Elder Trial

Elder Trial is a roguelike action game in which you accompany Nuwa through ancient gods’ trial lands to face a returning demon army. You fight monsters, develop skills through upgrades and explore the trials to earn the ancient gods’ inheritance. Nuwa travels with you, offering conversation, healing and guidance; you also encounter bizarre characters and events.

Skill evolution

You can customize how your skills develop rather than following a fixed progression. The game has 18 basic skills, and each has two mythic upgrade paths that can change its attributes and combat role. For example, Dragon Breath can change from a one-directional attack to flames blasting in all directions, while a fireball can become either a rapid-fire attack or a high-damage, wide-area blast.

You can upgrade skills several times, and defeating a boss gives you a chance to choose a mythic upgrade. These choices shape your combat strategy and how you approach challenges. The game includes 36 mythic upgrades.

Trial lands

The adventure spans 7 trial levels, with dozens of unusual events, monsters, amulets and weapons to discover. The abandoned trial lands have hidden dangers, and the story follows Nuwa on a journey to save the world while uncovering the secrets and history of the trials.
