In a forgotten realm brimming with ancient magic, a dark force threatens the native villagers and untamed lands. As one of the legendary guardian beasts, your mission is clear: defend this mystical territory from encroaching colonisers. Developed by indie creator Kieran Dennis Hartnett, Eldermyth has just made its debut on iOS, delivering a complex and enigmatic roguelike experience rooted in strategy and discovery.
Drawing inspiration from the innovative designs of Michael Brough (868-HACK, Cinco Paus), Eldermyth combines turn-based tactics with rogue-like elements, challenging players to outwit invaders using the environment, shifting weather conditions, and the unique powers of your mythical beast.
Each legendary creature operates by its own set of rules. Some flourish in dense forests, while others grow stronger amidst turbulent skies. The game demands strategic thinking: do you confront threats immediately, or position yourself for a more impactful move down the line? With five diverse terrain types, ever-changing weather cycles, and four distinct enemy factions, every decision carries weight.
While the core mechanics remain intentionally cryptic, Eldermyth rewards curious players with endless opportunities for exploration. Uncover deeper layers of strategy through multiple playthroughs or opt for an in-game guide to reveal hidden secrets. Regardless of your approach, mastering your beast's potential promises endless satisfaction.
For those seeking competition, Eldermyth features local and Game Center leaderboards to showcase your highest scores. And for players who prefer to battle in the dark, a full dark mode ensures a comfortable gaming experience during late-night sessions.
