7 Pillars

7 Pillars is a single-player RPG with turn-based combat. You control CJ, a young man with little-known history who is drawn into a war against Ethos, returned after 500 years to establish her pillars and conquer the earth. With almost everyone apparently dead, CJ and his friends must try to stop her.

Combat and progression

You gain enough XP to level up automatically. Character customization is limited to finding different weapons specific to each character. Exploration and random encounter battles are crucial to end-game success, as higher-level bosses will most likely require items such as healing potions and revival stimulants.

Choices and story

You make a handful of difficult choices on the way to one ending, following one of two paths. One choice in particular affects how you face Ethos in the final battle. Some details may seem vague, and you can walk through some walls; after defeating Ethos, you begin to understand what happened.
