The much-anticipated pre-registration for the JP server of ETE Chronicle:Re is now live! If you’ve been eagerly waiting for a game that lets you take to the skies, dive into the ocean, and storm the land alongside badass girls, your wait is finally over.
Let me get you up to speed on the game. ETE Chronicle was initially launched in Japan but received a lukewarm reception due to its unexpected gameplay. Many anticipated a high-octane mecha action game but were met with a turn-based system that disappointed some players. In response to the feedback, the developers revamped the game for its Chinese release, transforming it into a true action title.
This updated version, now known as ETE Chronicle: Re, is set to replace the original JP release, which will be shut down. Players who invested in the old version will see their investments 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 supreme, with humanity locked in an endless struggle. The Yggdrasil Corporation, after acquiring the remnants of extraterrestrial beings, developed the Galar, a tactical exoskeleton. With their new technology and a massive orbital base named Tenkyu, they turned the Earth into a war-torn wasteland.
The survivors banded together, forming the Humanity Alliance. Their secret weapon? Girls piloting the E.T.E., a new breed of combat machines. As an enforcer in this world, you’ll join them in the fight. Every decision you make impacts not only the battle but also the fate of these characters, making your role as an enforcer crucial.
And let’s not overlook the battle mechanics of ETE Chronicle:Re. With four characters under your command, you must think fast and act even quicker. The game’s half-real-time system means you’re constantly switching strategies as you navigate through enemy fire.
Some players still harbor doubts about the reboot, given their experience with the previous version didn’t meet expectations. They found the constant running and shooting loop monotonous, as enemies maintained a fixed distance that made flanking impossible. The movement system also controlled the entire party simultaneously, with no individual control over characters, leading 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, and you can snag some freebies. Five winners will receive a 2,000 yen Amazon gift certificate. You can pre-register on their official website or the Google Play Store.
