In the mystical and forgotten land of Eldermyth, a realm steeped in ancient magic, the native villagers are under siege by invading colonizers. As a legendary guardian beast, it's your duty to stand against the invaders and protect the untouched land. Indie developer Kieran Dennis Hartnett has launched Eldermyth on iOS, offering a deep and mysterious high-score roguelike experience that blends discovery with defense.
Eldermyth draws inspiration from the innovative designs of Michael Brough, known for games like 868-HACK and Cinco Paus. This turn-based strategy roguelike, or "broughlike," challenges players to safeguard the native villagers and their land from encroaching threats.
To succeed, you must utilize the terrain, adapt to shifting weather patterns, and harness the unique abilities of your chosen beast. The game unfolds on a procedurally generated grid, where strategic decisions are crucial. Each beast has its own set of rules; some thrive in forests, while others gain strength from stormy skies. With five terrain types, dynamic weather cycles, and four distinct enemy types, every move you make can shift the balance of power.
The game's mechanics are intentionally kept obscure, encouraging players to experiment and uncover deeper strategic layers through repeated runs. For those who prefer guidance, an in-game guide is available to reveal the hidden rules, ensuring that optimizing your beast's potential remains a thrilling challenge.
Competitive players can track their high scores on local and Game Center leaderboards, adding an extra layer of excitement. For those who enjoy gaming late into the night, a full dark mode theme is available to enhance visual comfort.
Eldermyth is available for download on iOS for $2.99 or its local equivalent. Dive into this captivating world and protect the land as a legendary guardian beast.
