Reverse: 1999 (Chinese: 重返未来：1999; pinyin: Chóngfǎn Wèilái: Yījiǔjiǔjiǔ) is a turn-based tactical role-playing video game developed by Bluepoch.[1] The game has been available in Mainland China since May 31, 2023[2] and globally released on October 26, 2023.

Plot

The game begins in London, England in 1999 on New Year's Eve at 23:59. Out of the gap between the two centuries, a "Storm" poured upwards to the sky. The next second, all the parties, neon signs, and late night buses faded away. The world returned to a strange old era.

This young girl, the "Timekeeper," the only one immune to the Storm, has witnessed the beginnings and ends of countless eras. During her time travel, she makes friends with arcanists from different times and countries and then guides them to escape the "Storm."[3]

Combat

Reverse:1999 is a Turn-based RPG with combat designed around a card system. Each character has their own unique passive skills, two incantation cards, and one ultimate card. Each card ranges from one to three star-level, and players can merge cards with identical stars, advance them to a higher star level, and deal additional damage.[4]

Each character is classified in one of the six Afflatus (being: Mineral, Beast, Plant, Star, Spirit and Intelligence)[5] dealing either Reality or Mental Damage. They cyclically interact and inflict 30% more damage to enemies with weaker Afflatus.[6] Additionally, Spirit and Intelligence deals 30% more damage to each other.

There are also two sets of “Tuning Skills” which allows comprehensive strategy through Card randomization or upgrades in a timely manner without the cost of AP.[7]

In combat, there may only be 3 Characters at a time (except for some special cases), with the fourth one being labeled as a substitute if a character is defeated.

Development

The game's first beta test began on January 7, 2022, and the second began on June 10, 2022.[8] On March 23, 2023, Reverse: 1999 was granted an ISBN, which means a permission for its official release in mainland China. The game started a third beta test on April 14[9] before officially released in China on May 31, 2023. The global version beta test ran from August 4 to 13, 2023, and the game rolled out fully on October 26, 2023.[10]
