Elsie is a technicolor, hyperkinetic, rogue-like action-platformer filled with procedurally generated levels, an army of robots to blast through, and a wide scope of items and weaponry to make each run as unique as possible. Master countless magitek weapons and abilities in order to survive.

The Guardian’s true power lay in the Arclight Core, an energy source that allowed them to bend the elements to their will. The world rejoiced in a new age of peace and safety, but this peace was short lived - as one day without warning or explanation, the Guardians disappeared.

Winds whipped, seas surged, and a newfound threat quickly emerged as an army of robots laid siege to Dr Grey's home, the city of Neotoño. Amidst the chaos and threat of more disasters, Dr Grey forged one final android...Elsie. Built like none before her, she must find the Guardians and save planet Ekis.

Take on the role of this female robot powerhouse and blast through hordes of robots to reach the guardians and save the day! Get ready to kick butt and protect the planet you call home!

Experience the evolution of classic run and gun gameplay tightly tuned into a bullet hell ballet. Dash, dive and shoot across stages full or dynamic enemies whilst performing perfectly timed precision parrying. With each new run, delve into the ever-shifting domains across Planet Ekis’s gorgeous neon-drenched pixelated biomes. Each environment has its own set of challenges with unique enemies to overcome as you learn attack patterns and weaknesses.

Embrace the chaos of continually changing opportunities, making decisions about character upgrades, skills and weapons that will drastically change the feel of each run. Experiment with different playstyles and create synergies for devastating potential.

Joining Elsie’s battle is Andru, a melee-based character with unique augments, weapons, and abilities that open up a slew of gameplay possibilities.
