Eternium

What Eternium is

Eternium is an action-focused role-playing game from Making Fun. You choose a Mage, Warrior or Bounty Hunter, then fight through fantasy and science-fiction settings filled with skeletons, demons, dragons, automatons and other enemies. It suits players who want a mobile RPG built around direct combat, character progression and loot rather than a short, puzzle-like experience.

How it plays

Movement uses taps instead of a virtual joystick, while abilities are activated by drawing gestures on the screen. That gives battles a more deliberate feel: you can move around threats, trigger skills and combine your character’s abilities with those of rescued companions, including a tank, healer and ranger.

• Explore hand-crafted worlds as well as endlessly generated levels.
• Collect gold, gemstones, weapons and armor from quests and treasure chests.
• Improve your character with new abilities, attributes and higher-rarity equipment.
• Craft and combine jewelry, and use socketed gemstones to tune your gear.

What to keep in mind

The game is designed around ongoing progression, repeated battles and equipment upgrades, so it is a better fit for players who enjoy developing one or more characters over time. Most of the core experience can be played without spending money, although some features require an internet connection and purchases are available. Offline play is supported after the required content has been downloaded.

At a glance

Eternium has a 4.78/5 rating from more than 2.6 million reviews and 10,000,000+ installs. Those numbers point to a large, engaged player base, but the useful question is whether its tap-and-gesture controls, fantasy combat and loot-driven progression match your preferences. If you want a story-led RPG with companions, varied worlds and optional spending, it is a strong candidate; if you prefer quick sessions with little repetition, its longer progression loop may feel demanding.
