Developed by Chromatic Games · Published by Chromatic Games









In Etheria, you defend Eternia Crystals from the Old Ones' army. Each hero brings distinct abilities and defenses, and you can play alone or team up with up to three other players online.
Prepare for enemy waves by placing defenses such as traps, towers, and barricades, then take part in the battle yourself with weapons and hero abilities. You can switch between heroes during combat to adjust your approach as threats move across the map.
Earn levels and loot as you play, then customize heroes with equipment, Shards, mods, and pets. Different heroes and defenses let you experiment with builds as you take on maps and increasingly difficult challenges.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its blend of tower defense and hands-on combat, the range of heroes and defense combinations, and teaming up with friends. Some also enjoy experimenting with builds and pursuing better loot over long play sessions. Recurring criticisms include slow, repetitive progression, monetization and unlock costs, and unreliable online connections.
