Edge of Eternity is indie developer Midgar Studio‘s attempt to pay homage to classic jrpg’s, while providing an experience as up to date as any modern rpg. The game’s website elaborates:
Edge of Eternity is inspired by the great JRPG tradition for the strategical turn-based combats and the characters progression and by the latest success of western RPG for the vast open worlds to explore and the non-linear stories.
In a few words, our game is all about exploring, building up your characters, fighting and living an adventure to remember.
We will also try to make our contribution to the genre by proposing our own vision of key gameplay features like our advanced weapons improvement system or our association of a world map you can explore and very large open areas.
Based on the screenshots and the pre-alpha footage (below), the game is shaping up nicely and worth keeping an eye on. There’s also a demo to try for Mac and PC.
