AETHERFALL
Browser-based turn-based RPG with canvas-rendered JRPG battle spectacle
Visit aetherfall-ten.vercel.app ↗What is AETHERFALL?
AETHERFALL is a browser-native turn-based RPG that recreates the visual style of late-90s pre-rendered JRPG battles. The game features painted parallax backdrops, low-poly character models with modern lighting, an ATB command interface, spiral battle transitions, limit break sequences, and a full summon system—all rendered procedurally to canvas with an original synthesised score.
Players control a three-character party through Reactor Seven, restoring members at the Aether Font and battling the SENTINEL MK-VII guarding the core. The maker reports building this prototype with Claude Opus 5 in approximately 20 minutes with minimal instructions.
