What’s the Game About?

In the wake of a devastating global freeze, humanity has found refuge by uploading consciousness into Etheria, a digital sanctuary. Here, alongside humans, reside the Animus, entities fueled by Anima energy. Life was harmonious until the Genesis disaster corrupted the Animus, turning them into threats.

As Hyperlinkers, you'll step into the virtual realm to defend humanity, unravel Etheria's dark secrets, and strive to save everyone. Powered by Unreal Engine, Etheria: Restart offers a deep turn-based strategic experience with extensive team-building options. Craft synergies, experiment with skill combinations, and devise tactics to outsmart your foes.

Each Animus features a unique Prowess system and nearly 100 Ether Module sets, allowing you to tailor combat styles to your preference. Whether you prefer one-on-one duels in PvP mode or tackling challenges in PVE content, Etheria: Restart has you covered.
