The highly anticipated pre-registration for the Japanese server of ETE Chronicle: Re is now open! If you crave a game where you command badass girls, soaring through the skies, diving into the ocean's depths, and conquering the land, your wait is over.
Let's delve into the game's history. ETE Chronicle initially launched in Japan but received a mixed reception due to its unexpected turn-based gameplay, disappointing players who anticipated high-octane mecha action. In response to this feedback, the developers completely overhauled the game for its Chinese release, transforming it into a true action title.
This updated version, ETE Chronicle: Re, replaces the original Japanese release, which is being shut down. Players who invested in the original will have their purchases transferred to the new game.
A Future in Ruins: The Storyline
ETE Chronicle: Re plunges you into a chaotic future where humanity struggles for survival. The Yggdrasil Corporation, having acquired extraterrestrial remnants, developed the Galar, a powerful tactical exoskeleton. Using this technology and their massive orbital base, Tenkyu, they've reduced Earth to a warzone.
Humanity's hope lies with the Humanity Alliance, utilizing the E.T.E., a new generation of combat machines piloted by skilled female operators. As an enforcer, you'll join their fight, where your decisions directly impact both the battles and the fates of these characters.
ETE Chronicle: Re's battle system demands quick thinking and even faster reflexes. Commanding four characters simultaneously within a half-real-time system requires constant strategic adaptation amidst enemy fire.
Some remain skeptical, citing repetitive gameplay in the original due to a fixed enemy distance preventing flanking maneuvers and a rigid movement system controlling the entire party simultaneously. This inflexibility resulted in monotonous and frustrating battles. Will ETE Chronicle: Re address these issues? Only time will tell.
Pre-register for ETE Chronicle: Re before August 18th for a chance to win one of five 2,000 yen Amazon gift certificates. Pre-registration is available on the official website and the Google Play Store.
