If you’ve been searching for a retro top down action-RPG with elements reminiscent of the early Legend of Zelda games, then Elysis might be the game you’ve been looking for.

Developed solely by one person, the game strides to provide a satisfying sense of combat and exploration through the add-on system, which will allow the player to modify their weapons in order to fight a wide range of enemies.

There’s currently a demo for Elysis showcasing the core mechanics of the games, with the hopes of creating a full version of the game with more areas, deeper exploration and a more flesh-out story.

The demo features:

• Tutorial dungeon and Temple Dungeon complete with boss fight
• 15 types of weapons / subweapons / equipment
• 23 addons to give your weapons unique properties
• 29 different monsters to test out your weapons on
• Customizable controls and controller support (Only Xbox gamepad tested)

You can find the demo here.
