Hyperstrange have released the Boomercore update for their first-person hack and slash action game, Elderborn.
The Boomercore update adds four retro-inspired rendering modes and an in-game jukebox. These rendering modes are designed to emulate ’90s PC games in various ways, including lower resolution models, and screen effects meant to replicate a CRT monitor. The update also adds some performance enhancements and other minor bug fixes.
You can read more about the update here, and find the Boomercore Update trailer below.
You can find the rundown (via Steam) below:
ELDERBORN is a Metal Action Fantasy Slasher with brütal FPP melee combat and souls-like/RPG character progression. In the times of legend, the barbarian tribes need a new dark messiah. The player becomes a merciless slayer who will uncover ancient secrets in the city of doom, and forge their own destiny. This ambitious indie game, five years in the making, combines old-school single-player feel, a classic heroic story, and modern level of skill-based challenge. All this and more creates an action-packed, lore-filled, engaging adventure that will last 8-10 hours in a single play-through. Prepare for:
- Skill-based, souls-like melee combat in first person perspective, complete with 11 varied weapons to master
- Character progression and skill system that allows you to play the game in your very own way
- A hand-crafted, mysterious, and dangerous world to explore – catacombs, ancient, monolithic city, and more
- A large selection of enemies, each with their own fighting style, tricks, strengths, and weaknesses
- An epic and somewhat exotic original heavy metal soundtrack with an occasional electronic beat
- An unapologetic tribute to Robert E. Howard-esque heroic fantasy and the awesome pop-culture of the 80’s and 90’s
- New Game + mode!
Get barbaric!
