ELEX suffers from the usual Piranha Bytes caveats and has been repeatedly criticized for its unresponsive controls, frustrating combat mechanics and flat protagonist.īut what ELEX lacks in, well, most things, makes up with fascinating lore and an intriguing post-apocalyptic world that features a mix of futuristic and medieval locations. To be perfectly clear, ELEX is far from being a perfect game. Each faction has its own views on how or even if ELEX should be used, and it’s up to the player to decide which faction to support. The people who survived the disaster are left to fend for themselves and survive in a seemingly perpetual war between the four major factions.Īt the center of their conflict is an element called ELEX, a limited and precious resource that can be used to power machines give magical powers. The story of ELEX takes place on Magalan, an Earth-like futuristic planet that was reset to a quasi-medieval state after it was struck by a comet. Explore far my friends, but beware the nightmares in the depths. Strategy games are tricky to pull off on a touchscreen, but Overland nails this handily with an addictive turn-based system that brings near-chess levels of thinking to a post-apocalyptic road trip.

There are several ambitions you can strive for, but it soon becomes clear that your primary motivator is only one of the myriad stories you will discover while exploring the depths. You take on the role of a Zee Captain, whose job is to choose your goal in life and make that thing happen.

It is the sequel to the browser-based game, Fallen London, and while some may argue that it isn’t really Post-Apocalyptic, in that the surface world still exists and only London and presumably a good chunk of British people have fallen into the Unterzee, but to me the capital of a nation collapsing into a lightless world beneath the surface of the planet full of nameless horrors and ancient evils is pretty post-apocalyptic.
It was even included in our best of RPGs infographic. Sunless Sea tops my personal chart as one of the best narrative story-driven Role-playing Games of all time.
