About this game

Become the hero of an epic quest in Elderand, a metroidvania that will test your will and skill. Heads will literally roll in this gruesome, retro-inspired action platformer, where only the strong will survive in brutal, skill-based combat against terrifying creatures.

Through the darkness and madness, promised glory awaits.
Wield a variety of killing instruments and abilities to test your metal against towering, bone-chilling bosses. Explore a twisted Lovecraftian world shrouded in darkness and madness. RPG elements allow you to customize your battle experience to your liking, from your character’s appearance to skills, stats, and weapons. Slay or be slain as you collect glory and treasure in this nightmarish 2D world.

Glory and riches await those who can spill the required blood and guts to collect it.

KEY FEATURES:
•Wield an arsenal of killing devices, including whips, swords, daggers, axes, bows, and more. From a magical staff that shoots bursts of energy to a giant sword, different weapons have different stats and capabilities, so find the ones that you enjoy battling beasts with the most!
•Satisfying Metroidvania-style exploration meets terrifying Lovecraftian creatures in this detailed hand-drawn pixel world with glorious gothic aesthetics and handcrafted level design.
•RPG elements let you customize your experience to best suit your play style, from your character’s appearance to their skills, stats, and weapons.
Collect loot from exploration and fallen enemies and then use it to upgrade your weapons via crafting.
•Travel to the many corners of this perilous land, such as an inviting village with merchants, a forest, a temple prison, floating islands, a cursed Cathedral, and the hellscape that is Elderand itself.
•More than 60 different enemy types and around a dozen bosses for your slaying pleasure.
•Collect lost letters and other correspondence from the poor souls who came before you to learn more about the darkness taking hold of this grim land.

I've played quite a few metroidvania games and came into this completely blind. After around 5 hours in, I honestly really like it. The story is progressing, the gameplay is easy to pick up, challenging and fun, whilst the variety of enemies is impressive and at times horrific. Very much bloodborne vibes with some of them. Also I love the castlevania homages, especially the score. Only gripe I have is that you can't seem to be able to swap rings or armour around. At least I haven't found out.

This was a hidden gem waiting around the corner it was worth it, bought it last Friday on a whim and it was a good choice, challenging and fun can't this was released 2 years ago, I hope that the devs would continue to support the game, also it would be fun if we could adjust our sensitivity and add a Special attack button on our controls and adjust it according to our preferences cause sometimes the controls are a sometimes a bit unresponsive. overall it was excellent

Seems like an awesome game...But the dpad/joystick and buttons are just way too small. This is a game breaker for me because I can't really play the game without having to repeatedly try the same action over and over. The graphics and music are great and it appears that there is a solid storyline. But I will have to unfortunately uninstall until there is an option to enlarge the dpad/joystick and other buttons.
