I never played the original Elona so when I look at its sequel, Elin, there are two things that jump immediately to mind. The first is Project Zomboid, despite the lack of oppressive waves of the walking dead, and the other is Tibia, a classic MMO. Elin offers a similar in-depth permadeath experience such as that found in the former, while giving you the kind of huge, chaotic world to live in and explore as in the latter. If that sounds like something you might want to hop into, it's out now in early access and it's already making waves on Steam.
