About This Game

5th ERA is a techno-fantasy pixel-art JRPG that throws you into the heart of Helgon, a sprawling space metropolis built on a comet. In this high-tech future, balance has been shattered: from mysterious white portals emerge the Brightlings, lethal entities ready to annihilate everything in their path.
Are you prepared to uncover the truth hidden at the core of Helgon? Assemble your team, the truth about the origin of these attacks awaits you.

The main story will keep you busy for around 35 hours, with the potential to exceed 50 hours if you tackle all optional content and side quests.

Dive into a high-stakes narrative of adventure, mysteries and political intrigue, unfolding across 10 Chapters filled with unexpected twists. Follow the lives and fates of 9 protagonists united in their search for the truth behind the Bightlings.

Face your enemies through a turn-based combat system that’s easy to learn but rich in tactical depth.

Classes & Customization: Choose between 2 unique Classes for each playable character. Experiment with party roles and build the team composition that best fits your playstyle.

Upgrade and customize your equipment by unlocking new Weapon Configurations and equipping Drives, technological implants that enhance character stats or provide passive bonuses. Create your own synergies and combos to gain the upper hand in battle.

Explore Helgon at 4 different times of day (morning, afternoon, evening, and night). The dynamic cycle affects events, NPC encounters, and enemies, offering a more relaxed experience during the day and darker challenges after sundown.
