Opening with limited but welcome character customisation, your mercenary has a choice of three options for age, hairstyle, hair and skin colour. A Bloody CrusadeĪs is expected from Metroidvanias, the gameplay is definitely Elderand ’s strong suit. Using your skills and the weapons you source along the way, you must battle your way through an army of grotesque creatures and put an end to Sserthis and his zealots.

But your ship is doomed to sink and you have washed ashore with little more than the soaked clothes on your back.

You are an enigmatic mercenary, contracted to stem the tide of evil wrought by the cult of Sserthis. While it doesn’t break new ground in the genre, it follows the formula solidly and ultimately provides an enjoyable experience. Published by Graffiti Games, Elderand by Mantra and Sinergia Games is a pixel-art Metroidvania platformer/RPG that pits you against gruesome Lovecraft-inspired foes and terrifying bosses.

Titles like Blasphemous and Dead Cells brought the brutal challenge of the Souls series to the realm of Metroivania and proved to be quite the hit.
