Xbox Gets A New ‘Zelda-Like’ As Elementallis Brings Its Retro-Style Adventure To XB1 & Series X|S
Elementallis, a Zelda-inspired top-down action-adventure game developed by Iván Ruiz Lozano, has officially launched across multiple gaming platforms including Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. The title’s path to release was marked by exceptional crowdfunding success—its Kickstarter campaign achieved full funding within 24 hours and ultimately raised five times its initial funding goal.
Gameplay emphasizes classic action-adventure mechanics reminiscent of Game Boy-era Legend of Zelda titles, with an emphasis on exploration and environmental puzzle-solving. Players harness and master elemental powers as core mechanics to defeat enemies, navigate challenging puzzles, and explore ancient temples throughout a vast game world.
Elementallis launched at a price of £12.74 (approximately $15.29), featuring an introductory two-week discount for early adopters. This pricing strategy positions the title as an accessible indie offering for players seeking retro-style adventure experiences on modern console hardware.
The release reinforces Xbox’s ongoing commitment to supporting independent developers. Elementallis exemplifies the commercial viability of crowdfunded indie projects, demonstrating continued player appetite for classic-inspired adventure games on contemporary platforms.
