Eldoran

About Eldoran

Eldoran is a 2025 PC adventure game from Z-Tech Studio that throws you into a world stitched from two colliding Earths. The setting is a chaotic blend of familiar terrain and alien crystal lifeforms, where surviving the aftermath of a cosmic accident means building bases, scavenging resources, and fending off hostile entities. Single player and co-op modes let you team up to explore open regions riddled with anomalies. Split-screen support adds a local multiplayer twist. The game’s vibe hinges on its mix of base-building and action, with a narrative focused on merging realities.

Gameplay

You start by scavenging materials to construct settlements, which act as hubs for managing survivors and upgrading gear. Exploration feels procedural, with randomized zones hiding tech upgrades and hostile clusters. Combat is real-time, blending melee and ranged weapons against crystal-based enemies. The co-op mode scales difficulty with more players, and split-screen keeps things tight for small groups. Missions involve rescuing civilians and dismantling corrupted structures. Progression revolves around unlocking blueprints for better tools and defences. The open world is large but repetitive without strong landmarks to guide you.

What Players Think

PlayPile community ratings average 4.3/5, with 65% of players logging 40, 50 hours. Completion rates are high at 82%, but only 30% finish all side quests. Most praise the co-op and split-screen modes, which are smooth and responsive. However, 20% of reviews cite clunky AI for NPCs and base-building tools. The game’s “fascination and terror” vibe resonates: 75% report feeling “awe” but 35% also note “frustration” from combat difficulty. Achievement completion is 68%, with 12 major trophies tied to settlement size and boss fights. Critics on Metacritic give it a 78, calling it “a compelling but flawed survival experiment.”

PlayPile's Take

Eldoran is a solid pick for fans of survival-building hybrids like RimWorld or Deep Rock Galactic, especially if you prioritize co-op or split-screen play. At $59.99 (as of 2025 data), it’s moderately priced but doesn’t justify the asking if you dislike repetitive open-world loops. The 45-achievement system is rewarding but grind-heavy. Skip if you want tight design or minimal frustration. It works best in short, focused sessions with friends.

Storyline

It was an era in which the world was shaken by an unprecedented collision. As our Earth and a parallel universe Earth reached exactly the same position in the universe, shocking anomalies emerged on both worlds. The anomalies selectively fused the Earths together, not only annihilating entire regions but also significantly decimating life on both sides. The few survivors found themselves in a world permeated by mysterious energies and vibrant crystal beings. Eldoran, as the locals of the parallel world named it, became a magical place that evoked both fascination and terror.
