Eternal Siege

About Eternal Siege

Eternal Siege is a tactical tower defense game by SIP Productions that drops you into a war between two royal siblings. Set in a world where you start in Ancient Greece and progress through eras, it mixes base building with survival strategy. Released in 2025 for PC, it’s a single-player grind where you manage resources, spells, and tower placements to fend off endless enemy waves. The twist? Your goal isn’t to win but to outlast, how long can you survive before your king’s city falls? With its focus on long-term planning and escalating difficulty, it’s a game about delaying inevitable collapse.

Gameplay

You begin by gathering resources like stone and mana to build towers and cast spells. Early waves are manageable, but enemies grow stronger over time, forcing you to upgrade defenses and adapt strategies. Each era introduces new units and mechanics, like future-tech weapons or magical constructs. The real challenge lies in balancing immediate threats with long-term upgrades. You’ll spend most sessions tweaking layouts, prioritizing which structures to reinforce, and watching your city crumble under relentless pressure. Controls are straightforward but require quick decision-making during peak attacks. With no respawns, every choice carries weight.

What Players Think

Eternal Siege holds a 7.8/10 on Metacritic and 82% completion rate among PlayPile users, who average 18 hours of playtime. Community moods split between “frustrated” (35%) and “proud” (42%), with many praising its punishing difficulty and rewarding progression. One user wrote, “I’ve played for 40 hours and still haven’t beaten my first week’s high score, it’s maddening.” Critics note a 15% drop-off after 3 hours due to steep learning curves. Achievements include “Survived 1,000 Waves” and “Built a Pyramid Defense,” with 72% of players unlocking at least five.

PlayPile's Take

Eternal Siege is a hard game for players who thrive on optimization and endurance. At $29.99, it offers 20+ hours of stress-inducing fun, but its unforgiving pace won’t suit everyone. Fans of resource-heavy strategy games like Frostpunk or Factorio might appreciate its depth. Skip this if you dislike permadeath or endless loops. The leaderboard push adds replay value, but expect to restart often. It’s not for casual play, this is a slow-burn, high-stakes challenge.

Storyline

The king has exiled his brother for treason (or so we are told). You are an army General returning from a long trip, tasked with defending the kings city against his brothers attacks. In this strategical resource management tower defense, you will die...Eventually. There is no end to the eternal waves of attacks, but how long can you survive? Can you outlive the human era and reach the leaderboard?
