Edge of Eternity

Mechanics

Edge of Eternity for PC, PS4 and etc. is set in three main locations, and these include a mercantile town called Astrya, a citadel controlled by the authorities of Heryon – the so-called Consortium, and the ruins of Junor – the former capital city. The player explores the game world in the typical third person perspective featuring a dynamically changing camera angle. From time to time, randomly generated monsters and mutants cross the player's path. The game offers an old-school turn-based combat system. However, it features a handful of innovative mechanics as well. For instance, the player can check which of the enemies is going to take an action next or combine their spells to attack with substantially greater power. At the same time, the game includes a world map which allows the player to travel across its surface and resembles its equivalent from the sixth installment of the Final Fantasy series in this aspect.

Technical aspects

Edge of Eternity for PC, PS4 and etc. utilizes the Unity engine and offers average-quality visuals comparable to jRPGs released a few years beack, such as Lost Odyssey, Star Ocean or Phantasy Star Universe. A large emphasis was placed on the soundtrack of the game. The music was composed by Cedric Menendez, apparently inspired by works of Nobuo Uematsu, Jeremy Soul or Hans Zimmer. Additionally, it is worth noticing that the game allows to store the save files in the Cloud, which means one is capable of continuing their virtual adventure on a different platform.
