Septerra Core: Legacy of the Creator is a computer role-playing game] (CRPG) developed by Valkyrie Studios and published by Monolith Productions.
Gameplay
Edit
The game takes an unusual approach at the genre, by using elements most commonly associated with console video games. Battles in Septerra Core implement a variant of real-time action, with the only substantial difference being that the strength of the character's attacks are defined by how long the player allows the time gauge of said character to be charged.
Other notable features include fully recorded dialogue, CGI cutscenes and a flexible magic system based on cards similar to those of Tarot. Professional voice actors supplied the voices for the main characters while Valkyrie employees and friends voiced the minor characters.
Setting
Edit
In the center of Septerra lies the Core, a giant Bio-computer. Seven continents, each with its own unique geography, population and cultures, turn around the core on different levels.
Etymology
Edit
The title "Septerra" is from the Latin "sept", seven, and "terra", earth.
