About the game
What you do in a play session
Imagine a world where light was silenced by betrayal. On the mystical Island of EOS, what was once a realm of angelic glory has become a dark territory where angels were turned to stone and demons seized control. But the story doesn't end there! Captain Kareem has just achieved the impossible: he has awakened Leanas, a powerful angel, and now carries a sacred mission. With the promise of immortality, he has sworn to free Leanas' siblings and banish the darkness of the abyss forever.
In EOS: Island of Angels, you take on the role of a daring captain commanding a unique crew full of personality. The game is a true engine-building journey, where you must balance managing your vessel with the need to explore the unknown. You will hire an asymmetrical crew, each with their own talents, and sail through perilous seas to find the lost angels. But don't think it's going to be a smooth sail! Demons are lurking, ready to sabotage your ship or attack your crew with all their might.
The real challenge lies in strategic balance. By awakening an angel, you can gain divine blessings that supercharge your gameplay, but if you slip up, demonic chaos can ruin your plans. You'll have to decide whether to focus on upgrading your ship, chasing titles of glory, or fighting directly against the Demon Lords. It is a strategy game where every movement decision and every resource allocation counts to ensure your crew doesn't become just another legend lost in the mists of EOS. Ready your ship, gather your warriors, and come restore the light!
