Elsie introduces playable character Andru

Andru has been announced as a second playable character in Elsie, the upcoming neo-retro roguelike Elsie.

Here’s the official bio and overview:

Joining the battle is Andru, a melee-based character with a bespoke suite of bladed weapons and power augments. While he has a similar base movement kit to Elsie, such as dash attack, dive, and bounce, his gameplay really diverges when it comes to his loadouts.

Andru’s suite of weapons include a variety of elemental swords, claws, and ghost blades, all with different play styles, abilities, and effects. Every weapon class has three elemental variations similar to Elsie’s guns. Each type of elemental weapon has a different play style and feel, including different combos, attack speeds, and distinct effects that open up a slew of gameplay possibilities.

A trailer showing off Andru in Elsie can be found below.

Elsie is expected on Switch sometime in 2023.
