Release Date: June 8, 2021
A third person action-RPG combining the most important aspects of Japanese role-playing games with medieval atmosphere and elements of the steampunk subgenre. The game was created by Midgar - an independent French studio, mainly known for mobile apps. The action takes place in Heryon - a fantasy land whose inhabitants have come under the threat of an alien civilization capable of turning both humans and animals into metal monsters.
Edge of Eternity for PC, PS4 and etc. is a third person action-RPG featuring a turn-based combat system. The game combines the best aspects of jRPGs with medieval stylistics and elements of the steampunk subgenre. Edge of Eternity was developed by Midgar – an independent French studio popular for mobile games mainly.
The plot is centered around the land of Heryon endangered by an alien attack after years of peace. The invaders cause death and chaos using a mysterious virus, which is capable of turning both humans and animals into metal monsters. A farmer by the name of Daryon is the only one who stands up to the extremely dangerous enemy. On his own, he sets out for a crusade, trying to save the world and discover his true destiny. One day, he meets Salvia from the ruins of the capital city destroyed as a result of the alien invasion. She is the daughter of the leader of the Nomads.
Edge of Eternity for PC, PS4 and etc. is set in three main locations, and these include a mercantile town called Astrya, a citadel controlled by the authorities of Heryon – the so-called Consortium, and the ruins of Junor – the former capital city. The player explores the game world in the typical third person perspective featuring a dynamically changing camera angle. From time to time, randomly generated monsters and mutants cross the player's path. The game offers an old-school turn-based combat system. However, it features a handful of innovative mechanics as well. For instance, the player can check which of the enemies is going to take an action next or combine their spells to attack with substantially greater power. At the same time, the game includes a world map which allows the player to travel across its surface and resembles its equivalent from the sixth installment of the Final Fantasy series in this aspect.
Edge of Eternity for PC, PS4 and etc. utilizes the Unity engine and offers average-quality visuals comparable to jRPGs released a few years beack, such as Lost Odyssey, Star Ocean or Phantasy Star Universe. A large emphasis was placed on the soundtrack of the game. The music was composed by Cedric Menendez, apparently inspired by works of Nobuo Uematsu, Jeremy Soul or Hans Zimmer. Additionally, it is worth noticing that the game allows to store the save files in the Cloud, which means one is capable of continuing their virtual adventure on a different platform.

Game Ratings for Edge of Eternity Video Game.
RPG Fan: 80 / 100 by Audra Bowling
Edge of Eternity is a decent yet rough-around-the-edges JRPG-styled game that hints at potential greatness in its later stages.
Push Square: 5 / 10 by Jenny Jones
For a game made by a small team it’s very ambitious — but that’s also the problem. Environments are far larger than they need to be, and the title struggles to load in textures and has a fair amount of pop-in. There are also loads of systems, such as party energy levels or crafting, which are never fully explained or seem to be particularly useful... It definitely feels like developer Midgar Studio should have reduced the scope of both the story and some of the gameplay systems, because this may have allowed it to add more polish to the areas that work well. It’s a shame, as the game does have plenty of potential, but it’s a little bit too rough around the edges to fully enjoy.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 4.5 / 10 by Cameron Teague
At the end of the day, Edge of Eternity just sort of is. There is nothing really memorable here, just a bunch of ideas that don’t really deliver much of a kick. The UI is just disastrous, turning any task into a kick in the privates and the combat is just flat, with nothing really exciting about it. The basic premise of the story is strong enough and the characters aren’t horrible, but the dialogue felt rushed far too often. Edge of Eternity as a game is something that I played, but I can’t say I really enjoyed much of it. It’s a big world sure, but there is not a lot to fill it up, leaving a lot of empty space. It’s not the worst game out there and that’s really the best you can say about it.
