Eternium

I typically don't like mobile games and especially paying for them because I usually know I won't like them. Eternium has become the exception not only because I didn't have to pay to start playing, but only had to pay $0.99 cents for the beginner starter pack which came with 350 gemstones and $2000 gold, which is completely optional if you got tired of having to watch ads for gemstones. That $0.99 cents were the was best dollar I've ever spent. The game itself reminds me of Diablo 1 and 2. It retains the same gameplay mechanics as the Diablo series and being a Diablo fan, makes this game all the more better. The story so far seems it a bit bland and tasteless, but that may be my fault for starting to skip through a lot of the dialog from boredom. Running on my iPhone 7, the game had a couple areas where it started running down into the lower frames (Some areas went as low as 30, some areas dipping only to 45), but other than that the game runs at 60 FPS. If you have a new generation iPhone, you’ll more than likely won’t have frame drops like I am. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys diablo like style games. The game is free and probably playable if you really didn’t wanna cough up the $0.99 cents for the starter package. I plan on letting my friend know about this game so that he may enjoy it like I am too.

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.

If you liked Torchlight or Diablo on the PC, you’ll love Eternium. Controls are very easy and the levels are varied and fun. Crafting, buying/selling equipment, using jewel sockets are very familiar to experienced RPG players. The depth of the game is actually surprising given it is a FREE mobile game. And there is lots of loot and gold to be found. There are also a lot of additional daily giveaways and extra gems to be had if you’re willing to sit through a bunch of 20 second ads during gameplay. Gaining experience and leveling up your character is relatively easy; however, once you get past the first few experience levels it takes a long time to level up your abilities and you can only level one ability at a time (unless you pay to level quicker). But so far I have not found the need to pay real world money for bonuses, gold, gems, etc. to advance in the game. The game doesn’t give you much in the way of tutorials, help or guidance considering how complex it can be, but there are online forums that can provide the information you need to play the game at whatever level you choose to play, from casual to hardcore. So all in all I’ve found Eternium to be a very enjoyable and even addictive game.

I love Eternium because it’s an easy game to play and it’s really fun because you can customize your character and choose between a mage a warrior and Hunter. The graphics are amazing and it’s really good gameplay you can easily get coins and diamonds. You can go from 8 diamonds to 43 diamonds. I love the monsters because it gives you a good challenge and I would definitely rate this five stars because it’s a really fun game and I usually play at almost every time that I can. The best part about it though is The sensation of opening up chest and getting closer so you can customize your character that’s my all-time favorite part other than defeating monsters I’m already on act three and I’ve only been playing this for a couple of months. There’s also a bunch of new stuff like a dressing room and I thought that that was really fun. but if the Developers could make a getting skins from the dressing room easier that would be awesome but of course the challenge is the game. Before I tried this game I read the reviews and most of them are awesome but some of them are not but that’s OK because it’s still a great game and it’s all about perspective. Im going to go back to playing Eternium now.

Before you nitpick about the over saturation of ads for gems in the main game- the actual content of the game especially compared to others like it, is exceptionally done. The story is decent while not incredible, and the graphics and skills are fun enough to keep some variation in how you play. You should be able to unlock at least 1 skill slot with gems acquired in game and most things although expensive are still possible given enough time and dedication. Like I said before the game can be frustrating at times with the “watch this ad to get 5 gems” boxes that appear after defeating enemies but it’s still somewhat welcome if you’re trying to grind for better equipment and slots for skills. The game could improve with more colorful and powerful skills- especially considering to get that level takes immense work. I like the game and would highly recommend it-honestly-the game is much better than many others that try to imitate the same style of rpg dungeon gameplay and is also much less pay to win in my opinion; although the presence of premium equipment and items that cost money is very intrusive at times. But that by itself doesn’t deserve to reduce the game to 3 stars when most games can’t even hold your interest long enough to play the game.
