ELEX: Collector's Edition
Oct 17, 2017 9 years ago
Advanced in technology, civilized and with a population of billions, Magellan was a planet looking to the future. Then the meteor hit. Those who survived are now trapped in a battle to survive, a struggle to decide the fate of a planet. At the center of this fight is the element "Elex". A precious, limited resource that arrived with the meteor, Elex can power machines, open the door to magic, or re-sculpt life into new, different forms. But which of these choices should be the future of Magellan? Can technology, or magic save this world? Or will this new power destroy all those left alive amongst the ruins? ELEX is an action, role-playing open world game for PC and Consoles, developed by Piranha Bytes, creators of the award winning Gothic series and is set in a brand new, post-apocalyptic, Science-Fantasy universe where magic meets mechs.

What it’s like
ELEX delivers a visceral, uncompromising action-RPG experience set in the fractured world of Magellan, where the collision of magic and technology defines survival. The core loop revolves around mastering three distinct factions—Techs, Mages, and Berserkers—each offering radically different playstyles that fundamentally alter how you interact with the environment and enemies. Combat is fast-paced, heavy on impact, and demanding, rewarding skillful dodging and strategic resource management over button-mashing. The world is vast and desolate, encouraging solitary exploration through ruined cities and wildlands filled with dangerous fauna. While the narrative provides a solid framework for this sci-fantasy conflict, it takes a backseat to systemic freedom and build variety. The atmosphere is thick with isolation and danger, supported by a gritty art style that emphasizes decay and survival. It is a game defined by its mechanical depth and harsh difficulty curve, offering a raw, unpolished but deeply engaging sandbox for players who prioritize gameplay systems over narrative polish.
