Gameplay Overview:

Following a global freeze, humanity's survival hinges on uploading consciousness to the digital sanctuary of Etheria. However, Etheria is also home to the Animus, beings fueled by Anima energy. Their once harmonious coexistence shattered after a disaster known as Genesis corrupted the Animus, turning them hostile.

Players become Hyperlinkers, protectors of humanity in this virtual realm, tasked with uncovering Etheria's dark secrets and saving everyone.

Powered by Unreal Engine, Etheria: Restart offers deep turn-based strategic gameplay with extensive team-building options. Experiment with character synergies, skill combinations, and strategic thinking to outmaneuver opponents.

Each Animus possesses a unique Prowess system and access to nearly 100 Ether Module sets, enabling players to customize combat styles. Engage in intense one-on-one PvP duels or tackle challenging PvE content.
