A wonderful adventure built around great characters

Eternal Strands places you in a group of adventurers that are the first to reach the Enclave, a once-powerful land that was sealed away decades ago after a magical disaster. As a team you must work together to survive the harsh environment and piece together what fate befell these lands. Gameplay-wise this is an action adventure game with some minor RPG mechanics. All of your equipment is crafted and upgraded from the materials you find in the world or collect from the many enemies you'll encounter. That includes many massive boss-like creatures that take work to fell but provide you with powerful magic and high quality materials. Exploring the world is made enjoyable by a very permissive climbing system that is limited only by your stamina and allows you to climb up sheer cliffs or tall buildings as you explore. Your magic abilities also interact with the world in neat ways, like using ice to build bridges or block paths, or using gravity magic to throw a whole tree at your enemies. The real shining star of the game is the characters and writing. The game is focused on a relatively small band of characters, and that limited scope allowed them to spend a lot of time developing each member of the crew. Each of them have their own stories and character development that will unfold throughout the course of the game. I was legitimately interested in each character's thoughts and opinions as the story progressed. I also can't mention the characters without giving a shout out to the exceptional voice acting on display here, which is seriously some of the best voice work I've heard in a while. They each succeed in fully realizing these characters, their highs and lows, their quirks, and everything else that helps them feel like interesting characters. The only issue I can mount against the game is some performance concerns, particularly in certain open areas and when the chaos of battle sees the breakable props that scatter the environment broken into many physically interactive bits. A blemish on an otherwise exceptional experience.

This is a free demo version of Eternal Strands, a new fantasy action game created by Yellow Brick Games.
In the demo version, you can play the beginning of the full version, and the save data you create in this demo version can be used to continue playing the full version from where you left off.

Eternal Strands is a third-person fantasy action game where ARPG-style elemental mastery meets open-zone exploration and improvisation. Players step into a richly reactive world, not just to follow a path, but to forge one.
You play as Brynn, a young Weaver, wielding fire, ice, and kinetic magic as tools of survival, strategy, and power. Whether freezing a dragon’s wings mid-flight or tearing apart the battlefield with physics-driven chaos, every encounter demands quick thinking and creative control, not just reflex.

With full traversal freedom, dynamic environments, and colossal foes that must be scaled and outwitted, Eternal Strands invites players to explore on their terms and fight on their instincts. There are no locked builds, no scripted solutions - just raw power, a broken world, and the legend you choose to create. A game where the elements obey you, the terrain bends to your will, and every victory is entirely your own.

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.
