Elderand is a good metroidvania game, and one of the best ones on Android. The pixel-art graphics look vibrant and beautiful, along with a great soundtrack to elevate the battle sequences. Touch controls however, are not very good, and using a gamepad is a serious requirement in this case. With a length of about 12-13 hours, Elderand offers great exploration, good combat and an overall fun and engaging experience. Definitely recommended if you're a fan of the genre.

I like this game a lot so far but my main problem is there is a little bit of lag between the character sprite's movements and when the buttons are tapped in certain areas on mobile. don't know if it's like this on other platforms or not but yeah, it's so much more frustratingly hard to dodge/platform. I'd give 5 stars if this was fixed. also, randomly the pause button won't work and it says UI isn't working. I have to minimize the game and then bring it back in order to pause once every time

I'm surprised why I did not come across this gem earlier. This is a solid Metroidvania game with great pixel art graphics. I'm addicted to it! The controls do take getting used to but once you get the hold of them they work pretty well. I wish the devs add a 30fps cap option though. This game does eat more battery than other games i play. So that's the only minor complaint i have. Rest everything is well done!
