If you want a colourful, gorgeous adventure that brings the vibes of so many other adventure games that came before, but does it in a delicate way, then this new Steam game is for you.
Offering a demo on Steam, Echoes of Elysium is definitely channelling some major inspirations, from The Legend of Zelda to crafting and survival games like Valheim.
Here, you will be exploring the skies in your airship, while scavenging for supplies and materials to keep your ship upgraded.
Echoes of Elysium offers a procedurally generated world bursting with colour - vibrant blues in the sky, lush greens when you land on the ground and set out on foot.
Advert
There’s no denying the Zelda influence here, especially when equipping a glider and soaring out over the land to hunt down prime locations to explore.
The technology, powered by clockwork in an almost Steampunk aesthetic, is appealing because it plays into the lovely, almost cute visual design.
With fully customisable airships, you’ll be able to design your ideal flying base by adapting it constantly, adding new sections, expanding rooms, and buffing your travelling capabilities.
Expect plenty of building and crafting.
This can all be done with friends or family by your side, too, as it offers co-op play from the start.
The Steam store page offers more details on what to expect when playing - “Level up, gain new abilities, and craft new gear to grow even more powerful. Guided by the Goddess Lethe, can you save Elysium from its doom?”
While the demo is relatively short compared to what the full game likely offers, it should give you a good idea of what to expect when the full game launches.
There is no date currently set for release, so you’ll have to add it to your wishlist for updates during development.
