JP Server Opens Pre-Registration for ETE Chronicle

The highly anticipated pre-registration for the Japanese server of ETE Chronicle: Re is now open! If you've been searching for a game that lets you dominate the skies, plunge into the ocean, and storm the battlefield alongside a squad of powerful heroines, your wait has finally ended.

Here’s a quick overview of the game’s background. ETE Chronicle was initially released in Japan, but it garnered a mixed reception due to its unconventional gameplay. Many players expected a fast-paced mecha action experience but were instead met with a turn-based system, which left some fans disappointed. In light of player feedback, the developers undertook a major overhaul for the Chinese version, reimagining it as a full-fledged action game.

This revitalized edition, rebranded as ETE Chronicle: Re, is set to succeed the original Japanese release, which will be discontinued. Players who made purchases in the original version will have their investments transferred to the new game.

The Storyline: A Future in Ruins

Let’s explore what ETE Chronicle:Re is all about. The game immerses you in a chaotic future where humanity is embroiled in a relentless conflict. The Yggdrasil Corporation, after salvaging the remains of extraterrestrial beings, created the Galar, an advanced tactical exoskeleton. Armed with this powerful technology and a massive orbital station called Tenkyu, they plunged the Earth into a war-ravaged state.

In the aftermath of global collapse, the survivors united to form the Humanity Alliance. Their most potent asset? A team of girls who pilot the E.T.E., a new generation of combat machines. As an enforcer in this world, you'll join their struggle. Every choice you make not only influences the outcome of battles but also shapes the destinies of these characters, underscoring the importance of your role.

The combat mechanics in ETE Chronicle:Re also deserve attention. With a squad of four characters under your command, you must strategize swiftly and react even faster. The game’s semi-real-time system ensures you are constantly adapting your tactics on the fly amid intense enemy encounters.

Some players remain cautious about the reboot, given their past experience with the original version. In their view, the previous gameplay loop of constant running and shooting grew repetitive, as enemies maintained a rigid distance, making strategic flanking maneuvers impossible. The movement system also controlled the entire party as a single unit, offering no individual command over characters. This lack of flexibility often resulted in monotonous and frustrating engagements. Whether ETE Chronicle:Re will address these concerns remains to be seen.

Pre-register for ETE Chronicle:Re by August 18th to claim exclusive rewards. Five lucky winners will receive a 2,000 yen Amazon gift card. You can pre-register via the official website or the Google Play Store.
