ALZARA Radiant Echoes is an “intense” turn-based JRPG inspired by classics like FF10 and Golden Sun, live on Kickstarter.
If you feel like going back to the classic turn-based RPGs with a modern twist, then look no further than ALZARA: Radiant Echoes. This Kickstarter apple-funded project by Studio Camelia takes you to a wonderful world where you will start an epic journey together with your friends.
ALZARA Radiant Echoes takes you to a vibrant world inspired by the classics
Drawing inspiration from classics of the genre such as Final Fantasy X and Golden Sun, ALZARA: Radiant Echoes adds its own twist to the turn-based formula by placing the game in a beautiful world where the power of the four elements is key. These combined with the theme of friendship and unity, make an abundant adventure for players to undertake.
Players will take on the role of Kayla and her allies, who harness elemental magic to defeat the invading forces and restore peace to Alzara. Each of the heroes has unique abilities related to the four elements: Earth, Fire, Wind and Water, and they can use these to face the various types of enemies. And, by combining the elements, they can create even more powerful magic.
The main character designer for the game is Yoshiro Ambeknown mainly for his work in Trials of Mana and Genshin Impact.
An interesting feature of ALZARA Radiant Echoes is the Hero placement and exchange system. You can choose to put some of your heroes on the offensive and others in the back for support. When the ”Echo” is low in the front, you can trade them with the heroes from the back to restore their Echo. This is very interesting because it adds a new strategy in various encounters and makes them more intense because all the heroes will have to work together to triumph.
You’ll also be able to summon Legends during battles as well, which will use some special moves to deal some serious damage to enemies.
Music is an integral part of any JRPG and you will be able to hear the well-known work of Motoi Sakuraba, known for his role in Dark Souls and Golden Sun soundtracks. Sakuraba composed the main theme of the game, in which his well-known mixture of guitar, orchestra and electronic sounds are present.
ALZARA Radiant Echoes looks absolutely stunning and is definitely an amazing indie game that players can look forward to. The game is set for release in 2026 but with no specific time window announced. The developers plan to bring the game to Steam as well as consoles. The game has currently surpassed its initial Kickstarter crowdfunding goal of €100,000 and currently targeting its stretch goals.
