I was given a PS5 code from PR Company Terminals @terminalsio @evolve_pr Publisher, Developer Yellow Brick Games @YellowBrick_Qc
This is released in the UK on the 28/01/2025 and in the UK is priced at £32,99.
INTRODUCTION
Fight, Epic towering creatures while blending magical abilities with an arsenal of powerful weapons to prevent the world from crumbling.
FEATURES
- 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.
FAN ART
Story is interesting and fun.
Characters that you meet on your adventure all have own look and uses and own personality to them.
Enemies all have own look and all have own attacks to learn in order to defeat them and is fun climbing on bigger enemies then attacking them.
Weapons, Armor are cool as alot of variety to them and can be upgraded and all have own looks and feel to them and own stats aswell.
Resources are huge in this game as use them to upgrade base which improves crafting and amount of health potions and more also need resources to craft new gear and can upgrade the gear changing colour to offer different stats making own build and so much more.
World is fun with multiple zones that all have own biome to them and all have own lore and enemies and stuff to find and when get back to hub or base can see the resources in each area which is great for knowing where to go for gathering resources.
Difficulty options are nice as can adjust to suit everyone.
Controls can be fiddly, clunky especially when fighting groups as can get swamped by enemies often and not as smooth as hoped.
Can be daunting as alot to learn and alot of items requiring multiple resources to build stuff can be daunting as alot of to you need this to this and so on.
OVERALL SUMMARY
Overall story is fun, characters that you meet all have own personality and uses and a world that is fun to explore with enemies that all have own look and all have own attacks to learn in order to beat them also the Weapons, Armor, Resources all have own look and feel to them and own uses such as base upgrading to upgrading and crafting new gear and can even change the color and stats of gear which is awesome and has nice difficulty options to suit everyone. However for £32.99, can be daunting as alot to learn as alot of items to build need multiple different resources to build stuff and more also the controls are fiddly and clunky especially when fighting groups as easy get mobbed by groups of enemies and not as smooth as hoped.
WAIT ON A SALE.
