The game

20 Forms to play your way.

The Only Eye is an action roguelite where each Form works like a different character class. Some fight up close, while others attack from a distance, use magic, or have mechanics of their own.

As you play, you find relics, improve your attributes, and create different ability combinations. New Forms, systems, and permanent upgrades unlock as you progress.

Even after you finish the campaign, a new progression system is waiting for you.

Every Form plays differently. You decide how to combine what you find along the way.

Forms

20 playable Forms, each with its own style.

Forms are the playable classes in The Only Eye. Each has its own attacks, abilities, range, and mechanics, completely changing how you play.

Each Form also has a Mastery, a specialisation that lets you explore a new version of its playstyle.

Masteries

Every Form has a Mastery.

Each of the 20 Forms has a Mastery, a specialisation that offers a different take on its playstyle. It lets you explore the Form's mechanics in greater depth and try different ways to play.

Combinations

Create different combinations every time you play.

As you play, you find relics and upgrades that increase your attributes or change how your abilities work.

Imprint Fusion takes this further: it lets you combine the active ability of one Form with the passive ability of another.

There are many possible combinations, and figuring out which combinations work best is part of the strategy.

Progression

Two progression trees.

During the campaign, the Iris Tree provides permanent upgrades that stay with you every time you play.

Once you reach the post-campaign content, the Iris Constellation unlocks a separate progression system with new paths, specialisations, and choices that can bring both advantages and disadvantages.

Campaigns

Two campaigns with different challenges.

The main campaign introduces the world, bosses, and original progression of The Only Eye.

After that, the Reverberated Campaign lets you take on the journey again at a higher difficulty, with special enemies, new boss phases, and resistances that call for new strategies.

Post-campaign

The game continues after the campaign.

After completing the campaigns, you unlock O Grande Olhar, a new stage of progression for players who want to keep developing their characters and face greater challenges.

There, you enter Echoes, take on increasingly difficult maps, encounter new modifiers, and follow a progression path that is separate from the campaign.

O Grande Olhar: Echoes

Every map can change the challenge.

Echoes are the maps in O Grande Olhar. Each one has a region, an objective, a boss, a threat level, and its own rewards.

They can also gain modifiers that increase the number of enemies, change the map's conditions, or improve the available rewards.

Greater challenges can bring greater rewards.

Final bosses

Five major bosses await at the end of the progression.

The greatest challenges in O Grande Olhar are five special bosses designed to test the ability combinations you use and the progress you have made throughout the game.
