Pērc Empyreal Xbox Series

Empyreal is a complex, challenging, feature-rich action RPG.

In a far-flung corner of the galaxy an Expedition arrives on a hitherto unexplored planet to find a colossal Monolith built by a lost civilisation.

These are no mere ruins: the Monolith is filled with danger, and the Expedition is ill-equipped to unearth the secrets within.

All eyes turn towards an elite mercenary who may succeed where others have failed.

Venture inside the Monolith and face the automatons that yet remain, remnants of the impossibly ancient civilisation that built this unknowable structure. Survive and uncover revelations that transform our understanding of humanity itself.

Gameplay & Combat:

• Choose one of three weapon archetypes: The Glaive, The Mace & Shield or the Cannon. Each weapon has its own core move set giving each their own unique playstyle.

• Empyreal features a unique blend of RPG Systems and Skill-based Combat. Master the flow of combat with perfectly timed attacks, deflects, parries and even many Abilities that gain additional effects when perfectly timed.

Find powerful new Equipment, adjust your stats via an extensive modification system and refine your build to perfection.

Abilities System:

• Empyreal features dozens of Abilities with a huge variety of effects including dealing damage, providing defence or healing, extra movement options and other utility.

• Find new Abilities as you progress through the game, many of the most powerful are well-hidden or locked behind lengthy Quests.

Extensive character customisations.

• Experiment with a multitude of Character Creation options or choose one of the 30 presets to jump straight into the action with.

• Choose your character’s background giving you a unique backstory and starting set of equipment. You will also occasionally have the chance to respond with special dialogue options which are specific to your background.

NPC Character Questlines:

•  Each member of the expedition has their own personal questline. All of these questlines have multiple endings depending on your choices. It is even possible to fail them entirely…

• Paying close attention to your fellow expedition members will eventually grant powerful rewards but only if you stay the course.

Cartograms:

• One of the most important and unique features in the game. These ancient artifacts are blueprints for aspects you encounter in each level inside the Monolith.

• What enemies you face, what loot you find, how many lives you get, what elements you need a matching resistance to (and more) are all randomly generated. There are many ways each level is different depending on the attributes of the cartogram you use to access it.

• The levels themselves are all designed by hand, and you are rewarded for exploring; so find hidden details, shortcuts and seek out the secrets within. 

Boss Battles:

• Each Cartogram contains an end boss. The selected Cartogram defines the loot table of the boss, and the chance of a drop. Epic boss battles enable you to target items you may need for future cartograms. 

Sharing & Trading:

• Items including Cartograms can be shared with other players via a Mail system and a Trading Post.

Asynchronous Features:

• Although a single player game, Empyreal has a number of asynchronous features allowing you to feel the presence of other players inside the Monolith. One of these features is ‘Into the Aether’ allowing you to gift an item through a tear in the aether to another player, where it becomes “Aether Touched” and gains a significant stat boost.
