Role-playing (RPG)Adventure

Fantasy · Open World · Sci-Fi

Eschewing hand-holding, this open-world RPG from Piranha Bytes throws you headfirst into the harsh world of Magalan, where you must define your place between warring factions. Its unforgiving difficulty and freedom to explore are its greatest strengths, allowing for emergent storytelling as you stumble into encounters and navigate its intricate quest web. The janky combat and clunky animations are a hurdle, but the unique blend of sci-fi and fantasy, coupled with meaningful player choice, has left a lasting impression on those who dared to persevere.

About Elex

View Game Details
Being raised as an Alb and fed pure Elex to strengthen your body and to be free from emotion, you lived in a world of cold logic and military discipline. Set to rise through the ranks, a scourge to your enemies, your destiny seemed sure. Now, as the smoke rises over the wreckage of your glider in the mountains of Edan, you are trapped far from Xacor. With no access to pure Elex, you are experiencing emotions for the first time in your life. Stranded amongst your enemies, outcast from your people, you must find a new course, you must decide how your life can decide the fate of the world.
