- A 2D RPG adventure about questing and getting stronger
- Four classes are divided between hitting with weapons or with spells
- Some classes are riskier and more demanding than others
As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent in various RPGs under my belt, I can confidently say that Elemental 2D has piqued my interest. The 2D art style is reminiscent of some classic games from my youth, and the choice of four classes offers an interesting twist on the traditional RPG formula.
Starting up Elemental 2D, you’re offered several character options and the chance to pick a name for your chosen avatar. Following a brief period with your allocated guide and hunting smaller creatures, you’ll eventually be dispatched to the town where the main storyline and quests await.
Even though you might not initially have top-tier resources, there’s still an expansive journey of heroic accomplishments awaiting you. This brings us to a crucial crossroads: choosing your professional path, or in other words, selecting your character class. Each option can be potent in the right situations, but it’s essential to find the one that suits you best.
How Classes work
Following the arrangement of your character, you’ll then navigate through a brief tutorial which culminates in encountering a Spirit Priest within the town. Given the significance of spirits in this fantasy realm, they will be the ones bestowing your class abilities upon you. You’ll be presented with four distinct classes to select from and elevate yourself to.
The reason you should take this choice seriously is because once you pick a class you’re committed until you reach level 60 when you can revisit the class choices again. Classes are divided into Physical (Warrior and Thief) and Magical (Wizard and Tamer).
1 The Warrior (Balance)
The Warrior is a staple of the RPG class structure so it makes sense that it’d be the first option in the list. It’s understandably the easiest class to take since it’s a physical class that’s designed to thrive in the thick of battle. If you’re very gung-ho and prefer to charge into battle without having to worry about making too many mistakes, this is the class for you. You have a balanced stat loadout that gives you a nice amount of health, defence, and attack power. It may not be the most exciting class, but it lasts longer in battle while continuously landing attacks on nearby enemies.
2 The Thief (Skill)
There’s always that one person who fancies themself as a skilful person overflowing with finesse and that’s why we’ve got the Thief class. This Elemental 2D class is all about speed, being able to move quickly around the battlefield to keep enemies spread out and avoid all sorts of attacks. It gains abilities that allow it to inflict all sorts of poison damage which becomes more and more valuable as you face tougher enemies with greater armor and resistance. It can also use its movements to strike at weak points in enemies to significantly raise its damage output. However, this is a class that requires you to be cautious, pick moments to strike, and take risks that get you close to the action. As a result, there’s a high chance you take big hits which can quickly drain your health.
3 The Wizard (Power and Distance)
This Wizard class goes the same route as the Dungeons & Dragons design, or to put it another way, they are at risk of taking lethal damage from stepping on a sharp twig. This is the weakest class in the entire game and should never be placed anywhere near enemies that can do even a little bit of physical damage. This means you’ll constantly be on the lookout for the best armour and protective accessories just to make you feel a bit safer. That being said, this is a class that can dish up plenty of destructive power both at close and long ranges and in a variety of ways. As long as you keep the Wizard empowered via magic-boosting items, you can be a glass artillery cannon of arcane bombardment.
4 The Tamer (Strategic and Intensive)
Sometimes a lineup is going to have the odd one out and that’s why the Tamer was called into action. To put it one way, this class lets you roleplay as a Pokemon trainer. To put it another, it makes the training that matches harder. The Tamer gains most of its power by spending enough time getting close to animals amid battle in the hopes of taming them. When you’re successful, you can call many creatures to your side to aid you in battle so that you’re never fighting alone and can split the enemy’s focus. The more creatures you have, the more diverse and plentiful your attacks will be, especially against singular targets. Unfortunately, this means that Tamer itself doesn’t bring a lot to the table and requires you to put in a lot of effort to make the most of its skills and abilities. Like the game says, it’s not “relaxing” gameplay.
