Science-Fiction Weekly – Watch Us Play The Opening Moments Of Elex
Two hours. That's how much time I wasted trying to write up a brief summary of Elex. As I read over my work, new paragraphs and sections were added. I soon reached 2,000 words, and realized that I hadn't even communicated how the game worked yet. Long story short, Elex is a huge mess of a game, blending science-fiction and fantasy into a strange post-apocalyptic world governed by a rock. Yes, you heard me right. A rock.
Rather than try to explain what that means, why don't you watch the opening of the game to see exactly what madness developer Piranha Bytes has put together. I grabbed my friend Kyle Hilliard (who was the only person here early in the morning) to give his two cents on this oddball RPG. We do a terrible job of describing the game, but this glimpse does show you how the adventure unfolds, and how fantasy, sci-fi, and post-apocalyptic themes can all live together.
I'm intrigued by this game. It also scares the crap out of me. Let me know what you think of our playthrough (and the game) in the comments section below.
