MV - Mana Engine (Demo Available)

Classic ATB (Active Time Battle) turn-based combat with three different timing modes.
Wait - Battlers wait until turn completion
Semi Wait - Battlers wait while selecting an action on turn
Active - Battlers do NOT wait

Combat takes place dynamically on the map. Where enemy positioning matters.

Perform combo skills with two or more allies to unleash even more damage. The higher the friendship between two party members, the higher the damage dealt.

Friendship system - Strengthen the bond of your party to activate new skills and make others more powerful.

Maps - beautiful parallax maps with lighting. Option to turn off lights and use overlay instead.

Four difficulties to account for different playstyles.
Whimpy - ATB MODE: WAIT (ATB pauses on player turn), can flee from combat.
Easy - ATB MODE: WAIT. (ATB pauses on player turn)
Normal - ATB MODE: SEMI-WAIT (ATB pauses on player selection)
Hard - ATB MODE: ACTIVE (NO ATB pause)

Skill Tree - Choose what skills you and your allies learn. Skill points are distributed on level up and through completing certain tasks and quests.

Exploration - Explore the world to find potion and cooking ingredients, hidden places, fishing locations, ores and materials for crafting weapons and armor, stat scrolls that permanently increase STATS, towns, dungeons, and more.

Potion Brewing - Find recipes, gather ingredients, and brew potions that can heal and revive your party turning the tide of battle.

Weapon and Armor Crafting - Weapons and Armor too expensive? Craft your own weapons and armor from resources gathered from the environment and defeating enemies.

Cooking - Cooking food not only gives you a full recovery but also certain buffs that can give your allies an edge in combat. Careful though, some of the same ingredients also get used for brewing potions.

Fishing - Take a break from thwarting the empire and relax by fishing. Fishing locations are hidden across the game world.

Mini_Games - Try your luck at two different card mini-games that can reward you with money or items.

Guy (Name Changeable) is a mute orphan who always longed of traveling the world and leading a life in service to others. After turning 20, he is forced to leave the orphanage and wants to join the Colonial Guard to protect his community. His plans are altered after meeting Luma and Nael during a festival in his hometown.

Luma is a 19 year old junior priestess of the Aurora Ascendancy, an ancient religion whose goals are to maintain balance and peace in the world, and preserve the knowledge of the Arcani. Since birth she has demonstrated an uncanny affinity for magic and healing. She has trained both her body and mind diligently to become more attuned with the natural flow of mana in the world. Due to a negative stigma about magic users, Luma has kept her abilities a secret and she feels guilt for not using her powers to help others to her fullest extent.

Nael is a 23 year old initiate to the Aurora Ascendancy. She joined the Ascendancy only a year ago but has quickly worked her way up through extreme discipline and her strong physical prowess. Little is known about her life before joining and she has refused several times to open up about it. Nael and Luma quickly hit it off when Nael joined the Ascendancy and have become good friends in the year they have spent together.

Brand is 22 year old who was raised in the same orphanage as Guy and left 2 years before Guy came of age. He was six years old when he lost both of his wealthy merchant parents to fighting against Hegelia's expansion into Greystone. He remembers all to well his previous life of luxury and has a chip on his shoulder about his situation in life. He steals indiscriminately and has a sour stand-offish disposition. While he and Guy were in the orphanage they were inseparable and considered themselves brothers. Brand always looked out for the mute Guy, and wouldn't let others belittle or make fun of him.

Mana Engine takes place in the fictional world of Gaiaterra during an industrial revolution. Even though magic users are nearly nonexistent after humans revolted against the magic wielding proto-humans known as the Arcani, Mana machines and technology have changed the world for the better. Airships and mana powered steam trains have revolutionized travel and energy weapons have changed the face of warfare. While the rest of the world is struggling to adapt to these new technologies and ways of life, the Hegelian Empire is at the fore front of Mana technology after they discovered the mysterious Mana Engine buried in the earth and are leaps and bounds ahead of other nations in technological power. Believing themselves superior through their use of this new technology, Hegelia has committed to expanding its empire to the entire globe in the pretense of "better living for all".
