The much-anticipated pre-registration for the JP server of ETE Chronicle:Re is now live! If you've been eager for a game that lets you soar through the skies, dive into the ocean, and conquer the land with a squad of formidable female warriors, your wait is finally over.
Let me bring you up to speed on the game. Originally launched in Japan, ETE Chronicle received a lukewarm reception due to its unexpected gameplay. Fans anticipated a high-octane mecha action game but were met with a turn-based system that left some feeling disappointed. In response to the feedback, the developers transformed the game for its Chinese release, turning it into a true action title.
This revamped version, now called ETE Chronicle:Re, is set to replace the original JP release, which will be discontinued. Players who invested in the old version will have their purchases carried over to the new one.
The Storyline: A Future in Ruins
Let's delve into what ETE Chronicle:Re is all about. You step into a future where chaos reigns, with humanity locked in an endless struggle. The Yggdrasil Corporation, after acquiring extraterrestrial remains, developed the Galar, a tactical exoskeleton. With this new technology and their massive orbital base named Tenkyu, they turned Earth into a war-torn wasteland.
Survivors banded together to form the Humanity Alliance, wielding a secret weapon: girls piloting the E.T.E., a new breed of combat machines. As an enforcer in this world, you'll join their fight, where every decision you make not only impacts the battle but also the fate of these characters, making your role as enforcer pivotal.
The battle mechanics in ETE Chronicle:Re require quick thinking and even faster action. With four characters at your command, you must adapt your strategies on the fly in this half-real-time system as you navigate through enemy fire.
Some players remain skeptical about the reboot due to their experience with the previous version, which they found monotonous. The constant running and shooting loop, combined with enemies maintaining a fixed distance that made flanking impossible, and a movement system that controlled the entire party simultaneously without individual character control, led to repetitive and frustrating battles. Will ETE Chronicle:Re address these issues? We'll have to wait and see.
Pre-register for ETE Chronicle:Re before August 18th to claim some exclusive rewards. Five lucky winners will receive a 2,000 yen Amazon gift certificate. You can pre-register on their official website or the Google Play Store.
