What is Elden Ring Demake

The Elden Ring Demake is a fan-made game for Game Boy. It is a retro 8-bit version of Elden Ring. The game is built by Shintendo who is a developer and streamer. Shintendo created Elden Ring using GB Studio 3.0, a popular retro game creation tool that works with Game Boy and Analogue Pocket devices.

Shintendo has recreated Elden Ring’s iconic main theme in classic Game Boy style for the demake’s title screen, but he notes that it’s difficult to implement sound in GB Studio 3.0, but he would like to add more in the future.

There are a lot of familiar places and see sights and bosses from the FromSoftware RPG. The Elden Ring demake also has a rolling mechanic, which is by far the best part. On a retro console, players can kill monsters and die a million times, just like in the original game. As a result, this game is basically Elden Ring on a smaller scale, and any retro gaming fan would enjoy playing it.

How to play Elden Ring Demake?

You can play this game even on your browser. In addition to that, you can play it on emulators or even on real retro hardware. Shintendo claims in the game’s FAQ section that they did not create the entire game and instead chose to recreate Limgrave because he need to find an actual job instead of working on this game. He said that he would like to expand the game in the future, but there are no guarantees.

In this game, all players can explore, hit, roll, and interact with enemies and NPCs. It might be enough to satisfy the needs of any die-hard Game Boy or Elden Ring fan. The Tree Sentinel makes an impression as well, proving to be a formidable enemy as you learn the controls. Top-down exploration and 2D platforming alternate in the game, with the 2D Margit fight proving to be quite difficult. Remember to choose “new game” the first time you play the game, as each Site Of Grace has the ability to save.
