Legends of Aethereus is a cooperative and entertaining multiplayer arcade RPG game. The creators of the title, the Swedish ThreeGates studio, refer to the classics of hack'n'slash games, cutting themselves off from the simplifications that are becoming more and more common in modern games.

Planet Aethereus is an ancient and mysterious world, full of majestic forests, foggy swamps, deep caves and ancient ruins. Destroyed by three cosmic cataclysms, it slowly rises from chaos. Legends say that there are seven mysterious relics that will give unlimited power to the daredevil who can find them. No wonder that our hero, a resident of a city-state called Nexus, considered the last bastion of freedom and hope for the planet, decides to set out in search of legendary artifacts. On his way will be controlled by shamans from Ghalii hordes of the Khagal tribes, and the forces of the Venatan Empire, commanded by the ruthless General Zhorgal.
