Key Features of Elden Ring
Elden Ring is an open-world, action role-playing game (RPG) played in a third-person perspective. Players create their characters and experiment with various weapons and magical abilities to form their playstyle.
Open-World: World Map
While an open-world feature does not sound unique, Elden Ring features a map where players can easily navigate the open world. With the help of the map, you can view your current location, mark locations, unlock checkpoints known as Sites of Lost Grace, and fast travel around the map within the unlocked checkpoints.
Enhanced Jumping Ability
An increase in jumping ability should allow players to access otherwise unreachable sites.
Easier Healing
In Elden Ring, players don’t have to go to Sites of Grace to replenish their health. Defeating enemies allows players to refill their flask to heal from sustained damages.
Mounted Combat
Enables players to fight opponents on horseback. So take your might steed and charge at your enemies.
Multiplayer Option
