I never want to play a Cleric in D&D, but 2026’s best RPG stars one for a simple reason: ‘I’m sorry to say they are just overpowered’

Christoffer Bodegård, the creator of the RPG Esoteric Ebb, describes the Cleric class as "overpowered" due to its versatility in gameplay. In the game's early drafts, the Cleric was a central character alongside a goblin companion. Players always embody the Cleric but can explore other D&D classes, with the option to earn specific titles based on their actions, such as a Dick-Ass Rogue for engaging in thievery. Esoteric Ebb emphasizes the interplay between character classes and player choices, challenging traditional notions of heroism and class identity.

The game will include Game Masters who can influence gameplay by commanding enemies or staging ambushes. There are concerns about its free-to-play model potentially involving microtransactions. Details about the release date and platform availability are currently unclear.
