Dodging fireballs thrown by a massive dragon-like drake, I shot arrows back with precision. I managed to evade the fiery projectiles entirely, but they weren’t as kind to the wooden scaffolding supporting me. In no time, it was engulfed in flames and beginning to crumble, leaving me precariously high above ground. Thinking quickly, I leaped to a safe spot and, with a flick of magical prowess, ripped a chunk of burning wood from the structure and hurled it right back at the beast. The satisfaction of seeing it fall, defeated, was immense. Yet, just as I basked in my triumph, I stumbled over debris that had come to rest on the platform. My character’s physics faltered, leading to an awkward tumble from the tower, leaving me dazed but still standing. It’s just another unpredictable, thrilling day in Eternal Strands, a unique blend of occasionally glitchy yet thoroughly enjoyable action-adventure RPG. – Zack Zwiezen
