Chinese mobile game developer Hypergryph released the pre-alpha footage for their next title Ex Astris. Unlike their previous megahit Arknights, this game will be a paid episodic (premium) RPG for mobile. The combat will be turn-based with some real time elements injected into the mix. The visuals look pretty good for a pre-alpha build. Check out the announcement trailers below:
Story:
Our destination is on a planet that is tidally locked. Creatures are rarely seen as polar nights and polar days coexist, but a highly advanced civilization exists and remains untouched by any foreign invaders. At this age of discovery, the land would either be crowded with ventures for marketing trading or turned into a deserted battlefield. Fortunately, the situation here is different.
No one would like to settle down on a planet as such, including humans who are satisfied with life on the earth. The planet was abandoned long before the Act on Forbid Unauthorized Landing and Commercial Activity within the Planet Territory comes into effect. This is true, the recession discourages our enthusiasm in exploring unknown terrain, except for some of us… those who seek out the truth.
