Colorful roguelike action-platformer Elsie is getting a physical release. It’s called the Magitek Edition, and you’ll be able to grab it for both PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch starting July 10, 2025. Developed by Knight Shift Games and digitally published by Playtonic Friends, this game is a wild ride filled with levels that are different every time you play, plus tons of weapons to keep you hooked.
Elsie takes you to the planet of Ekis, a place filled with natural beauty and incredible scientific wonders, but one that’s now on the brink of disaster. The story kicks off with a scientist named Dr. Grey. He created high-tech androids called Guardians, powered by something called the Arclight Core, to handle the planet’s wild natural disasters. For a while, they were like superheroes, bringing peace by controlling the elements.
But then, without any warning, the Guardians just vanished. That’s where Elsie comes in. She’s a one-of-a-kind android built for one mission: track down the missing Guardians and save Ekis from completely falling apart. The gameplay in Elsie is a mix of intense bullet-hell action and the endless replayability you expect from a roguelike. You’ll be dashing, diving, and shooting your way through neon-drenched levels, needing lightning-fast reflexes to parry enemy attacks.
The team at Meridiem, who are putting out this physical version, are even making it extra special with a unique case, a sticker sheet, and a character book.
