Gameplay
Gameplay
Players control Daryon, a young soldier whose world has been invaded by a technologically advanced race. When Daryon learns that his mother has been infected with an alien biological agent, he deserts his post to help his sister find a cure. Gameplay is influenced by JRPGs and includes elements of tactical role-playing games. It features hex grids and Active Time Battle, a form of turn-based combat used in the Final Fantasy series. The open world setting includes both science fiction and fantasy tropes, mixing together robots and magic. Free updates have added a dungeon with 50 procedurally generated levels, a New Game Plus mode, and other features.

Reception
The game received "mixed or average reviews" according to Metacritic. RPGamer said the game "comes from a place of love", but Midgar Studio was too ambitious, resulting in many features that do not live up their initial promise. Although they praised the game's "stunning backdrops", they said there is little to do in the areas, and they found the combat to be repetitive and sometimes unbalanced. The story also showed promise to them, but they found the siblings unlikable and their quest to be "an uninspired journey". Describing it as "a love letter to classic Final Fantasy and Xenoblade games", Hardcore Gamer said that is a "a good but not great JRPG" that "comes close to reaching its ambitious goals". Push Square said the game has interesting characters, beautiful art, and fun tactical battles, but game is too large and ambitious to fulfill the promise of these elements. The reviewer felt that this leaves the world feeling empty and that the battles can seem repetitive. RPGFan praised the game's "wonderfully clever and tactically-minded" combat, which the reviewer found to be the game's highlight. Finding the story to be poorly paced, the reviewer concluded, "Edge of Eternity is a decent yet rough-around-the-edges JRPG-styled game that hints at potential greatness in its later stages."
