Mar 19, 2023Elderand is a challenging metroidvania with a great Lovecraftian setting, with a good length campaign that doesn't drag or make you wander around the map so much. With smart enemies and awesome bosses, it's a game that should be on any fan's bucket list.

Feb 28, 2023In another time and place, Elderand would be a game I could easily recommend to anyone. But in a market where we’ve seen the same ideas pop up so often, it just doesn’t really bring anything novel to the table. If you’re okay with that, by all means proceed. It has a few technical issues and the boss battles are a bit limp, but otherwise it’s a very well-rounded take on the genre. On the other hand, those who have slaked their thirst for meandering around a map looking for abilities to help them meander more will probably want to give this one a pass. Decent, but decent only gets you so far these days.

Apr 7, 2023You could call Elderand a safe bet. If you are craving a good quality metroidvania game where you know what to expect, look no further. This is a solid adventure that brings nothing new to the table, but what it does serve, is unmistakably good. Just don’t forget to keep your expectations in check.

Apr 6, 2023Elderand offers what you expect from a metroidvania. It is an addition to the genre offering no more or less of a solid experience.

Feb 16, 2023Elderand is another solid entry in the Metroidvania genre, though it doesn’t push any new boundaries where gameplay is concerned. It does manage to stand out somewhat thanks to its strong enemy design and worldbuilding, as well as a good soundtrack. For a debut game, it’s impressive to see something as well realised as this, but there's precious little here you haven't seen elsewhere in this crowded genre. Perhaps it needs a second entry to fully live up to its potential.

Jun 7, 2023One of the best Metroidvania game I've ever played! Game design similar to Skyrim but as a Platform game.
