Each player controls a group of champions and units in a fantasy world where they can build an empire, explore the world, engage in trade, or study powerful magic. Eldritch is computer-moderated, and each game is either open-ended, or runs until victory conditions are achieved.

Marching legions rather than powerful mages are the focus of the game.
