Eternal Strands

About

Eternal Strands casts you as Brynn, a Weaver fighting to reclaim a hidden magical realm. Battle massive beasts and cunning foes by merging spellcasting with weapon-based combat. Scale cliffs and ancient walls using arcane abilities that also reshape the battlefield. Each fight demands using elemental tricks, like reversing a dragon’s fire to freeze its allies, while figuring out the Enclave’s secrets through exploration. The world teems with corrupted creatures and environmental puzzles that tie magic to physics. What grabs attention is the seamless mix of magic and melee. Every weapon feels distinct, and spells adapt to situations, letting you freeze enemies mid-leap or shatter stone to block attacks. The Enclave’s crumbling architecture and buried lore hint at a deeper world, though some combat transitions feel clunky. With 15 boss fights and a 20-hour story, it’s a bold but uneven ride. Players craving inventive third-person action with a dash of puzzle-solving will find plenty to unpack here.

Storyline

Decades ago, the Enclave unexpectedly sealed itself away from the rest of the world. A once powerful center of magical wonders now lies dormant.

Play as Brynn, a young but fearless Weaver, determined to recover her people’s cultural home, in this third-person action-adventure game. Armed with powerful magical abilities and an arsenal of magical weapons, face enemies that range from humanoid constructs to towering beasts. Use the environment and temperature to your advantage in battles against a diverse roster of fantastical creatures, like turning a dragon’s fiery breath against ice-covered minions. Climb every surface and use arcane skills to create new paths. Explore the world in pursuit of the Enclave’s lost mysteries and challenge giant titans on your journey. A realm of mystery, opportunity, danger, and wonder: the Enclave awaits.
