Check out more than 15 minutes of playing Elden Ring -apkrig

Already yesterday, developers from FromSoftware, through Bandai Namco, announced that they will have a demonstration of playing Elden Ring for fans on Thursday afternoon. The title expected by all lovers of the soulslike genre finally took off the veil of secrecy and presented itself on the screen for more than 15 minutes. Despite the fact that no pictures from the game have been published yet, let alone live footage, we have already been able to learn a lot about the game from diaries and interviews. But nothing compares to one’s own point of view and at least the mediated experience, on the basis of which the Elden Ring seems to be in great condition. Although in terms of graphics, it remains, including minor shortcomings faithful previous games from FromSoftware, in terms of gameplay – which is especially important for players in this case – everything seems to be fine and fully functional.

The demo begins with a warning that all shots were taken on a PC and do not correspond to what the game will look like at the time of release. However, the structure of the world and game mechanisms, which, for example, follow the example of DarkSouls with a safe place for rest and regeneration, should not change. In The Lands Between, these places are referred to as Site of Grace, and occasionally a beam of light may take off from here, serving as an inconspicuous navigation to where you should move now. They had, but they didn’t have to, which is important to the parties, and no one is said to dictate to players what to do if they don’t want to. However, it is almost certain that the light navigation will lead the protagonist – the Dirty – to something interesting and perhaps dangerous, which is in principle not out of the question. Immediately afterwards, the armored hero jumps into the air and summons a horse, which, however, does not roll over from somewhere. from behind the camera, but it literally materializes from the air under the hero. It is the horse that is intended to explore the open world in which the Elden Ring will take place, and as can be seen soon, you will be able to use it in combat.

With another look at the landscape, finally comes a look at the map. This is a novelty for games from FromSoftware, although it has been talked about in recent months.

Dirty will stand up really well upset and will run a fairly standard duel by soulslike games. Prim play tricks, proper timing and also finger on trigger with health supplement. The effects of the flames are also very nicely processed, with which the ghost tries to attack the hero and thus the behavior of the water, in which the hero wades to the waist. Because it is a prepared presentation with a number of cuts, in the end, of course, the hero manages to defeat the enemy and goes on to meet a friendly NPC, whom they call the Iron Fist. In reality, however, it is an overgrown talking cauldron, which at that time is stuck up to the handrail in the ground and it is up to the hero to free him with a powerful kick. A slight touch of humor is a pleasant refreshment of the otherwise considerably darkened atmosphere, and we hope that there will be more similar moments in the game.

With another look at the landscape, finally comes a look at the map. This is a novelty for games from FromSoftware, although it has been talked about in recent months. Precisely because the world of the Elden Ring is open and easy to walk from place to place, the developers needed to give the players some navigational aid, and why invent bikewhen there is a map. It is also very tasteful – the developers bet on a cartoon style, which can resemble, for example, a map from the Czech Kingdom Come: Deliverance, with the fact that you can place various permanent markers in it so you can better identify where you saw enemies or where they were. raw materials suitable for crafting. Immediately after the demonstration of the map, the developers let the player explore stealth, which will also play an irreplaceable role and allow in the open world to avoid some unnecessary fights. Of course, it will not be possible to avoid them forever, which would not even be desirable. As mentioned earlier, the hero will be able to summon to the fight and help from the fighting spirits, who are also captured in the video and it is a quite strong group, able to attract a bunch of enemies so that you can hit them from a distance with a bow.

Elden Ring also counts on vertical design, but if we looked well, not a single classic ladder was seen in the example. For this purpose, however, it will be possible to use an elementary slingshot, serving as a quick lift to the higher levels of fortresses and other structures. These will be represented in several types and one of the most interesting seem to be dungeons. By no means do they mean stale dungeons full of the undead, but also large fortresses with many approaches and potential rewards. And the battles with the bosses that are starting can undoubtedly be considered as these traditionally through the foggy portal and a short animation. However, it is in these places that the most outdated graphics are most evident, even though we fully respect the information stated in the introduction that we are not following the final product and the visual rendering may change until the release. It will happen on February 25, when Elden Ring will arrive on PC and both generations of PlayStation, resp. Xbox.
