Elemental: Reforged, the Remastered 4X Strategy RPG is Now Available
Features three campaigns, dynasty system, deep crafting, and hundreds of new quests, characters, and dungeons
A unique mix of 4X Strategy and RPG gameplay is now available as Stardock Entertainment has officially released Elemental: Reforged. To celebrate the release of this passionately crafted and expanded remaster of Stardock’s most ambitious title, players can take advantage of a launch discount for the next two weeks.
Elemental: Reforged is a turn-based strategy game set in an RPG world. Players create their own sovereign hero, establish their civilization, explore a procedurally generated fantasy map, and compete for control of powerful magical shards. Every unit in the game is a unique individual with their own name, stats, equipment, and history. Players can research technology, learn spells, send heroes on quests, craft magical items, and wage war or forge alliances with rival civilizations.
“Elemental: Reforged is the full culmination of Stardock achieving the original vision set out for the Elemental franchise,” said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock. “The original Elemental trilogy was a truly unique strategy gaming experience and this project was a true labor of love where we sought to combine the best elements of those three games, and a lot of great new features we’ve come up with, into one neat package for the fans.”
The first Elemental game, Elemental: War of Magic, released in 2010 featured an ambitious design that envisioned a world in which every character was unique and existed within a living world of varied civilizations competing for domination. Despite praise of its innovative features, the game struggled under the limitations of 32-bit hardware. Two years later, Stardock released a sequel, Elemental: Fallen Enchantress, which streamlined the feature set to fit better in 32-bit memory space. A spin-off game, Elemental: Sorcerer King, was developed that focused heavily on the features that were removed from the original Elemental such as crafting, quests and character progression.
Now, Elemental: Reforged takes a new 64-bit and 3D engine, a remastered set of visuals, features and content of all three games, and collects them all into a brand new package that introduces new content to fully deliver the original vision of Elemental, 16 years after the first game’s release. But it isn’t just the polished returning content that players will have to look forward to. Elemental: Reforged also features a brand new Dynasty System where sovereigns can marry, have children that carry traits of both parents, and forge legacies through multiple generations. Other new features include Mod Support through Steam Workshop, new quests, dungeons, characters and more!
