About
If fate was already written, would you still fight to change it? Full Circle is a JRPG inspired by the classics of the original PlayStation era, set in a world where humanity fled to the skies in an attempt to outrun their destiny.
Explore a World Reclaimed by nature
Beneath a city in the sky, on a surface overrun by mutated beasts, young heroes are raised with a single purpose: brave the wilds and keep humanity’s last refuge alive. But when a mission beyond the walls reveals survivors, rival cities, and secrets no one prepared them for, everything they believed begins to unravel.
Full Circle is a story-driven JRPG inspired by the classics of the original PlayStation era. Combining strategic turn-based combat and real-time precision mechanics, it is set in a post-apocalyptic world of floating cities, ancient ruins, and civilizations divided by sky and earth.
Unlock Powerful Chain Attacks
During combat, both clever strategy and quick reflexes are rewarded. Chain your party’s actions with precision-timed inputs to keep the pressure on and deny enemies a chance to react. Each character has unique abilities, from deploying turrets and hacking machines to taming beasts and controlling your environments. Experiment with action orders to unlock powerful combos, and swap between active and reserve party members to adapt on the fly.
