ELDERBORN

About This Game

ELDERBORN is a Metal Action Fantasy Slasher with brütal FPP melee combat and souls-like/RPG character progression. In the times of legend, the barbarian tribes need a new dark messiah. The player becomes a merciless slayer who will uncover ancient secrets in the city of doom, and forge their own destiny. This ambitious indie game, five years in the making, combines old-school single-player feel, a classic heroic story, and modern level of skill-based challenge. All this and more creates an action-packed, lore-filled, engaging adventure that will last 8-10 hours in a single play-through. Prepare for:

• Skill-based, souls-like melee combat in first person perspective, complete with 11 varied weapons to master
• Character progression and skill system that allows you to play the game in your very own way
• A hand-crafted, mysterious, and dangerous world to explore – catacombs, ancient, monolithic city, and more
• A large selection of enemies, each with their own fighting style, tricks, strengths, and weaknesses
• An epic and somewhat exotic original heavy metal soundtrack with an occasional electronic beat
• An unapologetic tribute to Robert E. Howard-esque heroic fantasy and the awesome pop-culture of the 80’s and 90’s
• New Game + mode!

Get barbaric!

Reviews

“One of the best games I played in 2020, […] First-person melee games aren’t that common and the good ones are even less so. […] Money well spent.”

“Fighting in Elderborn is splendid. It’s mostly because you’re mobile. […] Top stabbing. Good kicking. More like this please.”
