ELEX is an open-world action RPG set on a planet reshaped by a meteor strike, where magic and technology coexist uneasily among competing factions. Players explore a harsh, varied world while choosing alliances that shape the story.

Combat blends melee, ranged, and a jetpack-assisted traversal system, giving movement across its rugged terrain real tactical weight. Faction choices carry lasting consequences, reflecting the game's emphasis on player-driven, morally ambiguous storytelling.
