The continent is overrun by beast tribes, with the Kingdom of Huther, under its magic barrier, being humanity’s last bastion. The game stars adventurer Elliot and his fairy companion Faie, who seek to lift a curse placed on Princess Heuria of Huther. To do so, they travel to different ages using the Doorway of Time, recently rediscovered within ancient ruins. One of the time periods is the Age of Reconstruction, many years in the past from Elliot's home Age of Safekeeping, where humanity is on the edge of extinction. Its surviving populace reside in a village called Littlehope, trying to live on meagre resources. Heurich is an adventurer from Littlehope, who finds a kindred spirit in Elliot and offers information about ruins and treasures. He is searching for a cure for his childhood friend Diona's illness. Diona has a caring nature, but is forced to remain indoors most of the time due to her illness. She often worries about Heurich's adventuring, which causes arguments between them. Finally, Calotesia is Littlehope's historian. A friend of Heurich and Diona, she notices similarities between Elliot and Heurich and offers him advice while doing her research. The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales features a variety of gameplay systems for players to utilise. In addition to weapons and magicite , Elliot can equip and change accessories at any time.

Exodus Receives Gameplay Trailer Archetype Entertainment released a "first look" gameplay trailer for its sci-fi action RPG Exodus . The two-minute video features a trio of clips: the first being an early-game combat encounter outside Lyonesse, the second a traversal sequence on a Lyonesse space tower, and the third exploration inside an ancient Celestial shrine on Khonsu. The developer stated that a longer-form gameplay reveal is planned for early summer. Exodus is set in a universe where humanity has fled the dying Earth and is looking for a new home while fighting for survival. The game sees players attempt to steal alien weapons and technology from the Celestials, humanity’s powerful foe. However, the effects of these interstellar missions are not straightforward thanks to time dilation, meaning that a days-long mission for players can see decades pass back home. The game is in development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S and is currently planned to release in 2027. The post Exodus Receives Gameplay Trailer appeared first on RPGamer .
