Description
Tri-Ace and Sega RPG with dynamic steampunk-inspired combat in a post-apocalyptic world. Published by Sega, released in Europe in April 2010. Fast real-time combat with three-character acrobatics, semi-open steampunk world, emotional narrative, deep weapon customization, and atmospheric soundtrack. Western variant of End of Eternity.
Released in the shadow of Final Fantasy XIII, this tri-Ace RPG offers one of the most original combat systems in the genre: a choreographed ballet of acrobatics and gunfire of bewildering depth. Its steep learning curve put many off. But its steampunk world and its exhilarating mechanics make it a treasure for patient strategists.
Is Resonance of Fate still worth playing in 2026?
End of Eternity, better known in the West as Resonance of Fate, is an atypical JRPG from tri-Ace whose combat system has no equivalent. Built on mastery of firearms, acrobatic leaps and two-stage damage, it demands real learning before rewarding the player with an exhilarating, choreographed virtuosity. Its vertical steampunk world and its trio of characters, more intimate than the genre's usual frescoes, charm through their singularity. The entry curve is steep. But for anyone who loves to stray off the beaten path, this brilliant JRPG remains a gem to discover.
