About the Game



Eidolon: Fate of Fools is a mystical arena shooter inspired by Major Arcana tarot cards. Indulge your fate by collecting cards within the arenas and by looting defeated foes. Dominate the lobby by cleverly utilizing both the Upright and Inverted abilities of each card. Upright abilities often resemble traditional arena shooter weapons, while Inverted abilities can offer unique movement tech or provide a tactical edge: at the cost of discarding that card. Master these arcane powers as you fight to prove your divinity and achieve apotheosis.

  • Fill any match with skilled bots or join your friends over LAN and Steam lobbies.
  • Master 13 Major Arcana tarot cards each with two abilities: Upright and Inverted.
  • Battle within 4 hand-crafted arenas or visit the firing range to hone your skills.
  • Experience free-for-all with a twist: 2 legendary Power Weapons may alter your fate.
  • Enjoy 11 minutes of epic menu music featuring themes for each of the Major Arcana.
