Elderand

Elderand may appeal to those who love the work of H. P. Lovecraft. Since his dark works were inspired by local lore. There is blood and meat in the game. It is a hybrid of a metroidvania and an RPG. The protagonist fights with various creatures, earns experience, grows in levels and pumps up 4 characteristics. These are endurance, wisdom, agility and strength.

While exploring the semi-open world, the character finds various loot. In Elderand, a hero can wear armor, a shield, two rings, a couple types of potions that restore health or mana, two primary weapons and one secondary weapon, as well as consumable items such as a quiver of arrows. A variety of equipment allows you to create builds to suit your fighting style. It can be purchased from friendly NPCs using collected or earned gold.

The combat in the indie project is real-time and skill-dependent. It is on this that the main emphasis is made here. The game requires the user to approach battles wisely and severely punishes for haste or rash actions. During fights with monsters, the character can carry out different types of attacks (the arsenal of movements depends on the specific weapon in the hero’s hands), jump back and jump. When exploring locations, a fighter is able to cling to the rings with a grappling hook-like gadget and swing on them.
