Overview
Five Elements is a unique real-time strategy game that delves into the inner workings of a monk's mind on a quest for Enlightenment. Developed and published by TaosX, this indie title offers a fresh perspective on the genre by setting the battlefield within the hero's own consciousness. Players will navigate an energy-information structure composed of nodes representing the five Taoist elements: fire, earth, metal, water, and wood. The challenges come in the form of the monk's own sins, negative qualities, and energies, which manifest as enemies to be overcome.
