Our take on Eternum EX
The page emphasizes nostalgia and a broad appeal to newcomers, but the core offer is a fixed set of 25 arcade platform levels with progressively increasing difficulty. That distinction matters for players expecting a longer or more open-ended adventure.
What is Eternum EX?
Eternum EX is a retro platform game about Sir Arthur, an aging knight who enters the underground kingdom of Samarnath to find treasure and five magical orbs.
Its structure divides 25 levels into worlds of five levels each, with difficulty that increases as the game progresses. The play centers on platforming, with varied enemies and secrets to find in each level. Special stages feature final bosses. The game uses 16-bit visuals and a soundtrack, and includes a worldwide high-score leaderboard. Its simple controls and gradually rising challenge are presented for players familiar with arcade games as well as those starting with retro titles.
