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 prowess took approximately 40 hours—20 hours dedicated to coding and another 20 to rigorous testing and debugging. The creator states the project utilized formulas, spreadsheets, and VBA.
The impressive scope of the Excel Elden Ring includes:
- A sprawling 90,000-cell map.
- Over 60 unique weapons.
- More than 50 different enemy types.
- A fully functional character and weapon upgrade system.
- Three distinct character classes (tank, mage, assassin) with varied playstyles.
- 25+ armor sets to customize your character.
- Six non-player characters (NPCs) with engaging quests.
- Four different game endings to discover.
While entirely free to play, controlling the game requires keyboard shortcuts: CTRL + WASD for movement and CTRL + E for interactions. Reddit moderators have verified the file's safety, but users are advised to exercise caution due to the extensive use of macros.
Interestingly, the game's Erdtree has sparked a comparison to the Australian Christmas tree, Nuytsia floribunda. User Independent-Design17 noted striking similarities between the in-game Small Erdtrees and this real-world tree. Furthermore, the cultural significance of Nuytsia as a "spirit tree" in Australian Aboriginal culture, with its vibrant colors associated with the sunset (the supposed path of spirits) and each flowering branch representing a departed soul, echoes the game's depiction of catacombs at the Erdtree's roots, where souls are guided in Elden Ring.
