Saroasis Studios has set Fate Trigger: The Novita in a unique world of floating islands, where a spreading “Paleblight” disaster threatens the landscape.

The game offers both solo and team-based gameplay, allowing players to scavenge for weapons, craft equipment, and utilize special abilities in aerial battlefields.

The game’s Steam page describes it as a 3D anime-style, hero-based tactical shooter that promises dynamic gameplay and spectacular showdowns. Players will engage in strategic combat while navigating a world dominated by a powerful being in the sky. Moreover, with its multi-platform release and free-to-play model, Fate Trigger: The Novita aims to reach a wide audience of gamers interested in tactical shooters with an anime aesthetic.
