About Eternity Warriors 2
In Eternity Warriors 2, players skip forward 100 years since the beginning of the First Demon War. Although Udar was ravaged, the brave efforts of the Eternity Warriors held the demon threat at bay. However, the demons have been consolidating their power in a series of Demon Towers built in locations throughout Northern Udar. Now the descendants of the original Eternity Warriors have been tasked with cleansing these Demon Towers and defeating a demon army even deadlier than their ancestors faced a century ago.
