some benevolent guardians, others hostile threats, add another layer of depth to the gameplay.
Availability and Note:
Eldgear is currently available on the Google Play Store for $7.99, offering support for English and Japanese languages. Currently, controller support is absent, necessitating touchscreen controls. For more gaming news, check out our coverage of Pocket Necromancer.
