Elsword is an online action RPG set in a manga-inspired world. Choose a character with a distinct story, play style, and special skills, then fight through side-scrolling stages using attacks and combos.
Take on dungeon runs filled with enemies and bosses, either alone or with a party. The game also offers competitive PvP, including matchmaking and modes for battles of up to eight players.
Level characters, unlock job changes, and develop skills to shape how they play. Customize each character’s build and appearance as you advance through the game.
Supplied reviews often praise the fast, combo-focused combat and the variety of characters, skills, and job paths. Some players also enjoy the visual style and the nostalgia of returning to the game or playing with friends. Others criticize progression and monetization, while a number report trouble connecting to the servers.
