Our take on Rise Eterna War
Its defining structure is the fusion of real-time battlefield command with deck building and resource management, placing troop provisioning and card-based decisions inside a character-led prequel campaign.
What is Rise Eterna War?
Rise Eterna War follows Arthbane, a general leading a resistance campaign against the occupying Athracian army, 10 years before Rise Eterna.
The campaign spans 40+ story-driven missions in which players balance battlefield decisions with resource management and deck-building mechanics. Up to 16 units can be recruited, while 11 legendary heroes provide additional commanders, including returning characters. Troops require meals purchased through the Chuckwagon, and coins are collected to feed and strengthen the army. Units and mounted ballista bolts have multiple upgrade levels. The character-focused narrative explores Arthbane's response to the fall of his nation and his attempt to reclaim the capital Gaiacus.
