Games like Eternal Return

Steam reviews

What players say

Players who enjoy it praise its unique mix of MOBA combat, battle royale and crafting, but a thin European and North American player base makes queues long and matches uneven.

Most reviewers recommend Eternal Return, and the praise centres on how it blends MOBA fights with battle royale looting and crafting, so every match plays out differently. Many players like the large cast of characters with distinct kits and the anime art. Players who return often describe the progression as rewarding once the early build system is understood. The complaints are consistent: many players outside Korea and Asia report queue times of many minutes or more, bot-filled normal games, and unbalanced matches. Some players report disconnections, loading problems and performance issues on older hardware. A smaller group criticises the monetisation, including expensive skin bundles and battle passes, and a few dislike the steep learning curve and the fact that the UI is cluttered. Some reviewers cite a support decision on a ban as unfair. The reviews do not describe any sharp change in opinion.

Who it suits

Players who like complex, skill-based MOBA fights, looting and crafting, and who can find enough players in their region or have friends to play with.

Who should skip it

Players who want quick matches without long queues, or who dislike high monetisation and a steep learning curve, should skip it, especially outside Asia.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours mostly stress the matchmaking and balance issues in their region, while newer players focus on how confusing the early game is.
