Alterium Shift

Alterium Shift is a retro-inspired JRPG set in the magical land of Alteria, with 2.5D graphics and pixel art. You explore the world, take on quests, fish, and uncover its secrets. Your choices shape the story, which has branching paths and dynamic quests that offer a different experience with each playthrough.

Characters and abilities

You can choose from three characters, each with their own skills and elemental powers. The game also describes Pyra, Atlas, Sage, Dolion and the Hermit among its characters. Each character has an ability for exploring areas the others cannot: Pyra can slice through rocks, while Atlas can shoot distant targets. These abilities can reveal hidden treasure and story elements.

Pyra is a strict, loyal leader who wields a spear. Atlas is a shy, nimble archer known for his accuracy, while Sage is a skilled weaver of Alterium Essence with an equally strong ego. Dolion is a war general turned teacher for heroes in training, and the free-spirited Hermit becomes an unexpected ally on your journeys across Alteria.

Turn-based combat

Combat uses a turn-order display to support decision-making. You exploit enemy weaknesses, gain experience to strengthen your party, and charge the Burst Bar to use powerful burst abilities. Loot you earn also helps you on your journey.
