Echoes of Aeons arrives on iOS

After over 8 years of development, the hotly anticipated Echoes of Aeons has finally launched for iOS. Alchimia Studios and Crescent Moon Games’ love letter to the RPG genre mixes old-school adventuring with modern sensibilities in a way that makes it both a great entry point and something that battle-hardened veterans can easily appreciate. Watch the launch trailer here:

It takes place in the land of Terra and tells the tale of Rinelesca “Rin” Stellaris and Eldric Estellion. They’re both dealing with some pretty earth-shattering dilemmas, with Rin being the heir to the land of Lusec, a nation caught in the midst of a great war, and Eldric dealing with the issue of maybe, possibly not being entirely human.

While it might outwardly appear to be a purely old-school RPG, it’s a lot more modern than you’d perhaps expect. For starters, it ditches the turn-based battles of its biggest inspirations in favour of action-packed, real-time combat.

The art style and overall presentation are regularly stunning, its world has gradually drawn me in, and it has that grand, sweeping feel of the best old-school RPGs.

Honestly, it’s just super refreshing to play a mobile RPG without excessive compromises or monetisation woes. This is a meaty, complete adventure made with passion, flair, and a great deal of care. It’s definitely one to check out if you’re a fan of the genre or have bounced off other, seemingly similar games in the past.

Echoes of Aeons is now available for purchase on the App Store as a premium title priced at $4.99. Get the game using our iTunes gift cards here:
