Originally released in China in May of this year, players worldwide will soon have the opportunity to experience the game for themselves.

So, what exactly is Reverse 1999 all about? The game unfolds in an alternate reality, where peculiar occurrences began unfolding at the turn of the millennium.
“On the 31st of December 1999, a storm like no other, The Storm, struck. The rain poured upwards, defying gravity and flowing from the ground to the sky. Time started flowing backward, catapulting the world into an earlier era. Hence the title, Reverse 1999.”
In this captivating tale, players follow the Timekeeper, a young woman named Vertin, who remains unaffected by the chaotic ebb and flow of time. She embarks on a quest to unravel the mysteries behind this backward progression.
The battles in Reverse 1999 are card-based, with players utilizing different characters represented by a hand of cards on the screen. Each card corresponds to a character move, adding a strategic element to the gameplay. The character sprites have a charmingly toony and simplified design, while the battles themselves boast flashy and visually appealing sequences.
