Publisher Cronos Interactive and developer Mantis Games have revealed today more details about their Virtual Reality Greek mythology opus, Journey For Elysium, in a brand new gameplay trailer.
"Journey for Elysium is the debut title from Mantis Games. It's an immersive story-driven title guiding you through your initial steps into the afterlife. After an unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign." Jay @ Thumb Culture
TGG says: Overall this game is a huge step in the right direction for VR, and in our eyes is a must-play for any VR gamer who enjoys a story-driven puzzle adventure. Unfortunately, it is not great for those with motion sickness and this will play a big part in whether this title is for everybody. Slight graphical bugs here and there made some of the transitions uncomfortable, but the use of the hero’s equipment with fluid movements and interactions were implemented perfectly. The visuals are top-notch, the audio and narrative fit the game perfectly, and altogether really bring the player into this beautifully crafted world.
The story could have been slightly longer, the path was too linear and the puzzles were oversimplified; but as a whole, all were used within the title very well. With only a few flaws to the game, I believe it is truly deserved of its overall score compared to other titles within the VR market of a similar genre and style. I look forward to seeing what else comes from this company in the future.
Interesting to read this reviewed by someone who's seen the various stages the game went through ^^
Journey for Elysium is a story-driven VR game that will immerse you in a fictional setting inspired by Ancient Mythology.
Really looking forward to seeing the full game released. I'm a big fan of the aesthetic
