About Ephemera

Story

Of the five races of mortals, the Ephemera were the most beloved, and the shortest-lived. Their civilization is long gone. But on the Isle of Mai, when the traveling ayyar Ilhan has a fateful encounter with the mysterious girl named Rashel, the legacy and secrets of the Ephemera begin to resurface.

Gameplay

Take on turn-based tactical combat inspired by genre classics in a setting inspired by Mughal and Persian fantasy, and navigate massive battlefields as you fight for the fate of the Mai Kingdom. Control dozens of units from over 20 classes, manage your armies and resources, and plan for the long-term as you encounter multi-objective battles against overwhelming enemy numbers. Choose when to use special abilities wisely to maximize a unit's actions per turn. Explore your base between skirmishes and strengthen the relationships between your party members, whether their bond is platonic or romantic. Use your powers to rewind time and keep your soldiers alive, but remember: sometimes, there is no victory possible without sacrifice.
