"Eldermyth: Turn-Based Roguelike Now on iOS"

A forgotten land steeped in ancient magic is under siege, and it's up to you, one of its legendary guardian beasts, to stand in the way. Indie developer Kieran Dennis Hartnett has recently released Eldermyth on iOS, offering a deep and mysterious high-score roguelike experience that blends discovery with defense.

Drawing inspiration from the innovative designs of Michael Brough (868-HACK, Cinco Paus), Eldermyth is a turn-based strategy roguelike, often referred to as a broughlike, that challenges you to safeguard native villagers and pristine land from invading colonizers.

In Eldermyth, direct confrontation isn't the only strategy. You'll need to utilize the land's terrain, adapt to shifting weather patterns, and leverage your beast's unique abilities to outsmart the enemy across a procedurally generated grid.

Each creature in the game operates under different rules. One might flourish in the forest, while another gains strength from stormy skies. Every decision involves a delicate balance: should you pursue invaders immediately, or position yourself for a potent combo in the next turn? With five terrain types, dynamic weather cycles, and four distinct enemy types, each with its own strategy, every move is critical.

While the core mechanics are intentionally kept obscure, Eldermyth encourages experimentation. You'll gradually uncover deeper strategic layers through repeated plays. For those who prefer a more straightforward approach, an in-game guide is available to reveal the hidden rules. Regardless of your approach, the excitement of optimizing your beast's potential remains fresh and engaging.

If you're competitive or simply enjoy seeing your name at the top, Eldermyth supports local and Game Center leaderboards to track your high scores. Additionally, for those who prefer their mythic battles with a touch of visual comfort, a full dark mode theme is available, perfect for late-night gaming sessions.
