The perpetual day has fallen upon the earth. Fight terrible monsters and yokai in the turn-based battles of Eternal Return, a turn-based strategy rpg. Use your hero's magic and your kami's (pokemon like monsters) magic to create the best strategy. Improve your weapons and magic thanks to card crawl. Eternal Return's battle system is similar to a board strategy rpg with turn-based battles. As you progress through dungeons, the monsters and bosses will become more and more powerful through almost infinite levels. Level up your hero, earn rewards and open chests to collect the game cards to improve your eternal sword and spells. This way you can choose between multiple types of weapons and attacks with the most diverse magic effects. Follow a fantasy story in a world of anime style, dystopian and with an atmosphere of japanese rpg. You’ll have to defeat the sun queen and the yokai hordes, so as to recover the eternal return cycle. Eternal Return takes the best things of other rpgs and great turn-based strategy games. You'll find multiple kami pets, magical monsters that fight for you. You can use them in turn-based battles, to defeat the most powerful monsters using their special magic. You can level up your Kami and teach them new attacks with very different effects that will allow you to define completely new fighting strategies.

Both are free to download. Haypi Monster sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Eternal Return sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Eternal Return holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Haypi Monster has 604 ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Haypi Monster's written reviews are positive against 50% of Eternal Return's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Haypi Monster ships an update every 6 weeks, Eternal Return every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
