Heart of Eir tells a tragic and beautiful story of friendship and
betrayal. Like most classic RPGs, the story drives the player’s actions
while allowing decisions that impact the world.
Side quests, character
interests, and even alternate endings are designed to strengthen the
game’s finale. We want players to have a strong feeling of completion,
while still offering more to discover on subsequent playthroughs.
When monsters crash into your party, Heart of Eir offers two ways to
battle. Both are designed for fun with either a controller or keyboard
Turn-Based Combat harkens back to classic RPGs with initiative counters,
rivals standing in battle lines, and the sense of martial
politeness as each character takes their turn. We’ve
added a splash of fresh features such as combo-chains that can be
powered up and the potential for counter-attacks from
defending characters.
Active Motion combat will be more familiar to players of recent RPGs.
Jump between party members in real time to crush enemies with each
character’s unique skills, or stay with the character you like the most
and trust the rest of your party to follow strategies assigned before
battle.
Try both combat styles and pick the one you like the best switching
between them any time.
Even though most classic RPGs have a very linear world map, we want
opportunities to stay immersed in Eathral. Heart of Eir has an
explorable world map that connects to detailed area maps. Visit towns,
investigate hidden mountain retreats, and venture through hostile
forests. These maps are larger than you might expect, fleshed out with
ladders to climb, mounts to ride, and lakes to swim. Find hidden
treasure chests, fish for cooking supplies and quest rewards, or simply
ride to the top of a hill and enjoy a pleasant view.
There is more to Eathral than just the main quest, and more to magic
than just combat spells. As you choose how to improve the Magical
Affinities of your party, you will unlock new ways to overcome barriers.
Jump higher with Aire Affinity, swim longer with Agua, walk through
flames with Fyr, and build bridges with Edre Affinity if you have the
might. What hidden paths will you channel the elements to open?
When the world is plunged into chaos, sometimes the greatest boon is an
island of tranquility. Heart of Eir’s development team has a strong
background in Crafting games, so we know how empowering it feels when a
game lets you get creative.
Build a house (or castle) all your own at
Narith Atoll from materials collected on your adventures. Grow it into
the centerpiece of a village populated by people Eir will help over the
course of her adventure. It’s your little slice of Eathral.
