About The Isle of Elanor
The Isle of Elanor is an open-ended role playing game. It features real-time combat, a strong focus on player choice, and a High Fantasy narrative. The game borrows mechanics from Caves of Qud, Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Stardew Valley.
You wash ashore on The Isle of Elanor, the last bastion of humanity remaining in the world. You retain only fragments of your memory – your origins are a mystery. The people of the isle are puzzled by your inexplicable arrival.
The situation on the island is grim: many people are poor, destitute, and in some cases close to starving. There's social strife and division. You're given a small plot of land. Can you help humanity survive? Alternately, you don't have to play the "good guy". You will be given the choice to side with the forces on the island who wish to profit from humanity's demise.

- At the highest difficulty level, the game is meant to be challenging. If you're not careful, you will starve.
- Select skills and attributes to determine your build: a tank, melee fighter, or a ranged attacker? Or choose a build that doesn't specialize in combat.
- The Isle of Elanor is a game about player choice. What type of home to build? Who to befriend or who to make an enemy of?
- Set in an imaginary period of the Earth's past, it's a world that borrows elements from both Midgard and Middle Earth. The peoples of Middle Earth (humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, etc) appear in the game.
- Complex combat mechanics featuring skills (magic) and the use of a shield.
- This is more than a farming, fishing, and mining game. In fact, your home isn't necessarily a farm. You can manufacture pottery, furniture or craft weapons and armor.
- Become a part of the community. Give food and items to needy townspeople. Watch the townspeople prosper, or decline, along with the home you build. You will face the consequences of your actions.
- Deep branching dialog options. Learn about the people and the history of the island.
- Features a realistic geology model. Stone occurs in sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic layers. Some types of stone, ore, and jewels are available to mine only in certain layers.
- Just a few of the types of stone: Bauxite, Cobalite, Granite, Gypsum, and Olivine. When you craft an item out of stone, the item retains the properties (color, weight, value) from the stone. The same mechanic applies to items crafted from wood.

Players agree the game is an unpolished early access title with significant technical issues including crashes and bugs, along with poor guidance through nonexistent tutorials and unclear objectives that make navigation confusing. While some appreciate the Stardew Valley-inspired premise and graphics, most feel the game launched too early and needs substantial work before being worth the current price, though a few remain cautiously optimistic about the developer's responsiveness to fixes.
Other than being a blatant copy and paste from Stardew Valley, there are glitches and crashes galore all within the first 10 minutes. This should not be available on EA. I will be refunding this and highly caution anyone else if they think to buy it, think again!61 found this helpful
This...review comes with a huge caveat admittedly. This game needs polish, it probably should not have gone up on Early Access yet to be blunt. It certainly is not worth the price in it's current state. This is just a relatively positive review, with hope for the future, so take this with a HUGE grain of salt. Thank you. The good: I like the graphics I think the game has promise. I like the dialogue (When I can actually talk to people) The premise to me is interesting I'm a sucker for stardew valley clones The bad: I have no idea where I am going most of the time. The tutorial is nonexistent. There is no map, and I have no idea where to find quest objectives or where to go next. There is not a lot of explanation on the systems in place, but that may come with time. I'm optimistic, maybe naively so though. I do have to admit however in it's current state, it is definitely not for most people. I had to debate if I would tell my friends to buy this game, when I was deciding whether to land in the relatively positive or the relatively negative camp. Unfortunately, I cannot say I would recommend this to friends. I will be keeping it however, and I have hope for the future, time wil…28 found this helpful
This game did not tell me what to do, it didn't explain anything about the world, there were no other characters, I walked across the map and then the game crashed 15 minutes in. 0/10, poor Stardew Valley ripoff.26 found this helpful
Few bugs here and there but Dev is active and things get fixed quick.1 found this helpful
