Dive into the enthralling world of **Eldgear**, KEMCO's latest tactical RPG that promises a blend of magic, mystery, and epic storytelling. Set in the fantastical realm of Argenia, this game unfolds during a pivotal transition from the medieval era into a magical age, where ancient machines and powerful magic tech are discovered, sparking intense conflicts among the hundreds of nations squeezed into uncharted territories.
The Story of Eldgear
In **Eldgear**, you're thrust into a world where the aftermath of a brutal war still lingers, and the threat of reignited conflict looms large. The discovery of ancient ruins brimming with potent magical technology has nations vying for control, desperate to harness its power. Amidst this tension, the global task force, **Eldia**, stands as the guardians of peace, tasked with researching, monitoring, and controlling access to these ancient relics to prevent another catastrophic war.
Combat and Mechanics
The combat in **Eldgear** revolves around strategic, turn-based battles, offering a plethora of tactical options. The game's mechanics, while not overly complex, introduce intriguing systems like **EMA (Embedding Abilities)** and **EXA (Expanding Abilities)**. EMA allows you to equip your units with three versatile abilities, ranging from stat boosts to strategic moves like Stealth or bodyguard roles. On the other hand, EXA activates once your Tension meter maxes out in battle, enabling you to unleash devastatingly powerful moves.
Adding to the game's allure are the **GEAR machines**, ancient and mysterious entities that can either act as protective guardians or menacing threats. These machines add a layer of depth and excitement to your journey through Argenia.
