Character Class

In Ethernalis, player adopts a character and embarks upon adventure to fight for it's survival in an unforgiving, dark & hostile world.

Every character that manages to complete their initial quest lands in your library (with all it's equipment, experience, skills and everything that makes it unique) ready to battle against other Heroes in Multiplier Mode or take up further adventures.

Players begin their adventure by choosing one of three characters that have been made available for them by the game engine. Each of the three cards will be procedurally generated for the player and will fall into a particular Character Class. Each Character Class comes with unique features and abilities. Mana and Health regeneration, Hunger and Thirst are only some of the properties affected by the class choice.

Every starting character will also come with class item set and a bonus random card from the Dungeon Deck
