'Elderborn' Comes to Steam Early Access Next Week - Trailer

by Rainier on Oct. 4, 2018 @ 1:53 p.m. PDT

Elderborn is a skill-based slasher infused with ancient heavy metal melee combat where you slice your way through an adventure inspired by the cult classics of the genre.

Imagine a dungeon, a dungeon full of evil and corruption that needs to be put down back to sleep. A mysterious ancient ruin full of deadly traps, vicious monsters, and omnipresent death. Now visualize yourself - you're a warrior, you're huge, and you certainly know how to fight.

Ready to take on the challenge that will bring back your best memories of heroic fantasy classics? Well, in that case - welcome to Elderborn.

Old-school fans will be able to slice their way through an adventure inspired by the cult classics of the FPP genre on October 11th through Steam Early Access.

Early Access adopters will play the role of a warrior (that certainly knows how to fight), and will relive the old-school feeling of a game that doesn’t hold their hand. They’ll fight for their lives in a dungeon full of evil and corruption, a mysterious ancient ruin full of deadly traps, vicious monsters, and omnipresent death.

Players will love Elderborn if:

  • they’re suckers for skill-based melee combat and subscribers of the GIT GUD philosophy of gaming
  • they’re sick of procedurally-generated content and for a change they’d like to explore extensive, hand-designed, devious dungeons
  • they feel that ending a life of an enemy with a well-placed kick is something that’s been missing from their life
  • they always wanted to find out how DOOM would feel if it had swords and a warhammer instead of guns
  • they miss the old-school feel of a game that does not hold their hand
  • they pray at the altars of Dio, Lemmy and other mighty Gods of Metal
