Eternium is a breath of fresh air in the often-cynical world of mobile RPGs. It is clearly a labor of love, designed as a tribute to the 'old school' ARPGs like Diablo. The most innovative feature is the 'draw-to-cast' system. Instead of just tapping buttons, you draw symbols on the screen to unleash spells. It makes the combat feel incredibly tactile and rewarding.
What really sets Eternium apart is its player-friendly philosophy. You can play almost the entire game offline, and it’s genuinely not pay-to-win. Gems (the premium currency) are earned at a fair rate just by playing. The loot system is deep, the environments are varied, and the character progression is nearly infinite. Whether you are a casual fan or a hardcore dungeon crawler, Eternium is a must-play experience that respects your time and your wallet.
Offline play support
No 'stamina' or 'energy' limits
Infinite character progression
Epic boss fights
To cast a spell, simply draw a sign on the screen. Draw a 'V' for a whirlwind or a 'Z' for a lightning bolt. This gesture-based system makes combat feel dynamic and engaging compared to simple button mashing.
Loot every chest and enemy! Take your excess items to the Blacksmith to dismantle them for materials. Use those materials to craft powerful 'Legendary' gear with custom stats tailored to your playstyle.
Yes! Once the content is downloaded, you can play the entire campaign without an internet connection.
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!!!
This game needs more up to date reviews August 2025 now. This game is amazing!! The preview listed above is what you get, there is classes and multiple skills and many ways to play in different styles. The main content alone takes a while to get through, I still havnt yet and been playing many hours everyday. If you want to spend $10-20 to get a boost and some extras things you can but you don’t have to. This game claims to be made by a group of gamers and I can tell! Most importantly the game feels good to play, there is multiple leader boards , voluntary PVP, and when you get max level it doesn’t stop there, the levels keep going and are endless similar to prestiges and you can make your character even stronger. Also the crafting is HUGE I’ve spent hours already just sitting there crafting and tweaking my builds. This is a game worth getting and supporting if you can!! Lastly, this is a game you can put down and walk away at anytime and you don’t lose your progress or items. I checked out the Reddit/online posts about this game and it’s outdated, there is a lot of content and even just today they released a whole new event creating more content lasting 9 days on top of the one that was already going on. 10/10
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.
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.
This is a legit RPG with a story, and leveling, and abilities, and gear, etc. it’s beautiful graphically and clever in a lot of ways. It’s absolutely free to play — you can even get the premium currency “gems” just by playing — and as of 2024 there are not even any ads. The downsides are that it’s really repetitive and even though it’s addictive in its own way, there isn’t much reason to keep going after you’ve beaten the campaign on normal — it’s just more of the same. There are daily quests that reward you with gems but they are a typical RPG grindfest. The “PVP” arena is actually you challenging an AI controlled player character that you will find unbeatable if they are geared even close to you, because the AI doesn’t make mistakes and worse, can stand off the screen and hit you while you can’t advance towards the enemy and hit them. PVP really is the biggest disappointment. You can also get stuck in places on some maps, and I don’t like how it can be impossible to move your character while in combat. But for an Indy mobile game that costs nothing, it’s well worth playing and giving 5 stars.
