Elden Ring Gameplay
Open-World Action RPG
Elden Ring is an Action RPG set in an expansive open-world map. Developed by FromSoftware, Elden Ring plays similarly to games under the Soulsborne/Soulslike category such as the Dark Souls series, Bloodborne, and Sekiro. Elden Ring's gameplay involves roleplaying elements where players create their own character from the ground up. The game's combat involves strategic ranged and melee battles, requiring tactical and methodical strategy. Overall, Elden Ring involves skill-based fighting that has heavy emphasis on learning enemy attack patterns, as well as timing and positioning. In line with this, players can engage in co-op play and PvP combat. Its exploration mechanics is set in an open-world. Across the map, players can complete a myriad of quests and challenges, as well as explore different areas, dungeons, catacombs, and more.
The game allows players to choose from a selection of starting classes, as well as full customize their character's build. The starting classes do not dictate the character's build, instead it provides class-specific weapons and starting stats at the beginning of the game. The playstyles in Elden Ring are determined by the player character's stats. Throughout the game, players encounter different types of enemies, including story bosses and optional bosses, and non-player characters (NPCs). Apart from combat, roleplaying, and exploration, Elden Ring features Crafting mechanics that let players create different types of items, recipes, consumables, and the likes. Collectible items such as key items, crafting items, consumables, and more can be gathered across the map.
