The Clerics are religious yet rely on machines to support dwindling numbers. The Albs pursue technological progress but are now seeking “balance” between emotion and science after their failures in early history. The Berserkers respect nature and reject technology while reveling in mana. Morkons are primitive, zealot-like and embrace death. The initial hours have you setting up your “6th power” to rival the 5 factions scattered across the land, simultaneously meeting each faction and learning their quirks. This sets up a nice way to explain away the “you’re now super underpowered and pathetic at the start of a sequel when you were a God in the previous game”, while also setting the scene of a fractured world crippled by conflict and warring ideology. Our nomad hero awakes to the destruction of his quaint little hut and a nasty oozing bite from said alien force.
Moreover, the people of the land have failed to heed the dire apocalyptic warnings you spread about an impending alien threat. Years have passed since your heroic deeds and the destroyed world around you has forgotten your actions. You are commander Jax, famed hero for defeating the Hybrid in years past and rescuing Magalan from the brink of destruction. If you’re a newcomer like myself however, the multitude of issues you’ll face trying to have fun in Magalan will be too much to overcome. I imagine if you’re one of the supporters of the original, this new installment will provide everything you’re looking for (including glaring flaws which fans of less polished titles come to love). Well, I need wonder no more.Įlex II isn’t a bad game, but it isn’t especially good either. I’d always wondered to myself whether Elex would be in my sphere of esteem. It had lukewarm to polarizing reception, but was gleefully accepted more by players than critics. The original Elex, released back in 2017, was a title I’d had my eye on in multiple sales but never quite pulled the trigger on playing for myself. Unlike the warmongering success figure of the Argead dynasty however, Elex II doesn’t really live up to the title of great by any stretch. It’s also a variant form of Alex, like a certain Alexander The Great. Merging sci-fi with fantasy, can the sequel to the 2017 original win over it’s original detractors? The Finger Guns review.īefore starting this review, I thought I’d share what the meaning behind Elex is – a name for boys of Greek derivation, which means “man’s defender, warrior”. Merging sci-fi with fantasy, can the sequel to the 2017 original win over it's original detractors? The Finger Guns review.
