Eternal Dread 2

Eternal Dread 2 is an action RPG set in a bleak world where demons have oppressed humanity for years. After the four Elder Fiends were defeated, the surviving humans began hunting the remaining demons. Most men had been decimated in the ongoing struggle, leaving the young and elderly unable to fight; women in their prime took up arms to protect humanity. As the hunt made progress, a new tide of darkness began to loom, threatening another era of torment.

Playable characters

You can choose from six characters, each with distinct skills and gameplay:

• Warrior: excels at close combat and archery, with both attack and defense prowess.
• Ranger: uses marksmanship and can summon beasts to aid her in battle.
• Mage: uses arcane powers to exploit elemental weaknesses and deal massive damage.
• Battle Mage: combines melee combat and magic to fight foes with physical or magical resistance.
• Engineer: builds turrets, golems and other gadgets to make up for her physical shortcomings.
• Guardian: has strong defenses and can reinforce herself or reflect damage.

Prepare for battle

There is no leveling or grinding. Instead, you equip weapons, skills and a signet, then tune your setup to your preference before heading into battle. Enemies are challenging: charging into a horde and hacking away is dangerous, so using your skills well is important to surviving and defeating them, including fearsome foes.

Items and defeat

A Shared Stash lets you pass items between your characters, including drops that are useless to the character you are currently playing. When you lose, the game shows a Game Over scene that varies according to the location and the foe that defeated you.
