The ELS Battle Demo is Live!

At long last, the demo for Eden's Last Sunrise is now available for download! This is a small sample of the game unconnected from the main story that shows some of the main cast, several playable classes, and a chance to try out the custom character creator.

Thank you for following my li'l project, and I hope you have fun. Feel free to post questions, bugs, or show off your custom characters. I'd love to see them!

Some tips to get you started:

• You can click on a unit's portrait (either yourself or the current target) to get a breakdown on all their stats.

• Similarly, on the full stats screen, you can click on the [?] next to abilities and effects to get a list on what they all do.

• Unique skills use Tension, which is the glowing green bar with the % marker. Units gain Tension for doing things in battle, for taking damage, and for dodging attacks.

• The little shield icons designate cover in that direction. Being in cover grants protection from many attacks, particularly ranged ones.

• If you don't use all your AP in a turn, the leftover AP makes that unit's next turn come up sooner.

• Tile effects like Miasma and Havoc will deal damage and a status effect to a unit who ends their turn on top of them.

• Use Lure skills (basically taunts; skills with pink names) to draw enemy attention! However, the effectiveness of the taunt diminishes every time the taunting unit is attacked, so refresh it as needed.

• I'm sure I'll think of some more later! But, feel free to experiment.
