Relayer – Trailer
Overview
A next-generation mecha-themed strategic role-playing game set in a sci-fi alternate reality in which Starchildren, humans who have been granted special abilities, face an extraterrestrial threat. The battle system focuses on combat robot types and jobs, which represent the unique characteristics of a unit, and aggro, a stat that displays how easily they are targeted by enemies. Relayer also offers exciting special attacks like Backstab, a pincer move, and Big Bang, an attack with a large area of effect. About 100 unique cinematics are played during the battles, and the level maps are all illustrated in high quality 3D.
The story takes place on Earth in the year 2051, in a future where humanity’s expansion into space is in full swing. Earth is in the midst of an invasion by mysterious extraterrestrial beings called Relayers. Humans with special abilities called Starchildren have also appeared, along with the legacy of an ancient alien civilization that is said to have died out centuries ago. Players will be called upon to control a squadron of Stellar Gear, humanoid weapons developed from the technology of that extinct civilization, and Asterism, a ship capable of interstellar travel, to defend Earth from alien invaders.
