“As much as it feels genuinely refreshing for the first few hours, you soon realise you’re being hounded by the same half dozen or so enemy types every fight, and it all becomes a bit of a drag,” she stated. But the choices of Eternal Arena may create some extra attention-grabbing–and distinctive–situations. And possibly you simply actually wanna struggle?

Eternal Arena is £3.74/€4.99/$4.99 on Steam and GOG. If you backed the Kickstarter to get the game, you must now see the DLC added robotically to your library.
