A Reddit user, brightyh360, recently shared an incredible project on the r/excel subreddit: a top-down version of Elden Ring, painstakingly recreated in Microsoft Excel. This feat of programming took approximately 40 hours – 20 hours dedicated to coding and another 20 to testing and debugging. The creator stated the result was well worth the effort.
This impressive spreadsheet game boasts:
- A massive 90,000-cell map;
- Over 60 weapons;
- More than 50 enemies;
- Character and weapon upgrade systems;
- Three distinct character classes (tank, mage, and assassin);
- 25+ armor sets;
- Six NPCs with associated quests;
- Four different game endings.
While entirely free to play, the game utilizes keyboard shortcuts for control: CTRL + WASD for movement and CTRL + E for interaction. Reddit moderators have verified the file's safety, but users are advised to proceed with caution due to the extensive use of macros.
Interestingly, the game's Erdtree has drawn comparisons to a Christmas tree, especially around Christmas Eve. User Independent-Design17 suggests the Australian Christmas tree, Nuytsia floribunda, may have served as inspiration. They point to the striking visual similarities between the in-game Small Erdtrees and the Nuytsia. Further parallels exist in the game's lore: the catacombs at the base of the Erdtree, where souls are guided, mirror the Aboriginal belief in Nuytsia as a "spirit tree," its vibrant colors associated with the sunset, the supposed path of spirits, and each flowering branch symbolizing a departed soul.
