Enthrean Radiance Prologue is an indie JRPG developed by Eggion and StellarNull. It tells the story of Millia and Razh’s mysterious journey, wrapped in beautiful visuals and atmospheric music. This game holds big potential to shine even brighter in its full release. Let’s check it out!
A Strong Start
Sometimes, an indie game that looks small at first may end up showing huge potential the moment you start playing. Enthrean Radiance Prologue is exactly that kind of game from the very first minute.
The story begins simply. Millia, a young girl traveling to Offelia City to carry out her mission as a SOFRA agent. But everything changes when she meets Razh, a stone-cold mysterious mercenary.
This short journey instantly feels like a gateway to something filled with unanswered questions. Every step Millia takes feels like entering another space full of mysteries intentionally placed by the developer.
The world of Enthrea isn’t built only through dialogue, but also through an atmosphere that slowly pulls you in. It feels like a world that was once grand, but now lives under the shadow of an unnamed threat.
Even though this prologue is short, it makes you feel like you’re staring at the entrance to a much larger adventure. Millia’s journey is only just beginning.
Millia
The story focuses heavily on Millia and Razh. As they serve as the core dynamic of the prologue.
Millia is a SOFRA agent with an important mission, finding and recruiting talented individuals who can help save Enthrea. Her determination pushes her to move forward despite the many dangers around her.
Her accidental encounter with Razh becomes the starting point of a relationship that begins purely as business. Razh, with his blunt, harsh, and very money oriented personality, initially sees Millia as just another client. But their differences will make the story far more interesting.

Razh
Razh himself is a complex character. He’s incredibly competent in battle, but his sarcastic and couldn’t-care-less attitude can be both annoying and entertaining. His health condition, especially his memory related issues, makes him even more mysterious.
There are clear hints that his past holds something important for the future of Enthrea, but the game intentionally doesn’t reveal it too quickly. Meanwhile, Millia remains a source of optimism. She may seem clumsy, but everything she does has clear direction, especially when it concerns the world she wants to save.
The contrast between the two creates a unique chemistry that keeps players curious about where their relationship will go.
Their connection is more than just bodyguard and client. As the story progresses, you’ll start noticing new reasons why Razh chooses to stay by Millia’s side. Even though in the beginning, he only cared about the money.
Classic Visuals
Enthrean Radiance Prologue also presents its world with a lot of soul. It combines hand-drawn anime style character art with pixel art environments. A classic JRPG style that’s still pleasing to look at.
The music elevates the experience even further. Every track is composed with soft, mysterious, and sometimes melancholic tones, reinforcing the beauty of Enthrea’s world while hinting at the darkness beneath.
This harmony between visuals and music makes the prologue feel immersive. You’re not just playing, it feels like stepping into a world with a unique atmosphere.

On The Fly
The combat system in Enthrean Radiance Prologue is rether simple, yet still fun to play. You get basic attacks and several skills. Each enemy has predictable patterns, so you can learn timing and figure out the most effective way to defeat them.
For fans of JRPGs or classic turn-based systems, this style will feel fresh. This game uses an on-the-fly combat, or real time action. So no loading screen, just straight action.
Not too complex, not too overwhelming, and still satisfying when you land a victory.
Huge Potential
As for exploration? It isn’t too broad. The game world is more linear, guiding you along a set path with little room to wander.
But this is really understandable, since the prologue focuses more on introducing the story and characters. And as a start, it’s good enough to give a stable foundation for the game’s direction.
Still, that doesn’t mean this part can’t be improved. In fact, it’s clear that Enthrean Radiance has plenty of room to grow. If the full version expands on these elements, the game could easily reach a higher level.
The prologue may be simple, but it achieves its main goal. Showing the direction of the story while leaving space for improvement in the future.
