Eternium 12+

As an old school Diablo gamer this game has found a special place in my heart. There have been a number of games that have tried to get the dungeon crawler formula right, but Eternium hits every sweet spot! The maps are just the right size for mobile gaming, clearable fairly quickly so it’s good on the move, but it also gives you a nice sense of exploration.
The abilities are well balanced and feel like they really change how the characters are played. Different bosses even encourage changing your abilities and tactics to deal with them instead of one “killer build”.
The crafting system is well fleshed out, once you understand how the various mats work and where they come from it’s pretty easy to pick up, but deep enough to keep the grind going.
One of the best things I can say about this game is that the developers seem to have hit the sweet spot between free and paid content. They don’t charge an arm and a leg for “gems” (standard in-game currency) and give you plenty of chances to earn them with generous daily quests. It’s an understated thing, but it makes the game EXPONENTIALLY more enjoyable.
Overall I have lost a good bit of time playing “just one more map” and have been loving every minute of it. Do yourself a favor, download it and try it for yourself, you won’t be sorry!!!

Eternium is an excellent game. The controls are easy to learn. The graphics are great. The storyline is ok. Things like skills, weapons and armor are awesome. The best part is that it’s 100% free! Too many games are either pay to play or filled to the top with ads. I’ve maxed out my character and I haven’t spent a cent or watched a single ad. Everything can be earned through playing or crafted with materials earned through playing. Grinding might get repetitive, but the rewards are definitely worth it. Over all, this is an amazing game.

A couple of things I think could be improved: 1. The characters’ intelligence. If you try to attack an enemy behind a wall, instead of going around, you just start shooting the wall. The same goes for companions and monsters. 2. Trial levels. The first five or six are pretty cool, but after that they just get repetitive. 3. Crafting anything decent is expensive. I’ve been working towards crafting Elban’s Scepter and between crafting Mithril, essences and the base cost, it’s looking like it’ll cost me over a million gold.

Despite the improvements I think could be made, they don’t take away from the rest of the game at all, which is amazing. I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about downloading.

I’d love to give this game 5 stars and I will. It’s amazingly addictive and I’ve only spent $0.99 in the 2 days I’ve played it and that was basically to make sure there were no ads. I’ve made it through 2 of the 4 campaign maps already and have almost maxed them for gems already on normal. Not sure what else there is but I’m definitely going to keep going. I’ll admit, I’ve played constantly for the past couple days and it would probably take a couple weeks to get to this point with normal, random gaming but like I said it’s addicting. My frustrations with this game are getting stuck in random spots and having the game crash on me after I’ve used an arena ticket to search for an opponent(PVP). Getting stuck can take some time to get out but sometimes you have port back to town or reset. For the arena, I’ve crashed after using a ticket to search for an opponent and I don’t get that ticket back. Those are little things that make me not want to give this game 5 stars but since it’s a free to play game they are able to be overlooked to certain extent. We’ll see how things continue with the game but for now it’s been a great game and the dialogue and voice acting are fun.
