About Elohim Eternal II: Son of Man
Elohim Eternal II: Son of Man is a science fantasy RPG developed by George Alexandros. Released on PC in September 2025, it tasks you with leading a rebellion against the oppressive Pleroman regime. The story focuses on personal relationships and moral dilemmas, drawing clear parallels to Xenogears. Combat is fast-paced turn-based, inspired by Shin Megami Tensei, with a focus on weapon customization and mecha battles. You collect and upgrade firearms with unique perks, manage a squad of rebels, and pilot a giant mech in key missions. The game’s blend of deep narrative and tactical gameplay makes it a standout for fans of character-driven RPGs.
Gameplay
The core loop mixes base-building, resource management, and turn-based combat. Each session starts with choosing missions to gather materials or recruit allies. Combat feels tight, requiring you to balance weapon types, elemental weaknesses, and positioning. Mecha fights are separate events, offering slower but heavier mechanics where you target specific parts of enemies. Dialogue choices and loyalty mechanics influence story outcomes and faction relationships. Controls are keyboard/mouse optimized, with a steep but fair learning curve. Battles often last 5, 10 minutes, while story segments take 30, 60 minutes. The game rewards experimentation with gear builds and party composition.

PlayPile's Take
At $49.99, Elohim Eternal II is a mid-length RPG with high rewatchability. It’s ideal for players who enjoy tactical turn-based combat, deep character arcs, and customization systems. The 347 achievements add 20+ hours of optional content, but the dense lore and UI may frustrate newcomers. Skip if you dislike long setup phases between battles. For $50, it delivers a satisfying blend of Xenogears’ narrative depth and SMT’s strategic combat. Worth it if you’ve 40+ hours to invest in a story-driven rebellion tale.
