The demo for Elta: Defy All Gods presents a 3D metroidvania that evokes the design philosophy of the PlayStation 3 era. According to 3DJuegos, the title relies more on developer willpower than vast resources, resulting in a project that feels like a throwback to older gaming generations.
Players control Victus, a martial artist monk tasked with raising a dragon named Eltaliel. The gameplay features a 3D map and scanning mechanics reminiscent of Metroid Prime. Combat functions as a brawler, utilizing light and heavy attacks, dodges, and a grappling hook to manipulate enemy shields or positioning.
The reviewer notes that while the watercolor-inspired art style provides unique visual power, the game suffers from technical limitations. Specifically, the author criticizes the presence of loading screens after saving in 2026 and notes that enemy attack patterns lack clarity. Furthermore, the combat currently lacks sufficient difficulty to necessitate the full use of available mechanics.
Despite these flaws, the reviewer finds the experience compelling. While not the best in its genre, the game succeeds in its core loops of exploration and combat, capturing a primitive, focused design style that feels distinct from modern trends.
