Gravity Game Arise announced that Alterium Shift is now available on Steam Early Access.

Official quote from Drattzy Co-Founder Mottzy: "Alterium Shift is the result of our unwavering passion, reflected in the intricately crafted world, engrossing storyline, and immersive gameplay. I'm thrilled to invite you all into this world we've built and am eager to collaborate with our community to further enrich this extraordinary journey!," said Drattzy Co-Founder Mottzy.

"As the Art Director of Alterium Shift, I am eagerly anticipating your feedback on our meticulously crafted retro-inspired JRPG. Through Early Access, let's collaborate and transform Alterium Shift into an even more extraordinary experience together," commented Drattzy Co-Founder DrassRay.

“The current Early Access version is about 50% complete and offers a stable, enjoyable experience thanks to rigorous testing and refinement. While we anticipate some adjustments to the game's story and dialogue to improve flow and player interactions, these will not be game-breaking changes. Our objective is to maintain stability as we add and refine content, with a similar approach to the one we're employing for this initial launch.”

“The full version of Alterium Shift will boast a number of enhancements over the Early Access release. These include configurable user controls, walkable world maps, a bestiary, additional screen settings (such as CRT effects), battle enhancements, and additional user-friendly features and gameplay improvements. During the Early Access period, we also plan to deliver regular updates on game content, with the goal of making approximately 75% of the total game content available.”

Each character will have an on-map ability that allows them to explore areas the others can't. For instance, Pyra can slice through rocks and Atlas and shoot far off targets. Find hidden treasure or even experience story based elements!

Alterium Shift has a full featured turn-based combat system with a turn-order display for important decision making! Exploit enemy weaknesses and gain experience to grow your party into an unstoppable force! Charge up your Burst Bar for powerful burst abilities! Of course, the loot you earn will also help you a long your journey as well.

Explore the world of Alteria. Meet new and diverse people. Find loot and hidden treasure! Take on new quests. Go fishing! The world is at your fingertips!

Alterium Shift is coming to PC (Steam) in 2023/2024, with PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox being considered.
