Fantasy takes a different shape in Elysia: The Astral Fall’s outlandish Solaria. Drones and robots exist alongside mages and humanoid wolves. Wrecks of giant war machines are strewn across a seemingly idyllic medieval-style landscape.

Left to your own devices, it might take longer than a while to make sense of it all. So here are a few tips from the App Store Editors to help you get your bearings fast.

Elysia’s open-world experience begins with putting together a band of heroes who will fight for the good of the people and pacify the land. Your candidates come in six different classes, representing seven elemental factions, and they each have multiple unlockable skills as well.

Figuring out who gel together and who don’t will be essential to putting together the most effective squad. And the other pieces of the puzzle? Equipment. Gear applied to one class will benefit all the heroes who fall under it, so always be looting and learn to love the forging system.

Solaria is a beautiful world to behold: villages are scattered around lush forests and sparkling ponds, and wildlife makes a home out of the war machine wreckage and ruins left behind by the Elysian gods. Take your time to explore and wander – that winding path could take you to strange encounters, treasure chests, puzzle challenges and, of course, more loot!

With the Trailblaze system, your heroes will roam and collect precious goodies even while you’re away. Taking on Trailblaze battles will help them accumulate materials faster, and reaching certain Trailblaze levels also unlocks new parts of the map. Will you get to see every corner of this stunning world?
