"Eldermyth: New Turn-Based Roguelike Now on iOS"

Dive into the mystical world of Eldermyth, a turn-based strategy roguelike where you embody a legendary guardian beast tasked with defending a forgotten land from invading colonizers. Developed by indie creator Kieran Dennis Hartnett, this iOS game offers a unique high-score challenge that blends deep strategy with the thrill of discovery.

Drawing inspiration from the innovative designs of Michael Brough (known for 868-HACK and Cinco Paus), Eldermyth, or as some might call it, a "broughlike," places you in the heart of a procedurally generated grid. Your mission? To safeguard the native villagers and preserve the untouched beauty of the land. Success hinges on your ability to utilize the terrain, adapt to changing weather patterns, and leverage your beast's unique abilities to outsmart the enemy.

Each beast you control follows its own set of rules, thriving in different environments—from the dense forests to stormy skies. Strategic choices abound: should you pursue invaders immediately, or position for a powerful attack next turn? With five distinct terrain types, dynamic weather cycles, and four varied enemy types, each with their own tactics, your every move counts.

While Eldermyth's core mechanics remain shrouded in mystery, the game encourages experimentation, rewarding you as you uncover its strategic depths through multiple runs. For those who prefer a more direct approach, an in-game guide is available to unveil the hidden rules, allowing you to optimize your beastly prowess.

Competitive players will appreciate Eldermyth's support for local and Game Center leaderboards, where you can track and compare your high scores. Additionally, for those who enjoy gaming late into the night, the game offers a full dark mode theme to enhance visual comfort during your mythic battles.

Embark on your journey to protect the land by downloading Eldermyth now for $2.99 or your local equivalent on iOS.
