About 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!

Fun metal murder fling

TbsWoody
Verified purchase
Picked this up in a bundle and wasn't expecting much from it but turns out decapitating undead to a killer soundtrack is really fun! There's a block/parry system which when done right is very satisfying and the enemies are different enough you ha e to learn each of their patterns. Not a particularly long game, got through in a couple of sessions but immediately wanted to play again on a harder difficulty.

This game has a lot of promise, as a first person souls like melee game, but Im not the biggest fan of the music choices and the color scheme. If you come here expecting first person Elden Ring, you will be disappointed
