Elysium Trials

Elysium Trials is a skill-based shooter in which you face trials across different worlds. Defeat unique enemies by using speed, precision and specific combos, then extract essence from the dishonored legions. Your score depends on how you defeat enemies and how quickly you defeat bosses.

Combat and trials

Each enemy has its own attacks and ways to be defeated. For example, you can double-tap to shoot an archer in the body, then finish with a headshot, or time a shot at a Dragon Knight’s open mouth to exploit its weakness and earn bonus essence. Dragons also appear in the trials.

You wield powerful lightning magic, which you can aim at enemies or unleash when it is charged. Using it strategically is especially important in Champion difficulty. The game has three difficulty modes and a tutorial; focusing more on your score makes the challenge harder.

Worlds and enemies

The trials take you to different worlds and feature eight unique enemies, each with distinct attacks and ways to defeat them. Each trial has its own fantasy rock or metal music.

Progression and competition

Your score in each trial unlocks weapon models and skins, which become more elaborate as you progress. You can also unlock Champion difficulty, which adds four stronger, unique enemies and changes the rules for how your lightning weapon charges. Champion has a separate leaderboard bracket from Warrior difficulty.

Unlocking the final trial leads to a challenging battle. Leaderboards track scores using a scoring system that helps you decide whether to restart a trial or continue toward a new high score.
