Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky

A side-scrolling RPG developed by Tri-Ace that is a spiritual successor to the Valkyrie Profile series, sharing a lot of the same creative staff and gameplay.

Overview

Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky is a side-scrolling RPG developed by tri-Ace Inc. for the PlayStation 4 and Vita. Was produced by Spike Chunsoft as a low-budget cross-platform PS Vita/PS4 game.

The game proposes mechanics similar to the cult-classic (from the same developer) Valyrie Profile: Lenneth. Replaces the classic rpg mechanics (Town+Field+Dungeon) with a dungeon-crawler focus.

The battle-system is similar to Valkyrie Profile titles, something slower and more turn-based.

In that hostile environment they must choose between opposing alien deities and find the path that allows them to return home and resume their lives.
