Steam Co-Op Survival Game Trailer and Elysium game details

Elysium is pitched as a cooperative open-world survival adventure game set in the ruins of a futuristic world filled with ancient machinery but overrun by corrupted, mutated life forms. Players must scavenge for resources while exploring the remains of a fallen utopia, all while battling mechanical monsters that try to stop their rebuilding efforts. In order to fully restore everything to its former glory, players will need to re-energize old towers and transit lines, with each activation revealing new paths, more resources, and hints of the intelligence still lurking within the ruins. Similar to the enemies in Horizon games, Elysium features damaged animal guardians, some mechanical and others altered by radiation. To defeat these beasts, players will need to study their behavior and patterns and take them down using crafted equipment and scrapped firepower.

In addition to exploration and combat, Elysium features an extensive crafting mechanic, similar to the game v Forest. Players choose a location to begin building their base, using wood, stone, and ore to upgrade and expand that shelter as they progress. Better tools and weapons can also be crafted, though players will want to be careful about managing their resources. Solo players will want to prioritize their needs, while those who choose to enjoy the online co-op mode for up to 4 players can share materials and tackle bigger challenges together. Whether you go it alone or gather a group of survivors, Elysium challenges players to uncover the truth about the devastation of an ancient mechanical world, with the first taste of exploring this new realm now available in a free demo on Steam.
