The Elementum
SteamThe Elementum combines 2.5D Metroidvania exploration with combo-based spell combat.
As you push through the ruins of a lost civilization, learn new abilities, open up locked paths on the map, and shape your enemies with elemental reactions.
But what truly sets The Elementum apart is this:
NO SINGLE BUTTON. COMBOS ONLY. Instead of the classic “one button = one skill” system, you cast spells by inputting combos. Complete the right sequence while moving, and use the right spell at the right moment.
It may look hard to learn… until it clicks. Then every combo, every correct input, every reaction becomes one thing: a signature that proves your mastery.
3 ELEMENTS, ENDLESS TACTICS: WATER • AIR • FIRE As a mage, you wield Water, Air, and Fire. By applying elements in different combinations, you create elemental reactions and control the battlefield tactically:
Thanks to these reactions, there’s no single “right” answer in every encounter: choose the correct reaction for the situation, exploit enemy weaknesses, and take control.
ABILITIES AREN’T JUST FOR COMBAT Spells and movement abilities aren’t only for defeating enemies—they’re also used for exploration. As you gain new powers, new paths open up, hidden areas emerge, and the world expands step by step.
BUILD YOUR OWN PLAYSTYLE WITH STATS & GEAR The Elementum features a stat system. Strengthen your character with gear and customize your playstyle.
For example, if you love using Fire, you can boost your damage with Fire-focused equipment and create your own build. This creates a personalized experience instead of a one-size-fits-all playstyle.
A BIG WORLD, DIFFERENT BIOMES, DIFFERENT ENEMIES A large world with maps set across different biomes is planned. You’ll also face a variety of enemies resistant to certain elements or reactions—meaning you’ll constantly develop new strategies in battle.
Tactical combat powered by combo-based spellcasting and elemental reactions. Explore, grow stronger, and unlock sealed-off areas.
The Elementum aims to deliver a Metroidvania experience blended with combo-based action—bringing together reflexes, reasoning, and deliberate build planning. Decipher the language of the elements, collect scrolls, craft your build, and uncover the secret of the lost civilization.
