XD Announces Etheria: Restart, an Action RPG with Strategic Turn-Based Battles
<p Chinese studio XD has unveiled an action RPG called Etheria: Restart, featuring turn-based combat. A trailer showcased during the reveal offers players a glimpse at how various characters fight and interact within the game’s world.
The game blends real-world action with the vibrant, neomodern metropolis of Etheria, a city that exists within digital echoes and tangible streets alike. The setting invites players to experience battles and exploration across two overlapping realms, each influencing the other as events unfold.
According to the official description, players assume the role of a hyperlinker who collaborates closely with the Animus to repel viral intrusions and uncover concealed narratives. The journey promises a blend of fantasy and reality as the protagonist forges their own path through a world that is at once familiar and strange.
The plot places gamers in a somber future after a catastrophic snowstorm reduces large segments of humanity to extinction. Those who survive seek refuge in a virtual domain that becomes endangered once again by an enigmatic virus. The central character must find a way to confront and defeat this threat while navigating the tension between what is real and what is simulated.
Etheria: Restart offers more than a solitary campaign. It also includes PvP battles and cooperative multiplayer, inviting players to team up with friends or challenge others in competitive modes. The game is slated for a release next year on PC, Android, and iOS, and it will be distributed under a shareware model that allows players to try the game before committing. A page on Steam confirms its presence in the platform’s catalog, signaling early visibility for PC gamers.
All images and screenshots from Etheria: Restart can be viewed in the media gallery, illustrating the game’s art direction, character designs, and the dynamic environments players will explore.
