Dec. 2024

For the price of a cup of coffee, you get an absolute banger of a soundtrack AND the dark fantasy love child of DOOM. Not into Souls-likes? Neither am I—but crank it to Hard AF, and it’s pure Doom-style carnage with a sprinkle of Souls flavor. Cheap, brutal, badass.

Dec. 2024

Very satisfying combat! Getting bullet time on a successful parry feels great, and so does launching foes with a heavy swing of the hammer. However, the game is very short. Only took me 5 hours to beat the campaign. Therefore, I'd recommend it if you can get it for $5-10. I wish it was much longer!

ELDERBORN is kinda like Dark Souls and DOOM had a little badass low-poly baby raised by an indie studio that provided metal music and monster energy drinks instead of milk. And it's simple. You charge in with a sword, hacking through enemies like you're auditioning for a Viking metal band, with the combat satisfying enough to be borderline therapeutic. The story? It’s there, but honestly, who cares when you’re too busy cleaving las esqueletos and smashing sh*t? If you’ve ever wanted to feel like the world’s angriest barbarian with a little buzz and a caffeine high, this is a game. 8.5/10 would swing axe again.

Cons: Cartoony, Warcraft-like look Monster design is meh They say its in style of Robert Howard, but I wasn't aware he did shrooms. Its really far from Conan and Kull though. Pros: Its cheap, especially on a sale It goes well when you are drunk or tired and just want to relax and slash monsters Combat is alright, very basic, but solid Kinda nostalgic, reminds of early 2000s games in terms of both game design and model quality Its kinda good for moments when you look at your library and think "I'm tired of all these games, what should I play."

might be the only first person souls game on steam that i am aware of and have played but i decided to try it out since it was dirt cheap for the summer sale. safe to say, it's badass. the combat is fun, the environments are cool, the music is awesome (probably my favorite part), and the combat flows well. it brings plenty of souls aspects together while also seeming to take some inspiration from the doom games in the way that it's layed out, as well as how the enemies attack and what not. the story is ok, nothing too crazy but you can find some lore scattered around that provides a little more depth of what's going on. overall, the bosses were fun and it was a fast paced blast to playthrough and once again, a first person soulslike game which is uncommon and unique. if you're into souls games, this one isn't long and it's unique in the genre. the music is awesome to blast at full volume and overall the game is a gem! recommended, especially on a deep sale.
