Playtonic Friends released a new trailer for the rogue-lite action game Elsie from developer Knight Shift Games. The trailer confirms that Elsie will be released on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch alongside the Summer 2024 PC via Steam release. However, the team didn’t share a release date, which we’re all waiting for.
In Elsie, players embark on a riveting journey on the planet Ekis, a world teeming with scientific wonders yet plagued by rampant natural disasters. The game begins with Dr. Grey, a brilliant scientist who previously crafted “The Guardians,” a team of high-tech androids designed to thwart these cataclysms. However, when these androids mysteriously vanish, leaving Ekis exposed to both natural and mechanical threats, Dr. Grey creates Elsie, an advanced android with unmatched capabilities.
As Elsie, players will navigate through the chaotic beauty of Ekis, showcased in vibrant, neon-drenched biomes. Each level is procedurally generated, ensuring a unique experience with every playthrough. Players will engage in “Bullet Hell Ballet” where they must dash, dive, and shoot through hordes of dynamic enemies while mastering precision parrying. The game introduces roguelike elements, where death is a mere hiccup in the persistent quest for victory. Upgrade and customize your character with a plethora of strategic choices that affect gameplay, from augments to weapons. Engage in epic boss battles against biome Guardians and an army of rogue robots, employing both ranged and melee combat tactics.
