Developer: SHIFT UP
Release date: 11/06/2025
Store: Steam, Epic Games Store
Genre: Action

The future of humanity is balanced on the edge of a blade. Ravaged by strange, powerful creatures, Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of the decimated human race has fled to a Colony in outer space. After travelling from the Colony, EVE arrives on the desolate remains of our planet with a clear-cut mission: to save humankind by reclaiming Earth from the Naytiba – the malevolent force that has devastated it. But as EVE tackles the Naytiba one-by-one, piecing together the mysteries of the past in the ruins of human civilization, she realizes that her mission is far from straightforward. In fact, almost nothing is as it seems…

Engage in blisteringly fast combat as you slash a path through the remnants of Earth. Unleash graceful yet brutal attacking combos, unlock new moves and weapon upgrades, and face epic boss encounters that will challenge both brain and brawn in equal measure.

Become immersed in a highly detailed post-apocalyptic world that blends beauty and horror to spectacular effect!

Unravel a gripping human fate story, with mature themes, a thought-provoking narrative and emotionally-charged revelations from beginning to end.

I did a quick and dirty OT by copy pasting stuff from the Steam page. So we have a place to discuss the game and PC performance.

 

[Kotaro]

I hope people post mods screenshots here for research purposes

 

[HRK69]

Next week baby!

 

[RagnarokIV]

BEST GAME EVER I LOVE YOU EVE FOREVER

 

[Hashassin]

My lahmacun is ready. But my wallet not yet..

 

[ssringo]

Thanks for the OT! Was my GotY last year. Been aching to replay the game with each update/DLC but held off for the PC release.

 

[Kazdane]

I haven't played much yet (made it past the first boss) but performance and image quality is great (everything maxed) and the game feels super responsive. Parrying is so damn satisfying and the story intrigues me. Looking forward to playing it through the weekend

 

[violence]

The demo runs great on pc. I don't plan on restarting my playthrough though. I'm almost done on PS5. By the time I want to do a second play through there should be some mods out.

 

[Duchess]

Resetera are having an absolute meltdown over this game's success on PC.

Very strange place, that. Very odd people, who really need to get a reality check.

 

[TintoConCasera]

How long is the game if you try to do everything? I'm considering picking it up for the weekend.

 

[Revolutionary]

A lot of these mods seem to have issues with neck seams.

But it's day 1 and I'll take what I can get.

Not to defend them, but are they? I've seen two threads on there where most of the users are actually celebrating it's successs.

Which thread specifically? Just looked at the OT they have over there and it's very positive from what I've seen.

21-22 hrs for just story. Couldn't remember how long it took for me personally but this will help: https://howlongtobeat.com/game/97758

 

[ClosBSAS]

Lol icon era going crazy seeing 177 ccu on steam...good shit

Sounds perfect, I'm not in the mood for a very long game.

Just boughted, will be jumping in today or tomorrow.

 

[forsakkenSoul]

It was released a year later and at full price. If it had been released with a discount, it would have had a much higher peak of players.

Is/was this free on PS+?

Nope

 

[Hideous Snake]

Thanks for the OT! I'm about to begin the journey!

Hyped as fuck

 

[Hideous Snake]

Enemies hit hard but I have no issue with it. Still need to learn their attack pattern

GAME IS CLEAAAAN

 

[Gonzito]

Man, people are fucked up lmao

If someone is not sold yet because "its'a dress up game".
It is not.
It's a legit game that was advertised without any indication of costumes to come.
Watch these 2 trailers to see what they were aiming for and they 100000% delivered. AND THEN THE COSTUMES were revealed to be a thing like 1 month before ps5 release !!!!!!!!!!!!! and I was already hyped without this info!

I also recommend playing with Korean VO
the trailer that started the hype for me


especially this 2nd trailer. it is incredible

 

[elbourreau]

It is not.

Era said it's for gooners. Who is lying?

 

[Shadowstar39]

Still waiting on a price drop on psn. I loved the demo but unless its something I am a huge fan of like Silent hill, Kingdom Come or Baldurs Gate, I am not buying.
For $50 I would of bought on day 1. For $60 it would of been a toss up, but more likely.

There is also the fact that my wife may be asking questions why i am dressing a hot chick half naked. (maybe i should get on pc, lol)


I'll get the game eventually, but my backlog is huge, I can be smart and wait. Sony has been very horrible with pricing this gen. God of war was half off 1 year past launch and then $19.99. They won't lower below 39.99 after 5 years for some games. It's ridiculous (and that's a temp sale price not a price drop, looking at you Ragnarök).

Game seems to be doing great for them at this price point.

I wonder if they realise people like them are actually the reason Trump is president now.

I may have misunderstood the whole "gooners" thing? Is that an insult? Is it calling people who play the game pervs..?

The thread itself has now been locked:

[TintoConCasera]

What's up with that Hints option in the gameplay menu, does the game have puzzles?

Also, how's the japanese VA? I've never watched anything in korean and was thinking about playing this in japanese. Even if I barely understand a thing at least it'll sound more familiar.

 

[mèx]

I'm playing it on my secondary PC (4070 Ti / 1080p / DLAA) and it runs at 200-300 FPS maxed out with frame gen on. Pretty good performance overall. The game is not a looker, it has good character models but the environments feel basic (on a technical level).

The gamepad controls are fully customizable.

It looks like an extremely solid port overall.

Also, how's the japanese VA? I've never watched anything in korean and was thinking about playing this in japanese. Even if I barely understand a thing at least it'll sound more familiar.

I tried English and I didn't like it, the delivery feels really flat in general. I tried Korean and I can't get a feel for it, most likely because I'm not used to it, I never played or watched anything in Korean. So I went with Japanese and it feels fine for now. I might try to go back to Korean since it should be the intended experience.

 

[SpearHea.:D]

 

[TintoConCasera]

Eve is cute. But Tachy is cuter.

By the way, just enabled the autoloot options in the menu. Don't know why it isn't the default.

 

[.Xeno]

Being waiting for PC version will jump in once I finish FANTASIAN Neo Dimension.
Looking forward to trying many mods.

 

[Mithos]

Indeed.

Also..

Motion Blur            0
Camera Shake           0
Film Grain             OFF
Chromatic Aberration   OFF

Who even though its a fucking dress up game?

Good stuff. Its still not great cause you can still miss the loot if you're not on it

Wish it was just magnetic. Get over here kinda shit

 

[TintoConCasera]

Game sure gives a lot of Nier: Automata vibes.

Oh and that pose to go down a ladder... Damn!

 

[Mithos]

Who even though its a fucking dress up game?

Well it did have about "80" outfits before the Nier Automata DLC (4 outfits), Nikke DLC (5 outfits) and the new update today (25 new outfits there)
Bringing the total outfits to get 114.. And I don't think it'll stop anytime soon. Oh forgot Tachyon DLC (1 outfit) -> 115 total outfits...

 

[Garibaldi]

Downloaded a few outfit mods....some (like this) are sexy but hideously overdone haha

Good god are they mad? Still, if people watch gameplay trailers they'll surely see it isn't.

That's just the weebs of Korea taking advantage of the hottie they made. Proud of them

 

[Filben]

Yeah, exactly. Some people's obsession with resetera isn't healthy. You have like two or three bad comments and it's "ResetEra!!!", ignoring that like 80% if not more are just chatting about the game they're really playing and enjoying.

Good god. That place really gathered the most cringe insufferable people eh?

 

[TintoConCasera]

Weird thing, the game updated it's SDK that it uses to connect to PSN and instead of deleting the old one, it just sent it to the recycle bin. Never saw a game do anything like that lol.

 

[Fess]

This is so soo good. And I haven't even started with mods yet. Sooo good!

 

[The Fartist]

Isnt the game on UE? Gonna be hard to do something crazy.... Like morphs edit etc.

God Dammit!! How did I not see this?!

 

[Revolutionary]

PSA: since this is a Unreal Engine game, UEVR (Nightly build) works with little issue, but you might have to turn down some settings (depending on your rig).

But yeah, seeing Eve in VR...
