404 GAME RE:SET | Japanese

The game features character design by Yuugen (ゆーげん) a light novel illustrator who worked on The Legend of Rebuilding World by Realist Demon King, Cross X Regalia, Life Alive!, Outbreak Company, and more.

404 Game Reset is a mobile gacha game where players take back the world from the clutches of the mega-corporation SEGA, which has since dominated the entire world from its infrastructure, to entertainment. Here you’ll be freeing the game franchises under SEGA from its clutches, and begin to take the world back bit by bit, restoring it to its original form.

While very little was shown of actual gameplay, we got to see some of the game’s features including its character screen which shows the model of Virtua fighter the functions of leveling up, and grade up which will likely raise that unit’s rarity. The game seems to be a tower defense with multiple waves, and skills you can activate by tapping on the character’s portrait on the right.

The game features you commanding a squad of sega’s most iconic video game series as 3D characters, each fully voiced by famous anime voice actors. There were other game series introduced in the showcase, including Crazy Taxi, but didn’t have full character art shown.

Characters can also have alternate versions called Cathode and Anode, referencing the cathode ray tubes used to give color to old CRT displays and arcade machines.
