Corecell Technology has launched the Indiegogo campaign for AeternoBlade II. The sequel to the time-manipulation action and puzzle side-scrolling platformer is seeking $30,000 in funding for release across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam.
Here’s an overview of the story, via the Indiegogo page:
Story
After the events of AeternoBlade, Freyja has been living a peaceful life with her friends at the Ridgerode village. One day, the dimension begins to become unstable, and the existence of this reality seems to disappear. It is the cause of her actions that changed the world lines. To fix this, her journey begins once again.
On the other side of the world, two warriors, Bernard and Felix, head to Eternity Fortress according to the Chronos Kingdom’s ‘Oracle’ to stop the disaster that is foretold to occur by a strange dark hole that appeared in the sky.
Gameplay
Just like AeternoBlade, AeternoBlade II is an action platform game. Players will use time-manipulation abilities to solve puzzles and to survive in battle. It also features world exploration and RPG elements. Enhanced features such as time-stop, time-forwarding and other actions, will make gameplay even more intense and interesting.
