NACON and Midgar Studio are crafting something truly special with their latest endeavor, "Edge of Memories," a captivating JRPG nestled within the universe of "Edge of Eternity." If you’re curious about what they have in store, join me as we dive into the details!
The game introduces us to a world plagued by a devastating force known as the Corrosion, which has already wreaked havoc on the Astryan continent. Across the oceans lies Avaris, a land of nomadic tribes that has, until now, escaped the nightmare. However, its fate hangs in the balance. At the heart of this tale is Eline, a wandering Soul Whisperer who fights tirelessly against the monstrous transformations afflicting the once-vibrant landscapes and inhabitants. A twist of fate awakens a dark potential within her—a power that could be the key to controlling the Corrosion from within her own body.
Yet, the road to salvation is fraught with challenges. Eline is not alone in her quest; she is guided by Ysoris, her unexpected mentor, and Kanta, the shaman prince of a forgotten tribe. Together, they must confront and conquer formidable foes that stand in their path.
The combat in "Edge of Memories" promises to be nothing short of exhilarating, engaging you in intense, real-time battles where you can team up with allies to unleash powerful attacks. Master the art of chaining rapid strikes with devastating techniques, as your companions’ skills become pivotal for key moments in battle. Allow rage to take over and transform into a Berserker, delivering earth-shattering blows that lead into a series of merciless executions.
