Eternal Return News

Hello my friends, GM Aesop here with a quick announcement for you all:

The encyclopedia has now been (mostly) completed. There you can find tons of information, like:

• Item recipes
  
• Information about EVERY item
  
• Character skills and damage
  
• Items in particular map areas
  
• Pretty pictures
  
• And much more!
  

The official Gamepedia will be constantly updated with new items and information as the game evolves.

The Gamepedia is also a community effort, so you all may help update it and make it look nice!

This can be your resource to help you prepare your strategy for the upcoming 5th Alpha.

We’ve also opened an official subreddit, which can be found here:

Join and discuss your plan for the 5th Alpha!

It's time to take a look at Hart's skills and the new weapon skill, which will be added to this 5th Alpha test.



Hart's attacks vary not only depending on her Skill Enhancements, but also depending on her Skill Evolution points, thus making strategic decisions important. You can apply a max of two Skill Evolution points per skill. Additional effects are applied to the skills depending on if the skill has been evolved.

You gain 1 Skill Evolution point the first time you craft an Uncommon, Rare, or Epic weapon, for a total of 3 points.

[h2]Passive: Feedback[/h2]


If Hart deals damage to an enemy with a normal attack, she recovers some SP.

Evolution effect: an additional sound wave is discharged with every normal attack, dealing damage. She discharges one additional sound wave per Evolution point she has.

[h2]Q: Delay[/h2]


Hart strums her guitar, charging her sound waves. When she strums the guitar again, the charged sound waves are released. She can charge for up to 4 seconds, and the sound waves stay for 4 seconds. She deals damage, the amount depending on how long she charges.

Evolution effect: Reduces the movement speed of enemies hit per number of Evolution points.

Hart is free to move around as she pleases while charging.

[h2]W: Overdrive[/h2]


Hart plays a lick on her guitar, increasing her Attack Power for 5 seconds.

Evolution effect: Reduces enemies' defense to her next sound wave per number of Evolution points (does not effect Weapon Skills).

[h2]E: Flanger[/h2]


Hart quickly dashes in the targeted direction. She can activate this skill an additional two times. She moves 2m and strums her guitar, discharging sound waves in a 4m area around her and dealing damage to enemies hit.

Evolution effect: Activating this skill grants skill damage amplification per number of Evolution points.

[h2]R: Peacemaker[/h2]


Hart puts on a show for 5 seconds, causing all her enemies in a certain range to dance. For every second of her performance, she recovers HP. Enemies attending the concert have their movement speed reduced to 2.5. Enemies are unable to use any normal attacks or skills.

Evolution effect: Reduces the SP of all dancing enemies per second. SP reduction amount increases per number of Evolution Points.

[h2]Guitar weapon skill: Love&...[/h2]


Release a sound wave in the targeted direction to draw your enemy to the music, dealing damage to the first enemy hit and making them move towards Hart.

Love&... prevents enemies from attacking or moving, allowing you a one-sided fight. It also is an efficient weapon skill to reduce distance between you and an enemy attempting to flee.

Make sure to check out Hart and all her skills by joining our 5th Alpha test, starting March 20th, at 6pm PDT. You can get a game key by coming to our Discord server (4th Alpha tester DO NOT need a key, they can update the game when the test starts).

We’re planning on an Early Access release on May 20th, 2020. That may seem like a long time to wait, but we really want to make an awesome game before we release it to everyone in the world for free!

“But wait, didn’t you say it’s starting on March 20th?”
No no! Our 5th Alpha Test will begin on March 20th. 9 days from now That’s a different thing!

Check out the 5th Alpha Test countdown
(Remember, that’s different from Early Access!)

[h2]Founder pack update[/h2]
When Early Access begins, everyone who preordered the game as a Founder will receive their 8 additional character bonus as well. Previously, the pack offered 6 characters, but we were feeling generous to everyone who has supported us through this journey so far, so we added 2 more!

(If you’re not a founder, what are you waiting for?! Check it out here: https://bs-er.nimbleneuron.rocks/)

[h2]ADD BS:ER TO YOUR WISHLIST AND FOLLOW US[/h2]
Since it is a few months away, you might want to get notified upon big changes. Be sure to Wishlist BS:ER on Steam so you are alerted the moment the game is available to play.

As always with things here at Nimble Neuron, this date is subject to change based on various production and development factors, but we’ll try our best to stick with the date.

For this 5th Alpha test, we are testing out a new feature in the game: the Store!


We'll be introducing two new currencies to the game: A-Coin, and NP.

Beginning with the 5th Alpha test, you will be able to unlock characters by buying them in the store with A-Coins.

You will then earn currency after every match, making it easy to save up and unlock your favorite character.

We will also be using a character rotation system for the 5th Alpha test. For each test weekend, 4 characters will be usable for free. The rotation will feature different characters every week to ensure you can test every character.

[h3]⚠ All purchases will be reset after the conclusion of the Alpha test. The store is opening for the sole purpose of testing.[/h3]



The new addition of the store in this 5th Alpha test is to test its functionality, rather than to officially introduce it to the game.

For this reason, Founders WILL NOT have their pre-order characters unlocked for this 5th Alpha test. We need every player to be able to test it and give us feedback.
The backer pack will be redeemed by the release on Early Access. At that time, you will receive an email with further instructions on activation.


Get your key for the 5th Alpha test on our Discord server by following the instructions on the #get-your-key channel.

Remember, if you played in the 4th Alpha, you DO NOT need a new key. You already have the game installed. However, if you want a 5th Alpha Tester role, there will be an easy way to get it. Just head over to the #get-your-tester-role channel and follow the instructions there.


Your WISHLIST is a great strength for our DEVS.
Please recommend BS: ER to your friends. We will be having more tests coming sooner than you expect.
