Is ELEVATED worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who enjoy asymmetric matches and want to take either the escaping-prisoner or hunter role
- Groups looking for multiplayer rounds built around shared escape tasks and one opposing player
- Solo players who want to play against AI rather than other players
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a varied set of modes; the described early-access mode is Apocalypse
- Players who prefer a slow, low-pressure pace may find the countdown, pursuit, and combat structure a poor match
- Players looking for a single-player campaign without AI opponents
Our take on ELEVATED
The description emphasizes multiple modes and features that may arrive during early access, but identifies Apocalypse as the mode currently available. Its escape-and-hunt setup is therefore the clearest guide to the present game.
What is ELEVATED?
ELEVATED is an 8-versus-1 thriller in which prisoners work to reach a safe room while an executioner hunts them.
As a prisoner, find a door number, activate 1 to 6 electrical switches depending on difficulty, and collect the parts of a four-digit password. Flare guns, tasers, fire extinguishers, injections, and lockers offer ways to respond to danger. Once one prisoner enters the safe room, the others must arrive before a countdown ends. As the executioner, use a submachine gun and machete, travel between floors by elevator, check prisoner locations on a map for 5 seconds, and operate some iron gates. Task-room locations are randomized each game. The game offers single-player with AI and multiplayer with other players, plus voice chat.
