KINSHFT is a sci-fantasy adventure where you play as three members of the same family, each with their own unique abilities and play styles. Spread in three wildly different eras of a future Earth, they are still connected by a mysterious force that allows them to work as a team across a vast span of time.
FEATURES:
You will encounter many mysteries across time that cannot be solved with a single character's abilities. Shift between characters and their eras and use each one's unique skills to work together to find a solution. As you journey deeper into these worlds and solve even greater mysteries you will unlock new abilities for each character.
The decisions you make as a player can have an affect on other eras in time. Some are like a ripple, destroying a bridge in one era that cuts off enemy access to an area in another. Others are like a wave, changing how a faction that once considered you an enemy now sees you as a friend.
In your travels you will encounter many new species and cultures, those that have evolved over the decades and centuries altered by the Eros impact, and those that have reached Earth from distant galaxies searching for what the asteroid may have left behind. Befriend and help the locals, meet and influence the different factions and come face to face with tremendous bosses. How those encounters end is up to you!
EXPLORE AND COLLECT - Delve into the hidden depths and dark corners of the world to collect valuable relics of the past.
CRAFT AND TRADE - Craft and trade for new and powerful items to gain new abilities allowing you to explore deeper into each new world.
BUILD AND GROW - Trade resources and aid the inhabitants of Bastion City to help it rebuild and grow, gaining you access to new locations, shops, adventures and mysteries.
CHARACTERS:
Each character has unique abilities that fit their individual play styles, some available from the start, others that need to be discovered, researched or unlocked. Each ability is designed to be used both in exploration and in combat, allowing players to decide how and when to use each one.
NILES - With a newfound ability to control the very forces of the universe, Niles uses fringe science to manipulate the world around him as if by magic. Waving his staff he can capture and control particles to create fantastic "Science Spells"
NOVA - Using stealth to infiltrate, she is a master of getting into places others cannot, earning her the nickname "Silent Justice". When her acrobatic skills aren't enough, she strikes hard and fast from the shadows, eliminating her enemies with deadly efficiency.
NAOMI - In a time of machines whose purposes have been lost to the past, Naomi excels at fixing robots to work for her. She can strip their parts and build her own creations, fighting with them while wielding her mighty wrench.
The main characters in KINSHFT progress through a unique skill tree called The Family Tree, which contains not only individual branches representing each character’s personal skill, but also unique traits that are linked to other members of the family, and can only be unlocked by evolving two or more characters in unison.
THE WORLD:
Explore an interconnected world that spans three different eras. As each character explores their world from one area to the next, they will encounter areas that cannot be crossed and gates that cannot be opened in their time, but are accessible in others.
Shift between characters and explore three eras together, using each character's unique abilities and items to unlock their deepest secrets.
KINSHFT is a game that blends fast paced action adventure with time-shifting problem solving in a rich narrative world!
