Play & Mechanics

Aether Gazer throws combat into the adventure and slaughter style of Honkai Impact 3rd.

Nxemen Combat - Man, was that underwhelming. It meant fighting single-layer as a player, responding to quickly launched attacks and combo dodges to most enemies.

Al-Atunh Melbourn – Instead of wrestling controls between the characters, let the AI place them as allies in combat. This allows you to mix and match team compositions that you wish.

Players have their own choice of strategies.

The game implements rapid and fluid combat that results in rewarding, lively fights.

Graphics & Sound Design

Aether Gazer boasts Anime-graphics of TOP quality with a futuristic setting heavy on the cyber theme. Characters are stylishly designed, and effects during battles are cool.

Smooth animations – Character movements during battle are irably programmed.

Great Cutscenes – Narrative and animated cutscenes have been put into marketing pieces of the story.

Super Voice Acting – This game features Japanese voiceover options to smoothen your manga dream, inserting an inherently formal feeling into the cutting-edge game world setting.

The music swims energetically along with the visual tone. Correspondingly, the sound effects (clashes of weapons, skill activations) and a backward echo of happiness add cutting force to the events in real time.

Combat & Gameplay Depth

There is a strong point wherein the battle system becomes the greatest part of this game. Instead of character swapping like within other gacha RPGs, focus on only one main character having AI teammates. Thus, battles feel quite different from traditional action RPGs with team-based action.

Some players would prefer more, however, for AI teammates over games that provided character swapping.
