Indie RPG made with passion by a handful of old-school RPG fans. Eternium is an amazingly fun and beautifully crafted Action RPG, reminiscent of the great classics. Eternium stands out from other mobile Action RPGs by its effortless “tap to move” and innovative “swipe to cast” controls, and its player-friendly “no paywalls, never pay to win” philosophy. Drawing signs to cast spells is easy and rewarding. The tap-to-move control is more natural and relaxing than thumbsticks, and it’s also truer to the vintage point-and-click Action RPG experience. The game can be really played for free, as more than 90% of our players do. Purchases are completely optional. Gems, the game’s main currency, can be collected from enemies and quests. There is no limiting stamina or energy. The best things in the game are obtained by playing, not paying. With the exception of a couple of online-only features, the game can also be played offline after the content download completes. Eternium initially launched in 2014, and is actively being improved by the original development team. Through years of polishing, and feedback from millions of players, the quality of the game has steadily increased, making it now one of the highest rated games on the App Store. Enjoy the visceral satisfaction of responsive, fast-paced combat, with spectacular special effects, pleasing sounds, rewarding damage numbers, all set against immersive backdrops and atmospheric, inspiring music scores. Play as a Mage, Warrior or Bounty Hunter, wielding a sword, axe, staff or gun. Level up to learn new abilities and increase your attributes. Battle skeletons, zombies, automatons, aliens, demons, dragons and many other creatures, across four beautifully hand-crafted worlds, or in endless generated levels. Venture into dark caves and dungeons, explore forests, villages and graveyards, lay siege to demon controlled castles, brave snowy mountain peaks, travel to the moon to slay strange creatures among craters and canyons, and beyond, to the deserts, pyramids and jungles of the red planet. Open treasure chests to loot gold, gemstones and battle gear. Equip shiny breastplates, menacing helmets and hoods, spiked shoulder pads, mysterious cloaks or capes. Protect yourself with a shield, or choose to wield two weapons as a warrior. Rescue your tank, healer and ranger companions who will join you in battle. Use their abilities together with yours to create rewarding and powerful tactical combos. Experience a refreshing storyline, filled with interplanetary intrigue and seasoned with funny characters. Hunt your arch-enemy, Ragadam, across the worlds, while trying to uncover and undo his twisted plans. Progress from common to rare, epic and legendary gear. Find gemstones that fit in your armor’s sockets. Craft socketed rings and amulets, and fuse three of them into a higher quality one. Unleash awesome offensive abilities, such as Whirlwind, Shockwave, Arc Lightning or Immolate, control the enemy crowd with Frost Nova, Vortex, Silence, or sneak and assassinate with Smokescreen, Traps and Snipe. Each hero class has access to about 20 abilities (skills or spells), and each of your three companions has four more. The game starts simple, but culminates in a flurry of tactical possibilities at high levels. Once your hero reaches level 70, your experience points go into Champion Levels, which are unlimited and yield steady stat upgrades. Champion Levels are also inherited by your new heroes, so they will have an easier time growing up. Aside from the four story acts, an endless progression of beautiful, randomly generated levels awaits in the Trials of Valor game mode. Please see here for our Privacy Policy.

Abyss of Darkness, Blade Seals the Soul. Welcome to ABYSSBLADE, a 3D dark action single-player mobile game. 【Weapon-Driven Classes: Switch Freely Between All Kinds of Combat Styles】 There are no class restrictions here. Diving into the perilous Demon Abyss, you’ll obtain powerful weapons, each with unique skills. Wield a staff, and you become a mage who commands wind and rain; grab a bow, and you turn into a sharpshooter who hits targets from a hundred paces. As a qualified Demon Sealer, mastering all kinds of weapons—swords, spears, clubs, and more—is essential to tackle the diverse and formidable monsters. 【Solid Action Gameplay: Overcome Odds with Skill】 Forget flashy, over-the-top special effects—here, every strike lands with tangible impact. Each boss has distinct skills and patterns. Mindless button-mashing won’t take you far into the Abyss. You must study bosses to find their weaknesses, then use positioning and skill combos to challenge demon lords and claim rich treasures. Remember: Your fingers are your deadliest weapons! 【Randomness & Adventures: The Abyss Disk with Hundreds of Buffs】 No two runs are the same. Every dive into the Abyss is a new adventure—encounter different monsters and gain random gems at the Disk Altar. By combining gems, unlock over a hundred magical buffs, or even activate your demon bloodline to transform into the Lord of Terror. Crafting strategies based on the Disk’s abilities is the key to victory. 【Diverse Build Crafting: Create Your Unique Equipment Strategies】 Weapons in the Abyss boast varied skills, and equipment carries special abilities. As you collect them, experiment with combinations to design your combat builds—the right synergy unleashes overwhelming power. The tide of demons is approaching. Before they swamp our homeland, we must dive into the Abyss and shatter their madness. Fear not failure—we grow stronger with every fall! ---- World Background ---- There is a path to the Abyss connecting human civilization and the Demon Realm. In the north of the Lothar Kingdom lies a great chasm leading to the Abyss. Periodically, a “Demon Tide” surges—demons pour into the human world, cruel and bloodthirsty, slaughtering humans and devouring souls. Despite relentless resistance, each tide brings tens of thousands of casualties, a cycle that has persisted for eons—until the birth of a new race. Long ago, a child with purple skin was born, bearing demon-like short horns on his forehead and mysterious violet-red blood. His name was Toris, the world’s first demi-demon. He retained human consciousness while wielding demon power. During a Demon Tide, he displayed unmatched might, securing humanity’s first victory. Soon after, Toris ventured alone into the chasm to explore the Abyss—never to return. Over time, more demi-demons emerged. The Lothar Kingdom gathered them to form the Demon Sealer Order, making them the first line of defense against demons at the chasm. The Abyss is fraught with danger, but its rich demonic energy grants demi-demons extra power and extended lifespans. Some fall in battle, while others grow stronger—evolving from downcast demi-demons with rusted swords to godlike Demon Sealers in legendary gear. As generation after generation of Sealers delves deeper, a earth-shattering secret slowly surfaces. ---- When you gaze into the Abyss, the Abyss gazes back at you. ----
