At first glance, Etherlords II looks pretty much like an RPG title, but take a few moments to play and you’ll soon discover an absorbing turn based strategy game similar to Magic: The Gathering.

Set in the world of Ether, Etherlords places you in the role of a single hero from one of four races. Much of your time is spent travelling around an RPG style map where you can collect resources such as ether which is the life source of everything in the Etherlords world and is required if you are to cast spells during the games duelling sequences.
