While Jax slowly regains his power and becomes a more viable combatant as he levels up, even at his apex, combat feels sluggish and unrewarding, with stiff animations and a limited moveset.Īdmittedly the ability to mix and match weapons, skills, magical powers, items, ammo types and unarmed combat into a cohesive offence or defence feels awesome, but by the time players have access to enough abilities to make combat rewarding, there will be precious few opportunities to enjoy it. Like all great CRPG of the 1990s, not all of these companions will necessarily be recruitable in a single playthrough, with players being given ample opportunity to drive away companions by their actions and, in a few cases, cause their death, something I will not further elaborate on, as to avoid spoilers.Ĭombat in Elex starts off feeling terrible and only gets a little better before wallowing in mediocrity for the rest of the game. Companions.Įlex offers players the opportunity to recruit up to seven unique companions throughout the course of the game. Players are given a choice to join one of three separate factions, Berserkers, Clerics and Outlaws, with each faction offering players unique abilities, weapons and skills.Ĭhoosing to join a faction is final, and players will want to think long and hard before they make their decision.Įditor’s Comment: While the antagonist Alb faction cannot be joined, players are able to eventually support the Alb separatist movement and gain access to Alb items, weapons and abilities. The overall narrative is nothing groundbreaking playing as a former bad guy who has been given a chance to go straight has been done before and better (Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic) however, there are worse ways to spend 25 hours than helping the galaxies least charismatic protagonist get revenge on those who betrayed him and maybe save the world while doing so. Narrative & Dialogue.Įlex’s narrative is a bit of a mixed bag while certain characters and quest chains are incredibly well written, like in any game of this scope, some content is decidedly lacking and feels like it was created purely to make the massive world map feel less empty. This area is the most foggy out of the three areas and players need to use their mouse to sweep over the sea of clouds to find the needed resources.Ĭotton is available for harvest, which may be processed into canvas for use in structures providing comfort and lift/propulsion needing little to no fuel.Įach allied kingdom in the Shallow Lands provides 1 cotton/day (maximum of 6 cotton/day).Elex is the very definition of Eurojank, and fans of the genre-spanning phenomenon (Eurojank) will definitely want to give it a try. Players should ideally balance their coal demand with coal supply from Charcoal Huts before proceeding to this area, as trees are still readily available for use in Charcoal Huts. Upon approaching the Shallow Lands, the player will be prompted that coal is scarce in this area. It is advised to have either a larger storage of food, or to obtain the Farm blueprint to make food from water which is still easily found in the Hillside.Įach allied kingdom in the Hillside provides 1 ores/day (maximum of 6 ore/day).
The terrain in the Hillside consists of canyons and plateaus which is more difficult to navigate and look for needed resources, especially thistles which are very scarce and limited in amount, about 8-13 food per thistle (except for the northernmost region around the Ancient Ruin).
Ores are available in this area for collection and processing into iron bars needed for the most powerful and expensive propulsion device (Fin). Upon approaching the Hillside the player will be prompted to proceed with caution as food is scarce. The fog of war in the area is minimal and players can easily look for resources far ahead.Įach allied kingdom in the Desert provides 1 tree/hour (maximum of 4 trees/hour).
This is the starting zone where basic resources (such as food, water and coal) are readily available. World Map in Airborne Kingdom including areas of interest Desert The world of Airborne Kingdom is divided into 3 main areas:Įach area has 4 Kingdoms, from which the player has to gain favor and become allies with to complete the tapestry.
