Alter Age heading to Nintendo Switch
There’s yet another RPG coming from Kemco, and the publisher has now announced Alter Age. Fans can expect it to release on March 7, 2025.
Alter Age was made by Exe Create. A key mechanic of the game – which also ties into the title – is switching between grownup and preteen forms during battle.
Learn more about it in the following overview:
Arga, a young man whose father is said to be the strongest in the world. Hating his father for neglecting his family, Arga has been training daily to prove himself superior. During this process, he awakened the class Soul Alter, a unique skill that changes the forms of himself and his companions between grownups and preteens. Sometimes a youth, sometimes a boy, he faces great trials with his companions.
Explore a vast field dotted with puzzle dungeons and detour dungeons. Collect ingredients while walking around to cook meals, take on special quests limited to the preteen form, and fully enjoy every corner of the world of Alter Age.
Characters – Ages & Personalities Change
- Arga: Protagonist – As a grownup, he is a passionate but contrary man who cannot be honest. On the other hand, he becomes a genuine and cute boy when in a preteen form.
- Lillieka: Flame Reaper- Despite her childish appearance, she has undergone four reincarnations, and is a cheeky, foul-mouthed girl with rich life experiences. While constantly mocking Arga, she transforms into a gentle and elegant beauty when she becomes a grownup through Alter.
- Elsie: Water Mage – A shy and reserved girl lacking self-confidence. When she transforms into a grownup through Alter, she becomes active and bold, a stark contrast to her preteen form.
Battle System – Pixel Art Command Battles
During battles, altering between grownup and preteen forms is crucial! Grownup Form: Can unleash powerful skills but consumes a lot of resources. Preteen Form: Excellent at support and resource-efficient. The battle array also changes with the Alter, so timing the changes is vital! Utilize a wide range of elements, including equipment and passive skills, to strategically navigate battles.
