In Ethernal, a roguelite/FPS, you will face hordes of enemies with a fast action gameplay, many weapons and powers that allow for a smooth killing experience. Explore Saturn's moon, Titan, while you uncover the secrets of the ERE facilities.

General Gameplay

You will have powers like "Swap" if you need to escape or close distance, "Shield" to protect yourself from enemy attacks?or "Blackhole" to swallow your enemies and their bullets, sending them to perpetual destruction. Play aggressive with a full auto shotgun, keep your distance and feel like a gunslinger with your Atlas revolver, grab any of the radioactive weapons to feel the power of the atom, or just get your electric SMG to shock those bastards straight to robohell.



Choose between 9 ammo types, 36 weapons, and 10 powers to savage your way out of Titan, fighting against 30 different enemies across 10 different procedural maps, each one with their unique style and dangers.

Progression

The game difficulty is divided in tiers, going from 1 to 10. As you progress into the game, the new mapsets/biomes you find will have a new tier assigned to them, scaling the difficulty of the game. Along with it, there are three ways to progress in Ethernal: Weapons, Powers and Improvements.

• Weapons: Every tier has 3 unique weapons you can find and unlock. The higher the tier, the more powerful these weapons are. Once you unlock them, they will be able to spawn at the Weapon Crates.
• Powers: You can also find and unlock new powers. These powers do not scale with tiers and are completely random and unbreakable. They are meant for the player to choose the power build that better suits their playstyle. You can change them at the Power Stations.
• Improvements: You can find at least one store at each level, sometimes at plain sight, sometimes hidden. In these stores you can pay for permanent or temporal improvements to your character, such as more injections, health, ammo capacity, resistance to damage, damage buffs, and more.

If you die and have enough ether, you can pay to respawn and you will retain every unlocked weapon, power and permanent improvement. If you die and cannot pay, its Game Over.
Avoid dying.

Enemies

Similar to weapons, every tier will bring 3 new, more dangerous enemies.

Story

The ERE (Ethereal Research Enterprise) is an organization focused on the extraction, research and refining of ether, a blue substance that was found all around Saturn when the first human explorations arrived. After extensive research, this new liquid was successfully refined and used as energy for all purposes. Due to its impressive properties, it has been used to power space stations, facilities, robots and all sorts of things, as well as food and advanced medical treatment. All of this process was done by a space exploration company with backing from many governments, known as the ERE. The expansion this company saw and the priviliged position it had made it the sole exporter of ether along the solar system, bringing trillions of revenue and thousands of workers to colonize and exploit all the ether they could find. You joined as a young field engineer and had been assigned to Titan a while ago, until something happened. As you awake confused and lost, you will face death every corner until you make it out alive... or not.
