Embark on a journey to save the beautiful world of Umbra, a harsh planet that stopped spinning thousands of cycles ago. What started as a mission to rescue Amon’s uncle from the clutches of an ancient cult, soon spirals into an adventure that was centuries in the making. You must bring together this group of unlikely heroes to stop the ruinous past from repeating itself.
“... improves upon the original in almost every way while keeping the best parts intact. If you love classic turn-based JRPGs Earthlock is definitely and RPG to keep in mind.”
“...easily a title that has gained my interest again and has me flourishing in nostalgia as I explore the land of Umbra with the same zest that I had when I travelled around Gaia as Cloud Strife investigating the secrets of the Shinra Corporation.”
“...If you’re looking for a fresh-feeling JRPG that still calls back to the classics, this is a lovely choice.”
“For RPG lovers: If you want to find out if you like this genre, this is a good bet. For veterans, a game with guaranteed fun!”
“…the perfect type of game for the Switch and is a breath of fresh air in the exceedingly complicated RPG genre. For fans of classic JRPG’s, this is a love letter to us and is well worth your time.”
