KEMCO, the publisher known for its extensive library of JRPGs, as well as the odd puzzler, is back with another adventure – Alter Age.
Alter Age is a new RPG that introduces a unique twist to the classic turn-based battle system, allowing players to transform their characters between adult and child forms to strategically navigate encounters.
A Son’s Quest for Recognition
Alter Age tells the story of Arga, a young man driven by a desire to surpass his father, who holds the title of the strongest in the world. Arga’s journey leads him to awaken the Soul Alter class, a unique ability that allows him and his companions to shift between adult and child forms.
This transformation becomes a key element of both the narrative and the battle system, as Arga and his companions face trials and tribulations in their quest for recognition and self-discovery.
Transform and Conquer
The battle system in Alter Age revolves around the strategic use of the Soul Alter ability. Each character’s adult form boasts powerful skills but consumes significant resources, while their child form excels at support and resource efficiency.
The battle array also changes with each transformation, adding a layer of tactical depth to the combat. Players must carefully time their transformations and utilise a variety of skills, equipment, and passive abilities to overcome challenging encounters.
A World of Exploration
Beyond the strategic battles, Alter Age offers a vast world to explore. Discover puzzle dungeons, detour dungeons, and hidden areas as you gather ingredients for cooking, complete unique quests, and uncover the secrets of this enchanting world.
