Description
Ether is everywhere, it knows no boundaries. All life emerges from Ether and returns to it after death. It is the flow of Life and Death itself. You fought for dominance over this precious and powerful resource and claimed it for your own. A new threat emerges from the mists of Chaos, threatening the very fabric of existence. Heroes must be called from every corner of the land, armies trained,creatures summoned, and spells prepared. The war for Ether is rekindled and it’s up to you to win the battle, not just for yourself but for existence itself.

Etherlords 2 is an exciting mix of role-playing, adventure, and tactical combat in the fine tradition of fantasy trading card games. Rediscover the world of Ether and a whole new realm of fantastic possibilities. Lead your Hero through five campaigns, through lands filled with unsurpassed beauty and danger. Summon a wide variety of creatures--Lamia Warriors, Red Dragons, Walls of Air, and more--to help you achieve victory on the battlefield. Use all the power at your disposal to show your enemies that is you who deserves to have complete control of Ether. The Ether is eternal, the Ether is all-powerful, and now it will be under your command. If you're looking for a strategic challenge and you like trading-card games, this is your best pick!

Multiplayer notice: The game's multiplayer servers have been taken offline, however, multiplayer over LAN is still available.
  • Hundreds of spells and creatures that offer nearly unlimited tactical possibilities.
  • Enhance your Hero’s skills throughout each campaign with new spells, creatures, and abilities.
  • Five non-linear campaigns spanning a stunning and magnificent 3D fantasy world.
  • Boats, tunnels, and transporters give you the means to thoroughly explore every corner of the Etherworld.

Magic The Gathering game

I have a soft spot for this game, I always return to it after some time. I am big fun of magic the gathering and there's no other single PC game using the MTG rules. Mind there are games with similar rules, but none ever reached out to me as Etherlords did. Not sure, if it's because they are not following the MTG rules so faithfully as etherlords or some other reason, but that's how the things stand for me.

Challenging but nostalgic

I played this game as a child and was lucky to find it here. As a kid I struggled paying the game, the battles seemed hard and one time I even managed to get through the Vital campaign, which was a big achievement. As an adult now, I should be able to more easily play this game, but turns out, this game just really is that hard. I was playing on medium difficulty and struggled with some enemies several levels below me. RNG has to be on your side. There is also only a limited amount ot ressources with which you can buy new spells, so be careful what to buy. I play it because it's nostalgic, but it is very challenging and I have to take breaks between sessions, so as to now get mad at the game.

Magic mixed with king bounty

My titles says almost everything. Don't expect the level of deepness you'll find in KB, the game is very linear and poorly written. However, IF you like luck based games and how to make luck less random and more in your favour (by choosing the appropriate deck for example) you'll have a lot of fun, despite you still cannot mix deck colours (except white). If you like precise planning and mechanical precision, you'll get frustrated beyond repair. But as I said with the Etherlords I : Luck and randomness are also a factor in strategy, exploring it may be also an interesting experience.
