A World Reforged

ELDEN RING Reforged is an overhaul about giving the player a great variety of reasons to engage with the game world, imagine and realize a compelling character fantasy through balanced and powerful build choices, and refining ELDEN RING's combat system with rich, impactful moment-to-moment decisions and a variety of tools at the player's disposal.

Please note before playing:

  • []Reforged is best enjoyed in thorough, long playthroughs, as if playing again for the first time. Popular "get strong quick" routes are absent.[/]

    []Reforged is rebalanced in deeply fundamental ways, meaning that knowledge and comparisons to vanilla game balance should be left at the door.[/]

    []To promote build variety and fantasy, many previously weak and under-used strategies are now fun and competitive, while some of the more oppressive ones are equalized.[/]

    []Reforged is a polished experience which is fully ready to play, but receives frequent updates and development.[/]

    []Due to the nature of Souls modding, and the quick release schedule, compatibility with other mods is very low.[/]

    []Reforged realizes a strong vision when it comes to its goals and the experience it provides, but all feedback is welcome and accounted for.[/]

    Reforged is for you if:

    • []You love ELDEN RING's game world, the Lands Between, and want to take in all of its untapped potential.[/]

      []You value a seamless and cohesive experience, where every addition effortlessly slots into the game setting.[/]

      []You want to enjoy challenging, fun combat that is a reward in its own right, instead of avoiding encounters.[/]

      []You wish to experience ELDEN RING without the pressure of following "the best strategy" or rushing for "the best weapon".[/]

      []You love designing your own character to suit your strengths, carefully deliberating over many competitive choices.[/]

      []You are looking for a longer, more thorough playthrough, either by yourself or with your friends.[/]

      New and Engaging Combat

      []Guard and (Perfect) Deflect with any weapon, rewarding good timing with a powerful advantage.[/]

      [*]Vary your evasive actions beyond roll
