Elemates

Elemates follows Mayha, a young woman who breaks with her tribe’s traditions and takes her brother’s place in a mystical trial set by their god, Quetzal. She meets Xol, the banished god of death, who wants to escape his prison. Mayha wants to prove her worth to her tribe, so the two work together to complete the trial and face a wicked god. Along the way, they become friends and teammates.

Work together

Elemates is a twin-stick shooter in which Mayha and Xol are linked by a magical glove called the Band of Humility. The glove always points at Xol, so shots fired from it hit him: each shot empowers his abilities. You need to keep track of the characters’ positions as you fight enemies and solve temple puzzles that depend on positioning and timing.

Use the elements

Fire, Earth and Lightning each have distinct mechanics that let you destroy walls, block projectiles and teleport across chasms. To use an element’s ultimate ability, both Xol and the Band of Humility need to be charged. Hitting Xol charges him, while hitting enemies charges the Band.

Explore Quetzal’s temple

You make your way through the ancient temple toward the top of the pyramid, solving puzzles, dodging traps and fighting stone guardians. The journey crosses several biomes as the old god’s magic grows stronger: freezing water, arid steppes, a twilight jungle and the fire of the mountain.
