Early Access Release
One year ago we started with nothing but a dream: to create a VR game that is both fun and fulfills our childhood dream of being as powerful as our heroes on TV. Today, after months of hard work, sweat, tears (and an unhealthy amount of YumYum noodles), we are proud to release this very game into Early Access: Elemental Combat.
Thanks again to all of our numerous Alpha Testers, who gave incredibly useful and motivating feedback. This was exactly what we needed to push ourselves the last few steps and the game would not be the same without you. We hope you had as much fun as we had, while working together with us as we fixed bugs and implemented new community features.
The Early Access release is an important step for the game to mature. We are striving to make Elemental Combat a major competitive action game, which people love to play all around the world. So keep playing the game, continue giving us your feedback and suggestions to improve on Reddit, Discord or per these extremely fast pigeons from Game of Thrones.
In the Early Access version you will already have the following features:
Power over the Four Elements:
Did you ever dream about raising the ground itself into a powerful wall in front of you? Have you ever wished to shoot fire balls from your fists? Then you will have so much fun checking out the different elements and their unique styles and interaction with each other.
Unique Movement System:
Our engineers devised a clever system to track your movements in VR. This system translates your movements into special moves and abilities that give Elemental Combat this special touch of feeling like a super hero. In the future, we will expand the list of abilities and add even more complicated move sets to it. So be ready!
Multiplayer:
The Multiplayer is the core of our game. We are competitive players by heart and it gives the game a completely new layer of fun and interaction. We will continue to release new features in the future like friend lists and ranked games.
Single-Player:
We wanted to create a world that feels believable and gives the player a sense of purpose. The world around Xiangbala and the Elemental Tournament is rich and filled with personal tragedies and a conspiracy that has yet to unfold...
If you have a VR set - get your copy today and join the fray!
If you like the game, please write a positive review as this helps other players to find the game and to grow the community around it.
And of course first of all - HAVE FUN!

Alpha Phase has ended
we are happy to announce that the Alpha Phase was a great success. We collected your awesome feedback and ideas. Be assured that we are working hard so you can see many more of your proposals inside the game.
The play time numbers and your positive feedback blew us away. We are confident to make Elemental Combat into the game we can all be proud of. Our goal is to make Elemental Combat THE VR fighting game out there.
Some words about you, the community, that has formed around Elemental Combat: you are amazing, smart and giving the game its special touch we are all looking for. Our community started little and is now growing constantly with VR veterans and VR newcomers joining us every day. We are proud to have you as our community.
We are now closing the Alpha Phase as we will focus on the next steps of the development process and that is our Early Access release on the 16. November 2017. Wishlist us, if you have not yet. Reach out to your favorite Blog and YouTubers and tell them about the game.
We also have some other things planned we want to announce before the release...so stay tuned!

Patch Notes Alpha Update 0.05
You are showering us with great feedback, tips and ideas and we want to present to you the latest changes of Elemental Combat:
Improved Spell Effects
We (and many of you) thought, a rotating stone around the fist feels a bit weird. So we gave the Basic Attack Earth a new animation and look. Now you can punch your stony fist into your opponent's face! We have also improved the art and performance of the fire basic attack and the advanced technique and gave them the fiery look and feel they deserve.
- New animation and visuals for Basic Attack Earth
- Performance and visual optimization Basic Attack Fire
- Performance and visual optimization Advanced Technique Fire Blast
Destruction Effects added to Barriers
We like destroying things. What feels more epic than crushing through a massive earth barrier? You tell us because you can do that now!
- Added destruction effects to Elemental Barriers
Improved Game Feedback
To give you a better feedback of how much damage you have dealt to a barrier and how much life it has left - we added a health bar to each elemental barrier. Furthermore, for all of you who have wondered how many basic attacks you have left - now you will see an indicator above the health bar, showing you how many shots of raw elemental force you have left.
- Added Health Bar to Elemental Barriers
- Added Basic Attack Indicator to Health Bar
Graphical Improvements
We changed a lot of things on the graphical settings to improve the quality and performance. You should see better frame rates and a more beautiful look.
- Improved graphical performance and look
Giving the A.I. Some Character
Our goal for Elemental Combat is to create a world that feels authentic and believable. This is why we are giving the A.I. opponents some character and in the future we will add story elements and names to them, too.
- Added more clothing and color variants to the A.I.
For all of you who cannot wait to learn more about Xiangbala and the world around it, you can read our lore story here: Elemental Combat: Dragon's Fall
Bug Fixes
- You are not taking damage anymore when you hit your own shield.
- The first opponent in the tutorial has been exchanged for someone with an appropriate skill.
- The texts at the end tutorial are now disappearing when fighting Mei.
Keep the amazing feedback and ideas flowing guys. You are awesome and we are proud to have you as our community.
Your Avrlon Team

Alpha Update 0.04 Patch Notes + Alpha Phase Extension
it is time for another Update of the Alpha Version. We received amazing constructive feedback from you and your voices have been heard! We polished the art and overhauled the ingame UI. We optimized the sound and added a new training area (great idea guys!).
To add, since our average playtime numbers are still by far the highest among competitive VR games (35 min) and we just released a new update, we would like to give you some more days of the free Alpha Phase to test it out for yourself!
Training Area
Up in the Wuling mountains, we found a hidden place, where you can train your newly learned skills in peace. Go all out, don’t hold back. Train as long as you want to.
Polished Art
We polished the arena maps and added some new elements to the fighting grounds. The construction of the monastery have been completed. Now you can for example destroy the tiles around you.
UI Update
To have your mind clear and the enemy always in sight, we added a new health bar and also added a visual feedback for the elements that you have chosen more directly in your field of view. Now you can fully focus on the fights.
Sound Update
Your trainer will speak now more loudly with you. Now you will be able to hear him even through the sounds of the elemental forces around you.

First Live Alpha Update 0.02 Patch Notes
only a couple of days after the Alpha started, we wanted to already ship the first update! We listened to your feedback. With this update we fixed bugs and made some changes to make the life easier for content creators.
Also, we are blown away by your amazing feedback and the extend of your playtime - an crazy average of 35 minutes! This tops all major games by several magnitudes. You rock!
Here are the changes that we did in this first live update:
New Menu
We gave the menu a little more love and created an environment more fitting to our lore and setting.
Fullscreen Mode
We understand the pain of creating content for VR. To make life a bit easier, we made the spectator screen fullscreen for easier recording. We are excited to see what you create!
Bug Fixes
We fixed a critical bug that had the enemy not appearing (probably was too scared or something). Now all the enemies are appearing in the right order to challenge you. They also got a bit of training in the process...you have been warned!
We made some adjustments to sound to make it feel more natural.
Please keep the feedback coming!
Your Elemental Combat Team
Alpha Release
The Alpha testing phase will last for 2 weeks. At the same time, we will be working day and night to implement your feedback and prepare everything for the official Early Access Launch.
Bear in mind that this version is an Alpha version - with possible bugs and that the gameplay and art are all subject to change. Your voice counts now more than ever!
