Description

Play as Brynn, a young but fearless Weaver, determined to recover her people’s cultural home in the debut fantasy action-adventure title from Yellow Brick Games, a new independent studio founded by industry veterans.

 

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.

 

The World is Your Weapon

 

At the heart of Eternal Strands beats a revolutionary new system for gameplay interactions: heat spreads, cold chills, and real-time destruction allows for unprecedented reactivity in combat. Hurl burning tree trunks at enemies with telekinetic powers, snap nearby trees to block opposing fire, or channel raw telekinetic force to rip boulders from the ground.

Weaver of Magic

 

Wear the Mantle, a magical cloak that channels raw magic into raging flame, chilling ice, and telekinetic force. Combine your growing array of powers with enchanted weapons and armor crafted from slain enemies to create a custom look and style. Block incoming attacks with a wall of magical ice, lash out waves of flame from a massive two-handed blade, or toss enemies off a cliff with raw force.

 

Stand Against Giants

 

Face gigantic adversaries and defeat them through a mix of sword, spell, and mobility. Leap onto and climb their massive forms to attack from different angles. Shatter armor or slice at weak spots to diminish their protection. Use ice to pin limbs of a towering foe, arcane flames to burn their fur, or catch lobbed projectiles and turn their attacks back upon them in battles that will leave scars upon the land.

Unstable Climate to Master

 

Enhance the effectiveness of your ice abilities during a flash freeze to open up new paths. Use a heatwave to start a wildfire and watch it spread towards enemies as it consumes the tinder-dry trees and grass around it.

 

A World Rich with Secrets

 

Explore the wilds, the capital city of Dynevron, and the secrets beneath as every surface is climbable. Magical abilities can create bridges, burn barriers, or launch Brynn across the world. The next-generation physics system encourages and rewards player creativity in exploration as much as combat. As the Enclave’s secrets unfold, return to base camp to consult with a rich cast of characters. Each are keen to discover the mysteries of what happened to this lost bastion of power and knowledge.

 

A realm of mystery, opportunity, danger, and wonder: the Enclave awaits.

Hidden gem

This is a great game. TLDR: this is a "we have Zelda at home" game, of you enjoy good combat combined with a lot of exploration, you'll be right at home. I own this on steam and I have to say this is a great little game. It's action combat is very well made. While Nothing innovative in terms of the melee combat (you have your standard block\parry\dodge and combos), where the game truly shines is the spell system. I haven't finished it so I don't know every spell, but some examples are using ice to make paths for you to walk on or solve puzzles. Then you have the really cool "force throw" you can do on almost all objects in the game (including some enemies!), you have a black hole type spell to draw enemies in and spam them etc. Another cool feature is the zelda-esque climbing mechanic, where you can grab onto big enemies and reach weakspots. So yeah, very fun overall. Another really good part of the game is the lore. The game has very deep lore that's displayed by talking to your companions in base. Story seems alright (so far) as well and voice acting is quite good. The only problem is the game has a very soft, no stakes type of story feel. You know like most games nowadays, no one dies , you're never in danger, you get attacked by a dragon and somehow survive. That type of thing. I recommended it since it's nowhere near 60 bucks. I thinks it's definitely worth it especially with the sale. if you like Zelda you'll like this too.

A delicious mix...

So, what's the game like? It's a mix. And a pretty interesting one. You've got mostly hands-free open world exploration with plenty of places to climb, environment to interact and resources to loot. Your magic is a tool for combat as well as for interacting with the world, and the physics sandbox is delightful - yeeting annoying critters off the nearest cliff rarely gets old. Spells can interact with each other, adding to the sandbox feeling. And then there are the bosses. A bit of Dragon's Dogma, a dash of Shadow of the Colossus, and a squirt of Monster Hunter. They're big, they got patterns, you get to climb them to stab them in the weak bits and peel off armour, wings and what have you, and offing them gets you new spells and improves the ones you have. There's gear to craft, hidden collectibles to find and bits of lore to unearth, and personally, I think its a blast. This is the definition of a decent AA action game, at a fair price point, and a tiny bit of jank. It won't reinvent the wheel, but it's fun. Pick flowers, hack trees, set critters on fire and yeet them into each other, climb a drake, freeze its wings, ride it into the ground and do unmentionable things to its weak spots - it's all in a days work for our intrepid heroine and her support cast. Recommended.

Playing on PS5

I absolutely adore this game! I grabbed it on PS5 after playing it on Game Pass. That's how much I like it... I had access to it for free, but felt like the devs earned another $40 for it directly. The gameplay is like Monster Hunter, Shadow of the Colossus lite mixed with some fun and simple crafting elements that are super easy to understand and follow based on color coding for rarity and the effects translate into gear color too (very cool). The voice acting is superb, the soundtrack is beautiful (Austin Wintory - AC Syndicate, Journey - lots of strings and some really unique instruments used on it), and the story is intriguing enough to push you along through the world to discover what's been going on. It seems very small at first, but really opens up into some larger environments and fights can really get crazy. It's all about emergent gameplay with this one and I had some of the most memorable, chaotic fights with giant monsters that I've had in any game since Monster Hunter. Highly recommended.

About 10 hours in, absolutely loving everytning about it, from the music, the magic system, the enviornments, characters, worldbuilding, the ability to climb enemies -- it's all come together in a fantastic package that I cannot recommend enough!

Beutiful and unique game

The game is really fresh breth of gameplay. I myself never played anything like it. It is combination opeworld, resourcer harvesting, fighting and logic game, maybe with little speck of souls-like. The boss fights are amzing and fun. The game is looking amazingly. The voice acting is mix bag some characters are amazing some sound sometimes off. For some reason FPS sometimes drop a lot during cut scenes. and most importantly, you can pet a cow. I would recomend.
