Hey G-LYFE Nation, get ready to flex those language skills while casting spells. Terra Alia: The Language Discovery RPG has officially dropped on the Nintendo Switch. The game comes from the developers at 30 Parallel and publisher Boombox Games.
Sorcery Meets Technology in Terra Alia
Step into the mystical world of Terra Alia, where magic and tech coexist in harmony. Well, mostly. Professor Esperanto, your guide to mastering the arcane arts, advocates for equal access to the magical world. But she’s gone MIA. Now, it’s up to you and her robo-falcon Falco to find her.
Dive into the Quest: Decipher and Conquer
The last clue to Professor Esperanto’s whereabouts? An enchanted stone piece with an encoded message. Your mission, if you choose to accept, involves gathering the remaining five stone pieces. On your quest, expect to face a diverse rogue’s gallery—from salty students to malevolent gods and shifty robots.
Turn-Based Combat & Spellcraft
Brush up on those conjugations, gamers, because the spells you’ll cast require proficiency in different languages. The combat is turn-based, giving you time to think before you incant. Along the way, upgrade your magical arsenal and unlock fresh abilities to keep the gameplay as dynamic as your vocabulary.
Become a Polyglot Prodigy
Terra Alia isn’t just about slinging spells; it’s a full-on language course. Engage with the story in 10 different languages including American English, French, Italian, and more. Finish the tale in a single language in roughly 6-8 hours or take the multi-lingual route for 50-60 hours of gameplay.
Expanding the Lore: A New Comic on the Horizon
Keep an eye out for a 24-page comic from award-winning author Sylvain Runberg. Slated for a later release, the comic will delve deeper into the Terra Alia universe and the enigmatic Professor Esperanto.
Accessible Gaming Experience
Philippe Erwin, CEO of 30 Parallel, says the Nintendo Switch launch aims to make language learning more engaging. With a price tag of $14.99 USD, Terra Alia: The Language Discovery RPG isn’t just for the PC crowd—it’s now up for grabs on Steam and the Nintendo Switch.
So, whether you’re a language nerd or just up for a magical adventure, Terra Alia offers a unique fusion of education and entertainment. Get ready to channel your inner linguist, spellcasters.
