According to an ancient prophecy, Septerra's continents will one day converge and join in orbit together on one level - this is the Legacy of Marduk, the Creator's son. The Chosen, fanatical believers in the supremacy of their own wisdom and technology, impatiently try to force the issue - causing a global catastrophe which threatens the lives of all Septerreans.
Meanwhile, amongst the Junkers, a young woman named Maya gets caught up in the developing maelstrom and soon finds herself confronted by seemingly insurmountable problems. Without help she stands no chance of fulfilling the Prophesy before Septerra perishes. But whom can she trust in a world torn by war and treacherous intrigue - a world on the edge of the abyss?

Broken movies. Seriosly? I have to fiddle with QuickTime and stuff in a rerelease of an ancient game? Beyond lazy.
While the game itself was and is still fun, I regret giving money to the hacks that made the steam release.
A classic, it may be slow,
you may need to make a couple jump in logic to hit the next story point
But a classic, the world, the design, the character the story and it music all hit home for me.
Septerra Core is so nostalgic. If you can handle how slow some battles can be (mostly due to the animations), it is a good bang for your buck.
We're making it back to last millennium with this one
Genuinelly, some of the greatest voice acting from the nineties. i have no idea how this hasent blown tf up.... the world is so original, as are the characters and plot....could you imagine an open world game with the graphics/tech we have now in 2024?..... theres literally no game like it. the lore, the creatures and enemies. the extremelly underrated voice actors. not to mention some pretty badass cutscenes for 99' .... buy the game. 11/10.
I wish they made more games like this. Wheres the sequel. The story is peak. The art is peak. The art is peak. love it.
Septerra core is an immersive game where the player is expected to waste time in figuring out where to go by talking to people, exploring the game by clicking on things or doing anything to see if it works. That style of gameplay has fallen out of favor for a very good reason. It disrespects everyone’s time and just frustrates them into playing something else instead.
Some people insist that the game is a forgotten gem. So I’m going to assume that they’re wearing emerald glasses which were gifted by the grand wizard of OZ personally when they bought the game. As for me, I don’t enjoy sluggish combat while trudging through another unavoidable fight again and again. You have no way of speeding it up or skipping the battle animations unlike other rpgs released before it managed to do. What's even more baffling is that the game manages to make what was already terrible into something even worse with the zombie enemy. Zombies are very slow and have to walk towards you to attack, which means that everything stops to display their walking animation every single time. I believe it was done so that the player had to admire the cool graphics and the hard work of the dev team. All I’m admiring is the fact that no one thought to cut this and that’s what I’ve been doing since I started playing the game.
Playing through the game reveals so many flaws that I wonder how none of this was caught during playtesting. Can’t bank charges for skills which means that you should just use high level skills, no equipable core regeneration items, no permanent run option, dungeons are too large, lots of loading screens, heavy usage of backtracking instead of using a cutscene to transition the player to the next objective, and doesn’t guide the player to next objective. Instead the game insists that the player talks to everyone to guide them to the next objective, which is par for the course of RPGs of that time period but is now considered a flaw by today’s standards. And when that doesn’t work then it’s the time to solve the bizarre puzzles that the developing team designed. Apparently, the player is supposed to realize that they need to fill a vial with acid from a puddle in the graveyard’s grounds to cut off the head of a statue in Wind City. After that the player needs to put that head on a different statue in the graveyard to unlock a boss fight which opens up the catacombs that you need to go through to get to the Holy guard.But to get the vial in the first place is to buy one from a shop in South farms. The only reason that I knew how to do this was because I used a guide out of frustration at the lack of no progress.
The magic system doesn’t allow the player to experiment or use it regularly during fights due to the high cost of all spells. And skills rely on it, which is bullshit. Punishing the player for trying to experiment to make the game fun is just bad design. Also, it doesn’t help that the game never bothers to teach the player how to use the cards. I got it by clicking on a card three times and calling it good.
Bragging about your voice cast might have been ground breaking in 1999 when voice acting was in its infancy. But now, it just makes the developer look like a tryhard braggart. Most of the acting ranges from so-so to f listers. There are some standouts in the cast like Maya and Grubb but even they’re not great by modern standards. You can turn off the voices if you’re not a fan of them.
Septerra core is a game that should be forgotten and. The only reason that one would seek it out is to read the developer’s blog about its creation. It’s a very interesting read if you’re an enthusiast of video game development history like myself. The website is called https://twilighttangents.com. Anyways, there are better classic rpgs out there that respect your time and are exciting to play through even with dated mechanics.
Long but well thought out game! Fun to play and way ahead of its time.
I absolutely love this game <3 I grew up playing Septerra Core and it helped me a lot with learning proper English pronunciation thanks to the voice acting. The game itself may have not aged well when it comes to its graphics or sometimes clunky / overdrawn gameplay, but the world building, charming characters and overall unique ideas make it worth awhile. If you're a sucker for old games and have some free time on your hands, I recommend trying out Septerra Core.

This game is a favorite of mine for nostalgic purposes: I first bought this game (bundled with "Shogo: Mobile Armor Division") in mid-November of 1999 from a local Media Play store. It's definitely not the best game I've ever played...but the story and the characters have stuck with me for literally 25 years, come November.
Note: This was the ONLY game released by Valkyrie Studios, but don't let that make you believe it's a BAD game...it's just EXTREMELY dated now, and has been rough-around-the-edges since '99.
