Etherlords is the latest smash hit RPG for the iPhone and iPad, this one being very loosely based off of the old PC RPG by the same name, also by NIVAL. This game has three forms of currency, or "currency" as it were. Ether is the primary one, the one in the blue bottle that's used for almost every purchase in the game. Etherlord Valor, sometimes referred to as Honor, is the one in the green bottle that is more rare and has less uses but is very valuable for enhanced fusions. Matter is used to rebuild the world.
GameGrin's Luke Greenfield writes: "Having seen Etherlords only a month ago at Gamescom and previewing it, I decided I may as well write up about the game in full now that it is fully released. My time with the game at Gamescom was quite short, so I was quite happy to be able to spend more time with it, considering the fact that I enjoyed the experience."
Anthony Morris: "‘Tactical’ video games have been around since the phrase ‘video game’, and over the years the genre has split into many hybrid genres with many styles to suit many gamers. It’s one of those genres that was very distinctive way back when, but could now be slapped on the cover of almost any game. ‘RPG’ is another. In order for a game to be called a game, it must have some amount of competitiveness and decision making; whether a game is ‘tactical’ is all down to the scale of those decisions and the effect it has on the game."
Leo writes for TheGamersHub.net - "Etherlords is a pretty but innately insubstantial game crafted with the explicit purpose of encouraging micro-expenditure."
