The Shanghai-based (China) indie games publisher and developer XD Games, today announced with great joy and thrill that they have just kicked-off a closed beta session for their beautiful anime adventure/RPG “Etheria: Restart“ (the said closed beta is available right now for PC via Steam).
The stage is set for players to immerse themselves in a visually enthralling, strategy-packed adventure that combines breathtaking storytelling, dynamic combat mechanics, and limitless customization.
Players are invited to dive into a virtual realm, where mankind coexists with the Animus – beings who wield mysterious Anima powers – as they hide from a catastrophic global freeze. Along with a carefully cultivated team of powerful Animus, players must confront the dangers lurking within the digital utopia.
