Get ready for the adventure of your life in the highly-anticipated Sky Fortress: Odyssey, the fantasy steampunk RPG. That wait is about to come to an end, as pre-registration is now available on Android.
Sky Fortress: Odyssey arrives courtesy of the renowned Chinese gaming powerhouse, Blancozone Network. For those unaware, this studio is known for its spellbinding fantasy RPGs, including Duoluo Dalu 3D: Soul Master Showdown.
In this epic tale, you assume the role of the intrepid young adventurer, Ethan. He embarks on an exciting quest to discover the fabled Sky City in the breathtaking world of Setsemir.
The story revolves around a gigantic golden compass, which, previously, guided adventurers towards epic quests. However, the compass has just failed, and it’s up to you to figure out why.
Apparently, the story features over a million words, which should put pressure on the likes of Baldur’s Gate 3.
Sky Fortress: Odyssey is perhaps most notable for its parkour system. Using this, you can get around the world a lot faster and in style, exploring areas of the various maps that you could only dream of in similar games.
Aside from this, it’s a typical gacha as you know and love it. You recruit heroes by drawing for them, then battle with them to level up, equip powerful gear, and grow their power in a variety of ways.
The battle system is far less typical though. It features bullet hell mechanics, requiring you to put those parkour skills to the test as you avoid enemy fire and return your own. You can play alone or invite friends to join you in the Skytop Arena or multiplayer dungeons.
If you’re interested, you can pre-register for Sky Odyssey on Google Play right now.
Not only will you get a notification as soon as the game is available, but you will unlock a bunch of rewards that will help kickstart you on your adventure. This includes 100 free draws, exclusive costumes, and equipment.
You can also grab your favourite S-grade hero right at the beginning thanks to the Beginner Recruit system. This should eliminate any need to reroll, which is a very welcome feature.
