Acclaimed fantasy turn-based strategy game Etherlords wafts onto iOS devices

Etherlords, the acclaimed fantasy turn-based strategy game originally released for PC in 2001, has been rebuilt for mobile by developer Nival. And it’s out now on iOS.

Etherlords for iOS lets you engage in asynchronous battles between armies of fantastic creatures. It allows you to fuse creatures, assemble decks, and manage resources such as Matter and Ether to come up with the best strategy.

The game also features a special world-building gameplay mechanic. Inspired by the popular tile-based board game Carcassonne, this system lets you rebuild worlds piece by piece and rewards you with Ether for destroying your opponents’ worlds.
