ELEX Steam Account
ELEX is a game from developers of Gothic and Risen series, and hails back to the studios' glory days with a fresh setting, and giant playable world. You can pick faction, learn the secrets of magic and technology, hunt monsters, and find a way to break the whole world.
The power
The world of Magalan was developing nicely, until a sudden meteor strike brought everything to a halt. However, despite the obvious setback, the tribes of Magalan managed to make the better of it, thanks to the mysterious element which arrived with the calamity. It is rare, however, and closely guarded by those who have access to it. Elex has incredible power output, but it also influenced the minds and bodies of those who would use it, and only the stronger and most ingenious can handle it.
The factions
The eponymous resource allowed factions to diversify. The Berserkers harnessed it to fuel their magic, and have returned to the old ways of sword and spell. They commune with nature and do their best to revitalize the world. The Clerics use it to power their weaponry and incredible technology. Their fanatical devotion to god Calaan is one of their chief motivations, and they prohibit the consumption of Elex in any way. The Outlaws juice themselves up on Elex-based stimulants and use vicious improvised weaponry. Living on the permanent edge, they are a gang of wild cards.And then there are the Albs, a ruthlessly logical military power striving to drive every other faction into extinction, and being rather good at it. They use Elex to remove all emotions from their minds.You need to join one of them to fulfil your goals, whatever you consider them to be. Can you make the choice?
