Recover the enclave
Eternal strands He tells us the story of Enclave. This region was the cradle of science and magic in the world. But one day, suddenly, it was isolated by unknown causes. Now, after crossing your impenetrable barriers, a band of Weaver (The powerful magic users who combine sword and witchcraft with devastating effects) have managed to access this forgotten land.

Among this group of wizards stands out BrynnThe young woman we will play during the adventure. She is determined to recover the cultural house of her people, although it is necessary to face huge animals to obtain it.
Weaving
The eternal strands, as I commented a little earlier, is a Rpg of action where exploration plays a significant weight in the development of our character. Brynn has a sword, a shield and an arc to defend against the dangers that cross their missions. These tools, like our armor, can be improved with certain materials that we will find monsters or destroy environmental objects.
However, our weapons will not help us much against larger or gigantic animals Ark. More specifically, these enormous automata are a real challenge that recalls the shadow battles of the Colossus. As a weaver, Brynn has A layer that can channel pure magic in elementary spells of fire and ice or use telekinesis To move objects. With this, we can manage the fights and establish strategies to overcome them optimally.

The power of physics
And it is that in the powers of Brynn, this is where the authentic sauce of the title of yellow brick games resides. Eternal strands have a Physics warning system This results in elementary effects on the ground or in enemies.
For example, during a fight against a dragon, I had to use the magic of ice. This powerful boss spits from time to time a rocket from time to time, does not only consume everything on its way, but also The temperature of the terrain increases considerably. This incandescent floor will hurt us if we go up, so we have to cool it or create an frozen path to cross it. Likewise, we can also use the magic of fire to melt paths, frozen entrances that keep secrets or to burn enemies. Of course, we will have to be careful not to cause a forest fire.

Finally, we will have telekinesis at our disposal. We can use this magic to launch enemies or use trunks and stones like projectiles. Said concrete power will also be used to resolve certain environmental puzzles.
A mysterious world to explore
The eternal map of the strands is relatively wide and allows you to be explored with a total versionD, then each surface of the game is completely scalable (if you have enough endurance). Brynn's powers give us greater mobility and possibilities to reach areas that keep new stories and delinvae traditions.

With this information and the documents that we collect in our shipments, we will return camp. It works like a base and will allow us Build new equipment and weapons or impregnate them with magic To make them more powerful. Likewise, we can also Discuss with our style of visual novel. Even if we do not have to make heartbreaking moral decisions as we expect a role playing game, or to build obvious social ties generally associated with adventures focused on history, it is always worth stopping talk.
Almost perfect technical section
At the technical level, the game offers a Very colorful artistic section that the graphic engine tightens to the maximum Unreal engine 5. The use of light is also perfect, making lighting effects through trees or water reflex cups. In addition, throughout the adventure, we can enjoy Kinematics of traditional animation.

If we are talking about the sound section, the title has different musical themes which, although they do not attract too much attention, they come true well in the set.
Where the eternal strands have been disappointed the most was in its translation. The game is translated and folded into several languages, notably English, French, Portuguese and even Mandarin Chinese. But by Rastro del CastellanoNot even in the interface. Personally, I do not manage English, but I do not have such a high level to continue the plot with fluidity. Since the work of Yellow Brick Games seems to have a fairly original and interesting story, it gives me a lot of anger that there is no translation which is already the 4th most spoken language in the world.
In short
Eternal Strands is a very ambitious title which tries to follow the stages of the greats of the industry, but to maintain its personal mark. At the playable level, it offers a combat system that shines more for the use and the free magic combination than because of melee clashes, which seem to be decaffeinated. The exploration and conception of the world are good, although sometimes it feels empty. However, these typical open world problems hanging out the game are supported by battles against very intense and difficult bosses.
