Alterium Shift is a JRPG developed by Drattzy Games LLC and published under the Gravity Indie Games label. It takes place in the world of Alteria, a fantasy realm where the player takes on the role of one of three characters: Amaru, Freyja, or Orin. Each character has its unique backstory and skillset, adding to the game's replay value.
The story revolves around the idea of shifts between worlds. Alteria is constantly in flux, with shifts occurring that bring monsters and otherworldly creatures to the realm. The game's protagonist(s) must travel between the world of Alteria and the realm of the dark elves, trying to discover what is causing the shifts and how they can be stopped.
The gameplay is classic JRPG, with turn-based battles, leveling up, and equipment upgrades. The game's combat system is designed to be challenging, with players having to use strategy and tactical thinking to overcome each encounter. The game features a unique ability to "shift" between worlds, allowing the player to explore new areas and discover hidden secrets.
One of the unique features of Alterium Shift is the inclusion of fishing as a mini-game. Players can fish in various locations throughout the game, with each location having its unique fish and rewards. Fishing can be a relaxing diversion from the game's main story and provides a nice break from the action.
In terms of graphics, Alterium Shift features modern 2.5D graphics that pay tribute to classic 90s JRPGs. The game also features an original soundtrack that complements the game's themes and story.
Overall, Alterium Shift is a promising JRPG that offers a classic gameplay experience with modern graphics and unique features. The game's story, world, and characters are all intriguing, and including the ability to "shift" between worlds adds depth to the gameplay. Fans of classic JRPGs should definitely keep an eye on Alterium Shift.
Alterium Shift is coming to Early Access on Steam soon, according to an announcement by Gravity Game Arise Co. The updated demo was received well by players, and the Early Access release will take players even further into the world of Alteria.
