Beautiful game albeit very short! Great combat! I wish happiness and prosperity to the developers!
A good, simple game that is fine for a single playthrough, provided you buy it on sale. There is nothing new or groundbreaking here, and the experience is quite short. Featuring a pseudo-Bronze Age Hyperborean setting, the entire game is a homage to sword-and-sorcery à la Howard or C. A. Smith, combined with a blue-collar power metal aesthetic. It is simple and doesn't take itself too seriously. Elderborn is to Dark Souls what Howard's "The Tower of the Elephant" is to "The Lord of the Rings" in literature, or Manilla Road to Blind Guardian in music. It's not about intricacies or a face-melting challenge; it's all about the atmosphere.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

[h1]Отличная игра на вечер[/h1] [b]ELDERBORN[/b] — это соулслайк, по геймплею больше напоминающий старый добрый [b]Doom[/b], но с оружием ближнего боя. Игра недолгая, а выбор уровня сложности (что зачастую несвойственно данному жанру) позволяет комфортно себя чувствовать каждому типу игроков. [h1]Сильные стороны ELDERBORN[/h1] Что делает игру достойной внимания? [list] [*][b]ELDERBORN[/b] достаточно динамична, пробегается быстро. Здесь есть множество видов оружия (хотя по геймплею они не слишком разнообразны) и навыков, которые разбавляют рутинную рубку врагов. [b]Саундтрек тоже отличный![/b] [*]Отдельный лайк за возможность скидывать противников в бездну пинком — им можно активно спамить, что сильно облегчает некоторые игровые ситуации [/list] Игра, конечно, однообразна (убей орду, найди ключ, повтори), но надоесть не успевает: локации исследовать интересно, а для некоторых врагов даже приходится запоминать окна для парирования, чтобы быстро от них избавляться. В общем, если есть желание передохнуть от крупных проектов, [b]ELDERBORN[/b] подходит в самый раз.
Awesome game! Great fun for a few bucks. I completely missed this gem when it was released and just discovered by sheer coincidence. Buy it - I want a sequel(or prequel, who cares).
this game is indeed Metal AF, tbh i wasnt expecting much, but this is F*ing awsome, combat is great, level design is surprisingly good, blast of a game, highly recomended!
Weapons are either boring or useless, enemies are improved in the second chapter but design is confusing and ugly. Only first boss fight is fun when games forces you to use parry and timing your attacks. You can also tell the developers got jaded midway through designing the third chapter! There are some fun moment.
TL:DR: It's a mid - okay game, but don't buy at it $15. Also want to call out the devs for saying 8-9 hours of casual content in here. Even in my first play through I beat in 3 hours. 5.5 / 10 — FULL REVIEW: — I bought it on sale at $3 and I was still feeling iffy about refunding. I have 100%'d all achievements in the game in about 14 hours. There is not much content, only 3 chapters that can be beaten in as quick as 1 hour if you know where to go. It did keep me entertained, and I did somewhat enjoy the challenge of beating it as a level 1, no death run. It has an endearing quality of being like those old-school freeware 3D games you'd find Newgrounds or Armor Games. I've had this on my wishlist for a while, as the mix of Elder Scrolls dungeon crawling combined with advanced Dark Souls like mechanics seemed promising, but I finished feeling dissatisfied. On one hand I thought the combat was fun. Especially once you start to use the parry/kick system it's feels great to slay hordes of enemies. Chapter 1 has a nice dungeon design. However, I think the graphics are monotone and lacking, the physics are janky, and the level design of Chapter 2 and 3 felt rushed. Some of the enemies are especially annoying to deal with, such as the flame assassins and army gunners; Any encounter with those enemies is tedious and not fun. The worst sin this game commits is that it feel like it's undercooked. There's some good ingredients in there but for whatever reason the chef didn't prepare them properly and rushed the dish out. Hope the studio can learn and improve for next time. I don't recommend it because I don't think it did what it was going for well enough and it’s waaay overpriced when not on sale.
No, it sucks. It's boring, the combat is easy but tedious because it's as unsatisfying as melee in Skyrim and there's no point in using anything but the hammer
Nifty, short, first-person melee souls-like
