For those of you who have had it up to here with Elden Ring’s high graphical fidelity and crisp color palette, good news: There’s now a fan-made demake version that dials back the visuals by several decades.
Created by Shintendo, the Elden Ring demake looks like a Game Boy era title, and draws plenty of inspiration from The Legend of Zelda title that appeared on that handheld console. You won’t find any three-dimensional monsters attacking your Tarnished warrior here or any lands beyond Limgrave and its deadly destinations, as the project has simpler and more retro graphics that fit in with its demake theme.
