Last Epoch is a hack-and-slash action RPG (ARPG) developed by Eleventh Hour Games. It combines fast-paced combat, deep character building, and a unique time-travel storyline.
🧠 Story (Simple)
The game takes place in the world of Eterra, which is broken across different timelines.
👉 Your goal:
Travel through time to:
- Stop a mysterious force called The Void
- Fix the timeline

Time travel is not just story—it affects locations, enemies, and quests.
🎮 Gameplay

🧬 Classes & Builds
- Start with 5 base classes
