"Eldermyth: Turn-Based Roguelike Now on iOS"

In the mystical realm of Eldermyth, a forgotten land brimming with ancient magic is under threat, and it's your destiny as one of its legendary guardian beasts to protect its native villagers and untouched landscapes from invading colonizers. Indie developer Kieran Dennis Hartnett has recently released this intriguing turn-based strategy roguelike, or "broughlike," exclusively on iOS, inviting players into a deep, high-score driven adventure that intertwines discovery with defense.

Eldermyth draws inspiration from the ingenious designs of Michael Brough, known for games like 868-HACK and Cinco Paus. In this game, you're not just fighting head-on; you'll need to cleverly manipulate the land's terrain, adapt to shifting weather patterns, and harness the unique abilities of your chosen beast to outmaneuver enemies across a procedurally generated grid.

Each of the legendary beasts you can embody follows different rules and thrives under specific conditions. For instance, one might excel in the dense forest, while another gains power from stormy weather. Every move you make is a strategic decision—do you pursue the invaders now, or set up for a devastating combo in the next turn? With five distinct terrain types, dynamic weather cycles, and four types of enemies each with their own strategies, every choice you make is crucial.

While Eldermyth's mechanics might seem enigmatic at first, the game encourages experimentation, allowing players to uncover its deeper strategic layers through repeated runs. For those who prefer a more guided approach, an in-game guide is available to demystify the hidden rules, ensuring the thrill of optimizing your beast's potential remains fresh and engaging.

For competitive players or those who love to see their name at the top, Eldermyth features both local and Game Center leaderboards where you can track and compare your high scores. Additionally, if you enjoy late-night gaming sessions, a full dark mode theme is available to ensure visual comfort during your mythic battles.
