Immortality is for sale, but you're dying.

Aethercore is an Action RPG set in a world where souls are bound to machines and immortality is for sale. Slash, dodge, parry, and use spells as you fight robots, ninjas, and the undead. Explore a sprawling city, take down an evil corporation, and retrieve your stolen soul.

Real-Time Action Combat

Slash to fuel your Aethermagic, then unleash it to exploit enemy weaknesses. Parry, dodge, or jump over attacks from enemies and tough bosses.

Build Your Playstyle

Customize your build and equip up to four Aethermagic spells and one Blade Art ability. Play aggressive with offensive magic, control the fight with support spells, or summon minions to fight alongside you.

Explore an Interconnected City

Travel through the forgotten underground labyrinths and push through corporate territory. Uncover the city's secrets and find hidden treasures.

Side Quests and Bounties

The city is full of people who need your help. Take their odd jobs, earn credits, and spend them on upgrades.

Premise

Aether Corp (AECO) rose to power by selling immortality. They developed the technology that transfers a human soul and binds it to a machine. High-end robotic models go to the elites. Everyone else signs up for the basic model, often getting trapped in debt doing the company's bidding.

To enforce their rule, AECO's executives employ ninjas to silence dissent and eliminate threats. Meanwhile, the corporation's science division conducts horrific experiments in secret.

You wake up with a fragmented memory in an underground facility. AECO has stolen your soul and now you are dying. You need to take it back.

Development

Aethercore is a solo-developed game. It's still in active development, so features and system requirements may change before launch.
