Description


Eastward is a beautifully detailed and charming adventure game, from Shanghai-based indie developers, Pixpil.

In the near-future, society is starting to collapse, and the human population is at an all-time low. A deadly toxic presence has spread across the land, destroying and devouring everything in its path.

Those who could escape the miasma flocked to underground villages to start a new life. But for a hardworking miner and a mysterious young girl, the hope of a thriving outside world beckons…

Escape the tyrannical clutches of Sandfill’s subterranean society and join Eastward’s unlikely duo on an exciting adventure to the land above! Discover beautiful yet bizarre settlements and make new friends as you travel across the world by rail.

Contains adult humour and some mature themes.

Game Features




Discover the wonderfully weird world of Eastward. Climb aboard the cross-country railway which spans this decaying continent, stopping off to explore its bustling towns, curious campsites and shady forests.



Fend off peculiar monsters and ferocious bosses with John’s weapon of choice - be it a flamethrower, cog-shooter or your trusty ol’ frying pan. Feeling merciful? Try temporarily stunning them with Sam’s kinetic blast.



Switch between John and Sam to solve environmental puzzles and fight your way through formidable dungeons. Separate the duo to unlock hidden paths or stick together as you traverse a perilous landscape.



Get to know a quirky cast of characters with oodles of personality! Immerse yourself in a heartwarming story-driven adventure, packed with fun and wacky humour.


Create deliciously authentic Eastwardian cuisine using (mostly) fresh, organic ingredients from toxic forests, potcrab farms and abandoned malls. These delicacies will grant health bonuses, power boosts and secret boons.



Bop along to a wonderfully upbeat soundtrack composed by Joel Corelitz(Death Stranding, Hohokum, The Unfinished Swan), with sound design from Irish studio, Hyperduck Soundworks (Dust: An Elysian Tail, Kingdom Rush)

Eastward crafts a cozy journey through fascinating and bizarre realms, featuring a memorable cast. While lackluster combat and a few repetitive puzzle styles tarnish the experience, it's still a ride well worth taking

A strong love for storytelling and the feel of games like Earthbound makes Eastward shine even where the gameplay flags.

Eastward is a post-apocalyptic picaresque as charming as it is pretty, with simple action combat and puzzles that are accessible to everyone.

Very beautiful but...

Very beautiful pixel art but this was sale like a videogame. The gameplay is boring and very simple. If it had was a movie I would rate it with 5 stars, but it is not.

Nice art

This game gets 4 from me only for its lovely art and music. Appearance of the game brings associations with classic jRPGs. Sad fact is, this game is not RPG at all, despite genre specified in description. Genre is action and even platformer sometimes. Combats are realtime and require precision and high reaction. You control two heroes but only one is active – it could be interesting cooperative but now it is just troublesome single. World is relatively big but lacks opennes. Story is unclear. And John's muteness and submissiveness looking strange sometimes.

instantly loveable game.

Only played for an hour but already loving the atmosphere and the care that's been put into the game. The controls, the sounds, the art and the aesthetics in which it is presented gives an instant high quality that is pretty unique.

A great and intriguing action rpg!

The game has beautiful pixel sprite artwork, has unique and fun looking characters, great music, and a very interesting and humorous at times story! I definitely recommend this game!

Fantastic little gem

Really enjoyed my time in Eastward. Adventures of John and Sam will take through many places and never felt that game stayed over its welcome. While this is adventurous game, it has its cutscenes which some of them have length. I love cutscenes and getting more invested into story, so for me that is simply a plus. One of the more pleasant experiences i have played through in a longer while.
