Build it your way

  • 260+ skills to choose from
  • 17 skill trees
  • 1 in 3 of an Eternal's skills fit in one campaign
  • 15 ways to make up your party

A campaign gives you about 28 skill points. Learning everything one Eternal has costs more than 80, so every point is a choice.

  • Choices that stick

    Some skills lock each other out, and you get one respec per playthrough. Commit to your build.

  • Skills earned in battle

    Five skills unlock through deeds in a fight. Synn only learns Possess after 15 mind controls.

  • Heroes that work together

    Synn's Drenched makes Frazzah's Frozen harder to break. Frazzah's Chilled makes Morrathil's Rooted harder to escape.

  • Set up, then strike

    Frazzah's Thrust pierces deeper into any stunned enemy. Roki's Sandworn makes a target take more damage from every source.

  • Look after your allies

    Psychic Haste gives a friend extra actions and movement. Cleansing Rain cures Bleeding, Poisoned and Burned.

  • Eternal relics

    Each Eternal earns a Legacy Relic that reshapes their signature skills. Later, you forge it into an Epic one.

Four Eternals

  • Painted portrait of Ara the Geomancer, a young woman in leather armour with sand and pebbles swirling around her raised hands.

    Ara the Geomancer

    Fights with pebbles: ricochet shots at range, a pebble shield up close, and Roki, a sentient pebble that grows with her.

    Skill trees Stoneward Companion · Pebble Volley · Gravitic Control · Geode Cartographer

  • Painted portrait of Frazzah the Cryomancer Knight, a pale warrior in jagged ice armour leaning on a frozen sword, with snowy mountains behind him.

    Frazzah the Cryomancer Knight

    Build him as a pure swordmaster, or as a cryomancer who fills the field with up to seven ice clones.

    Skill trees Swordmaster's Legacy · Frostforged Mastery · Glacier Echoes · Hearthwarden

  • Painted portrait of Morrathil, the Wrath of the Forest, a towering creature of twisted wood in a misty forest, with crows circling him.

    Morrathil the Wrath of the Forest

    Spreads plague and blight, and raises an undead treant that evolves in stages beside him.

    Skill trees Revenant Gardens · Hive Confluence · Plaguebringer · Blightwright Tactics

  • Painted portrait of Synn, the Leviathan's Daughter, a sea witch with green skin and a scaled tail, coiled on a rock in a stormy sea.

    Synn the Leviathan's Daughter

    Moves through stealth and mist, turns enemies against their own side, and can possess them outright.

    Skill trees Psychovore Elegy · Breathless Veil · Tidal Aegis · Puppeteer's Mandate

Each Eternal has four skill trees of their own, and all four share a fifth, Temporal Weave, built around Shimmer.

Gear, ground and monsters

  • 66 handcrafted items

    Each has a fixed effect. Reset every cooldown with the Chronosphere, or rise again with the Crown of the Undying.

  • The Blacksmith

    Epics never drop. You forge all 16, including a Cinderscale Egg that hatches a Black Dragon ally.

  • 11 terrain types

    Lava burns, snow chills you until you freeze, and some skills reshape the map mid-fight.

  • 20 conditions

    Stunned, Horrified, Burned, Poisoned, Hasted and more. Drenched puts out Burned, and Chilled stacks into Frozen.

  • Monsters with tricks

    Over 20 kinds of monster that flank, focus fire and stalk from stealth, led by demon commanders Vexaroth and Baron Valdris.

  • Elites

    Elites roll random affixes from a pool of 17, like Impervious, Regenerative, Venomous and Fireborn.

On the battlefield

  • Shimmer

    Gather Shimmer from the world and fallen monsters. When a die misses, spend it and the die lands on its best result.

    A row of dice above a hex grid. One die lands on a miss, rewinds, and lands again on its highest face.
    A missed roll, rewritten with Shimmer.
  • Move, then act

    Moving never costs an action. Engagement and attacks of opportunity reward careful positioning.

  • Stealth

    Contested dice rolls decide who gets seen. Strike from stealth for extra true damage.

  • Sight and fog of war

    Creatures and walls block shots, and you only see what your team sees.

Ways to play

  • An eight-chapter campaign

    About 6 to 8 hours, plus a tutorial. Each chapter has its own objective, from clearing the field to getting villagers to safety.

  • Online co-op

    Up to 4 players over Steam. Monsters scale with your party, and a fallen Eternal gets back up after two rounds.

  • Local co-op

    2 players on one PC, through the whole campaign. Steam Remote Play Together works too.

  • PvP

    Capture the Box in 1v1 or 2v2, or Judgement Hill, a deathmatch for up to four sides, free-for-all or in teams.

  • Controller support

    The whole game works on a pad, with Xbox or PlayStation button prompts.

  • The little things

    Mid-level checkpoints, Steam Cloud saves, 23 achievements, a damage breakdown for every hit, and one key to repeat your last ability.

How it started

Eternally started three years ago as a question: what would a PvP RPG look like if it played like a board game, for 2 to 4 players? Then the playtesters kept teaming up. So co-op grew into a full campaign, and PvP stayed in as its own mode.

I've put my heart and soul into this game. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I've enjoyed making it.

Short description

Eternally is a turn-based dark fantasy RPG on a hex grid, where every attack is a dice roll. Build one of four Eternals from over 260 skills across 17 skill trees. One campaign holds about a third of an Eternal's skills, so every run plays differently. Play alone, with up to three friends online, or with one friend on the same PC.

AI content

Three non-playable characters have AI-generated voices: the Celestial, who narrates the story, and the villains Vexaroth and Valdris. A small number of sound effects were also made with AI tools. The playable Eternals are voiced by human actors. Nothing in the game is generated by AI while you play.
