Eternal Poison

About

Eternal Poison is a turn-based strategy RPG set in a fractured world where a kingdom's princess is kidnapped by demonic forces. Players guide one of five distinct factions through the war-torn realm of Besek, each with unique motivations and tactical styles. Combat blends traditional RPG character progression with grid-based battles, requiring careful positioning and resource management to overcome enemies. The story unfolds through each group's perspective, creating a layered narrative as choices and alliances shift the war's momentum. The game stands out for its deep strategic layering, balancing territorial control with party-specific mechanics like poison-based abilities and terrain manipulation. While not widely discussed today, its 2008 release earned modest praise for weaving multiple storylines into a cohesive whole without overwhelming players. The PlayStation 2 version remains the only official release, catering to fans of tactical depth and branching narratives.
