Aether & Iron

Team and character development

At the same time, the game does not force us to act alone. During the adventure we recruit companions who differ from each other in terms of history, characters and skills. Over time, we develop the heroine; by improving her talents, such as cunning, shrewdness and animus, we increase our chances of success in combat and dialogues. Do not forget that success here also depends on the result of dice rolls.

Fighting at the wheel

A turn-based combat system has been implemented in Aether & Iron. Clashes with enemies here take the form of chases, during which we sit behind the wheel of one of the ether-powered vehicles. The various machines have been diversified in terms of their capabilities, and among them we can find both fast "bolides" enabling us to escape, and "tanks" battering adversaries, who are fired by us from a grenade launcher.

As we progress, we unlock better and better cars, which can be upgraded and customized to individual preferences.

Storyline

Aether & Iron is set in an alternate version of the United States from the 1930s. Thanks to the mastery of antigravity aether technology, it became possible to move New York into the skies and replace classic cars with their flying counterparts. Contrary to what one might expect, this change only exacerbated social divisions. During the gameplay, we play as a smuggler named Gia, who is trying to find a place for herself in this new world.

Graphics

The graphic design of Aether & Iron is maintained in a cartoonish style. The source of inspiration for the creators was the art d?co style and Detective Comics comic books released in the 1930s.
